Today has been such an amazing day! The Lord and his timing is most definitely so perfect and unexpected! I look forward to every Thursday because though The Lord is present throughout my entire week Thursdays are just such a blessing! Attending the weekly CRU meetings is definitely what my closest friends and I look forward throughout our week of stressful classes.
Yesterday I was having a valley day, struggling with my single christian woman status, college classes, friendships, and everything that I could have imagined that could go wrong went wrong. So at the end of the day the only thing I could do was to give it up to The Lord. No problem, issue, or valley day that we may have he is so much bigger and greater than we can even begin to imagine. At the end of the day I went to The Lord in prayer and laid down all my problems at his feet and asked him to pour his cleansing love over me and set my heart at ease with what I had been dealing with and what my friends had been dealing with as well.
And to my delighted surprise The Lord definitely made this such a wonderful day. We are all so immensely blessed beyond compare and today that was so ever apparent. Tonight my amazing friends and I went to the Vine before CRU which is this wonderful gathering at the manor of the sweetest Christian lady where a group of wonderful Godly women bless us Meredith girls so well by sharing The Lords love with us. Tonights speaker spoke right into my soul and the souls of my friends. Everything that she said we could all relate to. It is so completely and undeniably true that our future is not in our hands but instead of the AMAZING hands of the Father.
My prayer to The Lord last night on my valley day was answered tonight at the vine and went on into the always exciting and unexpected CRU primetime meeting. The Lord made it clear tonight that the book of James chapter one that speaks of trials and tribulations and surpassing that. The "testing of our faith develops perseverance" and we grow in Him. What more could we want? As we struggle in our lives with whatever it may be we must know that his plan is greater and he is at work in our lives. In James 1:16 it is said "that every good and perfect gift is from above" The Lord does not forget us in our times of struggle he may simply be asking us to wait and giving us exactly what we need at times we would never have imagined.
It always means so much more when The Lord speaks to you when you least expect it. It comes likes waves, unforced and perfectly timed to His crazy-perfect clock. So I know this week I have had my fair share of valley moments, as have my friends, as I am sure you have as well; but just know The Lord has most definitely not forgotten you he will bless you at the perfect time.
As I am so full of The Holy Spirit and in reverence at how amazing God's timing is; I pray that you always have faith and trust that The Lord calls all times soon. No matter what the circumstance he has a plan! I heard The Lord loud and clear tonight at The Vine and CRU and for that I am so incredibly full. But it doesn't matter where you hear Him or feel Him in your life. Just simply LISTEN and you will be so amazed and the blessing will be so worth the while.
I leave you with the word Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to five you hope and a future." How crazy is it that our perfect Lord has planned our lives out our lives 2 seconds from now to 2 years from now? We are so blessed beyond compare and each day that becomes even more clear in my life. God is so good and perfect in his timing and all of his ways ALWAYS and FOREVER.
