Jesus > The World
Hi!
So ever since I got that three day migraine last week that I mentioned in my last post, I've been feeling off; not depressed necessarily, but definitely not right. I had hardly any motivation and just wanted to curl up in bed and forget the world. This is un-like me as you probably have figured out from my normally enthusiastic posts (haha!), but nonetheless that's how I was feeling...just proof that I'm human I guess. However, today on my drive to an appointment, I was renewed of my love and enthusiastic feel for life!
I had some extra time, as I had left early not knowing how traffic or the roads would be, and figured I'd take care of an errand I had to do instead of just sitting in the parking lot waiting, but instead, God, distinctly, whispered to my soul to continue driving and to sit and listen to Air1 til my appointment. I fought a little bit and thought, "I have the time now, why can't I just run in and get it over with," but He made it clear that I'd understand and just to listen so I went with it. As I drove past the store I was going to go in, We Believe by the Newsboys came on which is one of my new favorites of theirs and such a powerful song. You ever have those moments where you just can feel God's presence wash over you and can feel His love for you like a hug? Well it's one of the coolest things ever and that totally is what happened during this song as I listened and sang a long. As I continued driving and later, parked and sat in my car for 10 minutes, three more of my favorite songs played that really touched me and brought tears to my eyes (you guys must think I cry all the time, I don't really it's just there are times where the fact that He even gives me a second glace is so humbling I can't help myself). The other three songs were Sea of Faces, Gold, and Love is Here. Another cool thing is that just as I was about to go inside a behind the music of Write Your Story, by Francesca Battistelli came on and I thought to myself how I hoped it would be playing at some point on the way home, and GUESS WHAT? I get in my car, turn it on, and Write Your Story was JUST starting to play; God is SO good to me it's AWESOME! Lesson to all you readers, if God tells you do something DO IT! He always has a reason, even if we may not know what it is right away.
So whatever you are facing today and especially if you're in that place where you are not motivated to do life or are depressed, know that Jesus is greater than this world and all that is in it! He conquered death and He sees where you are and is WITH you no matter what you do. No matter where you have gone wrong or what wrong has been done to you, God is BIGGER and if He can arrange for a set of songs to be played on the radio that I needed to hear and make sure that another song that I wanted to hear plays when I get back in my car an hour later, He can get your through what you are dealing with. And maybe you're not dealing with anything tough right now and you're life is "perfect", well remember that this won't last forever, but enjoy it while it does, and don't forget to thank the One who is blessing you with your "mountain moments." No matter where you are or where you've been He's in control and He deserves all the praise we can give Him, just for waking us up in the morning let alone all the other little and big things He does for us, whether we are aware of them or not. He has blessed me SO richly and although by some people's standards I'm poor, I feel rich because I have the God of angel armies with me at all times, I have a job that not only pays for my bills, but one that I LOVE and look forward to going to, a house, a car that works, family, friends, health, and SO much more! I hope that this post finds you happy and well, but if not, know that He is looking after you and has it all under control even if you can't see Him at work or feel like you're life is too chaotic to be at all "controlled." Trust Him and you will be rewarded.
Have a GREAT weekend everyone!
Until Next Time!
