Randomness galorious!

Yes I am in a random mood so peoples (is that even a word?) BEWARE! :)

So what amazing happened in my life today? Well, I had a bad day physically. Not so much in the morning but by early afternoon I was struggling. The numbness and tingling went into exhaustion and then I was really weak (could barely walk across a room weak). I was really upset just because I had been doing really good and been feeling so much better since starting my new diet so when it all started happening again-I got incredibly frustrated! My dad told me that I needed to accept my physical limitations and if you know me...that is very hard for me to do! I am a doer! Always jumping up to do things...acting on whims...that kind of thing. ANYWHO!
God used it to teach me yet another lesson (He is so good at doing that). I had all these plans that I wanted done and yet, HE had different ones.

Since I was in bed most of the day I decided to have a "date" with God. And what a wonderful time it turned out to be :)

Yesterday I was really struggling with some decisions that needed to be made. I spent most of yesterday in prayer and woke up today not really knowing much more then I had last night. I was reading in a devotional that has scripture for morning and night (It is call the Daily Light I believe) and these 2 verses just really jumped out at me:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

Have you ever thought about the fact that we serve a God who encourages us to talk to Him? Have you ever thought that we serve a God who we can confide in? Have you ever thought how AWESOME it is that the God of the UNIVERSE cares about our personal lives? It kind of blows my mind when I think about it!

Then I had this amazing thought: I am to be anxious for nothing so those things that I had been stressing about...they needed to be brought before the Lord in prayer and then left there in HIS care.

So my time with the Lord was spent doing just that. I think that I filled 9 pages in my prayer journal today! It was awesome!

The neatest part was that if I had been energetic like I thought I should be...I would have probably missed out on a huge blessing!

So here is something to ponder:
How often do we let the day-to-day things get in the way of time with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? How often do we not lay our problems at His feet because "we can fix it ourselves"? How often are we too busy or too tired to take the time to do the things that really matter (like time in the Word and in prayer)?

These are some of the questions I have been pondering as a result of today. Just thought I would share :)

So cool news:

My brother Danny now has a blog of his own! Check it out here: Living Life Completely For Christ

I am so excited to see where it goes :)

Blessings to you all!
