Spirit Lead Me Where My Trust Is Without Borders
Mondays are so unproductive for me. Even though I usually have quite a bit of stuff to do and attend three classes, I find myself in the computer lab on campus catching up on the blogging world... before I even start handling the important stuff. But no worries, Tuesdays are absolutely free so most of my stuff gets done then!
Let me just tell ya'll that my God is so amazing (not that you ladies didn't already know, lol)! I had a little situation that had me quite stressed out this weekend. I prayed about it, devised a plan that I was sure to work, and executed said plan.
Well, said plan failed.
Toby and my friend tried to comfort me in telling me to just relax and trust God, and I promise ya'll I really tried. But by Sunday, I was in such a funk that I didn't even want to be a greeter at church. I just wanted to sit in my seat, pray, and be left alone.
By the end of service, Toby tells me the pastor wants to talk with us. He tells me that he talked to our pastor earlier in the week and asked for prayer. Long story short, God used my pastor to answer my prayers!
I was so overwhelmed with emotion. In the car I felt like God was like "See, I told you I had this. I'm interested in every part of your life."
This isn't the first time God has been there to rescue me. Yet, it baffles me that I continue to see my problems as bigger than God or that God can't be bothered with my little problems. Although I felt I had faith that God would work it out, part of me still doubted and had several backup plans in case He fell through.
So I learned two lessons yesterday: 1) God is so invested in every single minute detail of our lives. 2) Faith in God = not having backup plans "in case He falls through".
Oh, and special shout out to my pastor, Cornelius Lindsey, for being such an amazing man of God and having an obedient heart. What might have been a small gesture to you, was a huge revelation in part of who God is to me. Thank you.
And to my honey bunny, Tobias, thank you for your loving heart and ever increasing leadership in our relationship. You've helped me push past my pride and lack of faith and was right there by my side. You're truly amazing, and I love you so much!
Welp, it's a little chilly here in the A-T-L, but it's still a beautiful day out! Hope you ladies enjoy your Monday! :)
Love you, sis!
