Romans 8:37-39

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Romans 8:37-39)

My day or God's day?

So I haven't posted in awhile....

God has opened my eyes to so many things lately. It is hard to explain in words but I have peace. I have not had peace in a long time but God has given me peace and I have finally excepted his gift. I finally can speak about my future without being anxious or worrisome of doing the wrong thing. I still don't know what He has for my future in detail but I don't even know what He has for me today.

I woke up yesterday just like any other day, but it was not like just any other day. I went to morning prayer and then instead of leaving as soon as it is over to see if i could get a quick nap in I stayed because a friend needed comfort. I left prayer and got ready for class quickly because i wanted to crame in some last minute studying for a test that turned out we didn't even take. He gave us an extension and will take next time. I was thankful. The rest of the time I had freedom to sit and take in what the teacher was talking about for both classes without beating myself up for not studying like i should have messing up on a test. After class I ran around to a couple different businesses to try to get some last minute money for our fundraiser and only sold 5. But when I got back I found out that one of my friends decided to buy 5 more from me so, it was a blessing. I then left got some lunch and then headed to the dream center for a day of painting, at least I thought. I got there and right when I got out of my truck charity walks out and asks if I am going on outreach with them and I told her I would have to ask. I called donna up real quick and she told me to go on outreach instead of painting. So I got on the shuttle with charity and the team from utah and left. We went and got some apples and bread from the warehouse to give out to an apartment complex. Most of the team went door to door handing them out while 3 of us stayed behind to bag them up for the team that was going out. As I was bagging apples one of the guys came back and told us that someone excepted Christ after getting apples and bread. The guy asked to recieve Christ in his heart so 2 guys on outreach led him in a prayer and he excepted God into his heart. How awesome is that! I have done alot of outreaches but not that often do get see actual fruit. God allowed us to see some fruit that they day though. Anyway on the way back to the dream center the lady from utah got a call from her daughter and found out that her daughter's husband's aunt died last night because her son shot her. Wow.. So her daughter needed money so they could go and be with the family. So then the lady needed to go to a bank to transfer money to her daughter's account. So I was asked to take her when we got back from outreach. We don't have the same banks as utah so we had find a cousin bank and the original directions got lost. I called the bank they found and just asked for the closest location did not know it was not a cousin until we got there. So they told us cousin bank and we started heading that direction by this time we were pushing for time because banks close at 5 and we are now in traffic. We got lost a couple of times and then finally got some concrete directions from my good friend angela. We made it to the bank on time then we had a new task at hand we needed to find a western union to transfer the money. Got stuck in traffic again but found one then headed back to the brdc. It only took us 2 hours for what we thought was only a 20 minute errand. It was all good though because we had fun with it and we accomplished the task in time and she blessed me with gas money. :) By the time I got back to the dream center it was 6:20 and everyone was gone and everything was locked up. So I left for home.

I said all of that because I started out thinking it was just going to be another day in school of ministry, but God had different plans for me.

1. Spent much needed quality time with friends
2. Was given grace and did not have take a test
3. Went on outreach and I love outreach
4. Got see fruit and God move on someone's heart
5. God allowed me to help someone in need
6. Got icecream with some roomates! :)

There is no telling what will happen when you totally release everything into God's hands especially your time.
