"The LORD will perfect that which concerning me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the work of thine own hands."
~Psalms 138:5~
It amazes me how the Lord is orchestrating my life right now. I have flown home from Texas, and I am in the Carolinas right now. It has been about four days and the Lord is already lining up a job for me! That is exciting to hear and know that he is still answering my prayers--even outside of Teen Mania. Although he is teaching me obedience to his word, it encourages me to know that with obedience comes blessing, and that he is still looking out for me. Selah!
"The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy."
"The LORD is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works."
~Psalms 145:8-9
Well, this is a random thought, but the Lord was wanting me to get a hair cut. Now why would the God of the Universe want me to do that? I don't exactly know, but I think he did not like my nappy fro that I have been growing for like a year straight. The problem with this situation was that I only had $7 and the hair buzz would cost $10 (which means I would be potentially be in debt). So what did ------- (Hidden Nook) do? I simply asked my brother (which I loathe asking for anything simply because that would mean I would owe him a favor) so I swallowed my pride (a humbling experience and asked if I could borrow $3. He surprisingly gave me the money immediately as soon as I had my head chopped (the hair rather) not only did I come out looking like a million bucks, but in the mail a radio station was giving out $6 for free for me to fill out a survey (which is odd because I don't listen to the radio. How phat (slang for pretty high and great) is that! Selah!
"The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth."
"He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them."
~Psalms 145:18-19~
This is something that I am learning more every day. The more I dwell in truth, the more I abide by his ways, the more he desires to pour out that blessing upon me. I love the Lord, he already is choosing my path (aka opening opportunities) for me in life. The plans that he had taught me at the Honor Academy are slowly coming to pass, and the first "phase" is coming to pass before my very eyes! He is fulfilling my desires before my eyes, and hopefully, Lord willing, will allow me to return to the region that I love in the Middle East. Selah!
"Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite."
~Psalms 147:5~
