Hey everyone,
Well I have been writing a blog for this week all week and I just erased it all. Today(Sunday) I learned an amazing lesson! God provides!!! I mean I always knew that he gives me everything I need, and even things I don't need but want! This week I lost my job and it was a little rough. Financially it has been so tough! Last Sunday night I completely broke down and did not get it, but I went to a friends house Monday night and really enjoyed spending some time just talking about things and working through some stuff. Even though there was nothing specific to talk about, I just really enjoyed being around Godly people who are trying just as hard to make it in this crooked world. Yes Carl, even the burnt fish sticks were good! haha...anyway! This weekend was another test of my faith. Friday night at band practice we were playing a song called Our God, some of the lyrics got me, I just stopped playing a just worshipped! I love our band! the fun we can have but still love and worship Christ. I love playing music, I wish I could play all the time. the song says
"Into the darkness you shine out of the ashes we rise there's no one like you none like You!
Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other.
Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our God!"
in this verse where it says that into the darkness you shine out of the ashes you rise there is no one like you, It just hit me! sometimes my life feels so dark, being a college student is hard!(don't get wrong though i love it) but losing my job was even harder. That job was what I counted on to get me to school. then where in the song where it says that our god is greater, our god is stronger, God you are higher then any other, our god is healer!!! I had no idea what I was going to do. I was stuck, I have two weeks left in this semester and I cant finish it..of course I'm a little dramatic! haha. but on a serious note, it really did feel like that! hearing this song made me realize that God is my everything!!! Then Saturday I was driving to troy and my tire blew out, of course another problem that involved money! but one of my incredible friends :D came to my rescue yet again! he replaced my tire! why would someone do that. I remember being in the car and thinking why God why? How am I gonna do this now! as I was waiting for my friend to get there I kept singing blessed be your name, which we played at band practice as well on Friday, Every blessing you pour out ill turn back to praise, when the darkness closes in Lord still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord....etc. God provided for me!! Then today at church I had three people come to me and say I hear your looking for work. I have some opportunities for you, Hank, another good friend from the band came and offered me a second time a job with him and said all i need to do is get my fingers printed and I could start...How amazing is God! I think he is incredible. He knows everything I need and when I need it! Hank had no idea that I lost my job. God truly provides!...God is amazing! I just cant fathom everything that he has done for me. sometimes I really don't get how I can be a complete bum but still saved by the grace of God.I mess up so much and he still loves me. its so awesome. As I'm typing this it brings another song to my mind, you love me anyway by sidewalk prophets. If you have not heard it, LISTEN TO IT! its awesome! no matter what God loves me anyway. Music is such an incredible outlet, it really helps me all, I mean all the time! Alright I really really need to do some homework, have a great week everyone, and remember that God loves you and so do I
BECAUSE OF JESUS WE HAVE HOPE!!!
