These past several months I've not "blogged" (don't like that word) for, at times, a lack of knowing just what to say. Looking back, so many changes have taken place in my life this past year, including a big move, to Nashville. Seems it's been a roller coaster of sorts, yet again, at this time of life, but I'm soooo thankful to know that He has just what we need and sends His blessings along the way to meet our every need, and in alot of cases, even our smallest desires. It's ok that everyone doesn't understand us, our lives and even our needs, but He does, and not only that He has the answers and remedies for it all. This past weekend I got to spend some memorable days with two of the blessings He's placed in my life. You might say I was just a little spoiled this weekend. ;) They've been such precious friends for a few years now, but our hearts have grown so much closer this past year and I'm so blessed and thankful for the love and connection that has seemed to just come so naturally. This day didn't start out the best, but at the moment my heart is just a little overwhelmed with this warm fuzzy feeling as if it were just a much needed BIG hug today. :) Seems that all through life He has always given just what was needed, and just exactly when I thought I'd fall apart, or just couldn't make it any further, just one more way He chooses to show His love toward us and the fact that He has it ALL, everything we need. I long for more of Him and all that He is. Although my mind can't possibly fathom His love and mercies, I know that there is not one person or thing on this earth that can possible match Him and although I've struggled in my faith and trust in Him, I know what He's capable of, after all, I've experienced it time and again. He's proven Himself faithful over and over and proven that His love is one without conditions. I'm still working on the "trusting" part, but I'm forever grateful to be able to feel His presence on days like this, aren't you? It's just proof that He's ever present. Being a person who likes to be in control of every aspect of my life and to know and have planned out my every step (fearing all the unknowns), I've struggled with giving allll control over to Him trusting that He knows just what I need and will provide it in His way and time. In conversation this weekend with "Mama" Carol, I became even more aware of the reality of His unconditional love. Isn't it amazing how He chooses to open our eyes to new things at specific times? On the trip back home, not wanting to leave, and reflecting on not only their love this weekend, but the new revelation of the depth of His love an overwhelming sense of His presence came into that car and I spent quite some time talking with Him and allowing Him that quiet time to speak with me. So sweet is His presence if we just allow Him the time to express Himself. So, although it really hasn't been that great of a day, I'm thankful for reminders of His love and the blessings He sends into our lives, and that that in itself can just turn around the whole direction of the day ahead. I've found, once again, that He will send those blessings (people/things/etc.) into our lives just when we least expect them and maybe even in the way we least expect, but I'm sooo thankful that His way and timing is best. I'm sure I'll have many more lessons to learn in this and of course there'll still be those times of fearing the unknowns, but for now, I'm gratefully blessed and amazed at how once again, He has loved me. He loves you too!!! What's that desire or need in your life? Does it seem like an impossible task? Well guess what? Mine did too, but He is more than able, even if you feel you may not have the faith that's needed to see it happen, if you'll just wait on Him, you'll be amazed. :) Leaving you, for now, thankful for His unconditional love and the blessing of the unconditional love He sends our way through those down here.
