Epiphany

OK. This is the first of hopefully many posts.

WARNING- I have ben contemplating starting a blog for a while, so I will probably spill a lot of info in this first post. I hope you will bear with me and read my ramblings. I have never thought that I had anything especially interesting to say.

For this post, I will share what the Lord spoke to me yesterday, in my car.

Most of Texas is aware that it has been raining lately, A LOT!
As one of many downpours came upon Georgetown, I was listening to the song, "God You Reign," by Lincoln Brewster on KLOVE. The Lord not only reigns over our lives, He also provides much needed rain to our land.
God was reminding me of all the storms I have been a part of in the past year. It almost seems as though He has put me in a place to experience hardships on the sidelines, while my friends and family are the real ones going thru the "faith-testing trials."
What does that mean for me? That there is some trial awaiting me that He is preparing me for? OR...that He has gifted me with a spirit of comfort and is placing me in the lives of those people for a reason...I choose to focus on the latter. Needless to say I MUST be fully relying on God for wisdom each time I encounter a friend in need.

I guess my reason for saying all that, is that I hurt for my friends and family. BUT praise God for the way it changes our relationship, as well as, the way I can see Him working in their lives.
AND...Even as I type, I am getting encouragement seeing MY GOD being ever faithful to those who put their trust in Him.

Each day we must allow God to REIGN over each thought, decision, and situation.

Currently, my husband and I are in limbo when it comes to the direction the Lord wants us to go. We LOVE Georgetown, but there are a lot of items that are in the "air" or more appropriately in God's hands, that may cause us to move further north.
BUT, to describe where our lives are...the word would be FULL. Full of Love, Full of Possibilities, Full of Hope and FULL OF GOD's Provision.

I hope this is a good intro to my blogging career.

Enjoy the rain, and I'll see you later.
