There are some things I wanted to talk about- but I hesitate because I don't want anyone to be turned off by my preaching- but then again how often do we think about God? We need to even if you don't agree with me or believe what I am saying. Even if you do not believe in God hearing my testimony may give you some insight into my life and how it was changed.
So, with that preface I am going to tell you what happened to me last Sat. I believe that God speaks to us many different ways, through events and situations, people he sends to us in our lives, most importantly through his word in the Bible.If you pay attention- you will see him at work everyday in your life. But literally- I heard God speak to me. This business I am working on has its ups and downs. I know through it all that He has a plan for me and I have learned to TRUST even when things don't make sense or are not going my way. It takes a lot of stress off of me to know that ultimately He is in control. I need to follow His will for me. Sometimes that's hard but it requires looking for the ways that He speaks to me in my life. There are times when I bust my butt working on something, knowing that God is motivating me and giving me the strength to accomplish what I need to do, and then there are times when no matter what I do, the outcome is completely in his hands. So I let it go. Usually that is a battle in my brain- goes something like this: I HAVE to get this done- no, it God's timeline not yours. But I NEED to know- no God will let you know when you need to. I can't be patient- you have to be patient because you are not in control of this! Well, I was working out last Sat. feeling quite yucky, out of shape and gross, a little down about a few things and then I heard Him speak to me. He said "Jenny you can shine". What? It didn't hit me until the class was over and I went into the bathroom when I thought about what He said. I could feel my eyes well up and burn. How perfect- I can shine! I can shine with His light within me. He didn't say "you are shining" or "you are a shiner" but I know can with his Grace. I need to change a few things in my life to get to my full shining potential- particularly my discipline about some things. But I am so thankful for those words.
This Sat. is Adam's 6th birthday "pirate" party at our house. 16 kids are coming, boys and girls, of all ages. I have been kinda down the last few days because we had scheduled a pirate to come and facepaint do balloons etc and they cancelled. It has been on my mind along with the 20 million other things I got going on. I prayed this morning to ease my mind. Well, what do you know- I checked my email and the "Seize the Deal" of the day was Horses for Hooplas! I called the lady and she is coming!! She is bringing a miniature horse with obstacle course for the kids to ride. I am soooo excited. Can't wait. Thank you God for these blessings!
