Grateful Day 87

Processed with VSCOcam with p5 presetToday was a sleepy and sneezy day! My allergies are acting up a bit, and it doesn’t help that I get very little sleep at night. Since it was a sleepy day I decided to treat myself to a nice Soy Chi Tea Latte from Starbucks. Mmmmm. I also have been listening/loving this song I  listened to while doing work at school today.

It’s a gem! A true pearl! There aren’t really enough words to describe the beauty and wonder of this song. I would say that listening to this song reminds me of things I speak over my life and the way God constantly stirs in me passions for life and different parts of my life. I some times ignore the way God is tugging my heart, or I hid from them. I hide from what I feel him calling me to or what he is asking me to do. Or plainly what he’s asking of me, because some times it’s scary and even though I love the Lord and I desire to serve Him, I’m human and my humanness stops me. Then it gets to the point where I can’t fight what God is asking of me, what he’s asking me to do and set aside for him and I ask for grace and strength to step up. I ask for courage to go forth and do what he is asking. I trust him the same way a little kid trusts their parents when they are learning to walk. When a kid learns how to walk they trust their mom or dad is going to be there to pick them up when they fall. When God asks me to do something and he fills me with all the courage and strength I need to go, I am like a little kid learning how to walk for the first time trusting that their mom or dad is going to be there to pick them up when they fall. I have learned to trust God through so many situations and in so many areas of my life and I know when I fall my Father is going to be there to pick me up the way he has before.

“Who is He that makes me happy Who is He that gives me peace Who is He that brings me comfort And turns the bitter into sweet Who is stirring up my passion Who is rising up in me Who is filling up my hunger, with everything I need”. Sometimes I wonder who is this God I have chosen to serve. Who is this God who has given me peace and comfort so many times throughout my life. Who has always picked me up when I have fallen. Who dusts me off, gives me a nice squeeze then sends me off. This God who chose to love me. I may never know the extent of who God is, but I hope that in this life my hunger and desire to know him grows and that I will know him as the most important Being in my life.
