Yes, life stinks. Yes, people are still people. Yes, I'm still having a hard time keeping up with my Bible and Prayers. But God is good! He loves me anyway! He proves to me day after day that He is right by my side! In what ways does He prove this?
Well one morning, for whatever reason, I didn't go to work (housecleaning for an elderly neighbor). What came in the mail that day? A check from a survey company I do surveys for!
I was feeling kind of down one day...messing around on the internet...and found myself! On my good friend's blog she had posted a verse I had shared with her (and more). What a pick me up to know that I had been important to that person that day! (all to the glory of God of course :-) ) A friendship come back to bless me! (and it has!!! Many, many, many times!)
Was grocery shopping the other day (always a fun thing...NOT!) when the Lord led me to a 20 lb box of fresh corn...for $3!!! Then, the sweet guy at the counter gave me a $1 back!!! (the Lord uses him regularly in this area)
Was missing my mom GREATLY earlier this month (when she was with her mother who was going through a mastectomy) when a sweet lady at church took me under her wing and gave me a little "mommy" babying after a CRAZY weekend.
While my mom was staying with her mom, we were a little nervous about situations and relationships there. Recieved a call from my mom and was told all about the blooming relationship the Lord has been creating between my mom and her sister!
Was in my Bible this morning and came across a wonderful verse!
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." (I Corinthians 1:25) Amen and praise the Lord! So I sent that around to a whole bunch of my girl friends. Received back a few responses of "Thank you" and "Good stuff". Got to feeling good about being used like that and then came across a verse a little farther along... "So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." (I Corinthians 3:7) and was reminded that none of it is of me. I'm just the vessel to be used by God's mighty hand!!! "But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon." (I Corinthians 3:10b)
And that's not all either! The month isn't over yet! Nor the year! What amazing things will God do around the next dozen corners??? I can't wait to see. :-)
I don't know that any of that really made any sense...I guess I didn't have a "topic" today, just wanted to praise the Lord. How about you? :-)
With Prayers,
Sarah
