Oh, this is sooo cool. But, let me just say it was a VERY crappy Saturday. I worked and unexpectingly was welcomed by a cool & reprimanding letter on my desk from my boss. Let me back up to say that the night before my old basketball coach (Oliver) called and said they were playing in Hillsboro for 1st. We decided to go and watch and I was very excited. Let me preface all of this with the fact that I truly think I love (d) my coach. He was just someone I always wanted to please and work hard for. I loved my basketball career in Highschool because of him and he always will have a special place in my heart. So, like usually happens, I was anticipating seeing him and his family, but I seem to go one step further always and just reminisce alot. Then I get all emotional and wander 'what if' and so on... SO, I really prayed to God and asked for my thoughts to be obedient unto Christ (1 Cor. 10:5).
Well, Saturday morning comes and let me tell you my thoughts were blindsided and taken aback and overwhelmed with what I had read on that note. So, I truly believe that just as Joesph's brothers meant him harm, God meant it for good and my thoughts remained re-focused and pure. So, I believe God was answering my prayer (just not the way I had ever imagined or wanted). Thank you Lord Jesus for being Lord of my life. I pray for your protection, for your guidance for your Lordship in my life. May I forever be a blessing to my family and to all who come to know me or know about me. WOW! That was really an aha God moment for me.
b/t/w - Ryan & I had a great time at the ball game and visiting with Coach Oliver. Ryan also ran into one of his former baseball coaches at Barton County. What blessings God allowed us to have I believe because we were obedient to Him. Ryan & I also recognized and acknowledged God for the people He put into our lives without our realizing (until years later) and without our asking. Oh dear God, thank you for giving us what we needed the most. Please continue to bless us when we are ignorant of what those blessings should be.
Amen!
