#god lessons

Sometimes, life teaches us valuable lessons when we least suspect it. It’s amazing how a little change in perspective can change you from possessing an attitude of stress and anxiety to one of thankfulness and gratitude. Such was the unsuspecting incident that taught me this lesson while driving to work one early morning. The event It was one of the busiest, most difficult seasons of my life.…

God Lesson Thru Action

So last nite I went to ladies class at The Freedom Center Church and for all my Spiritual Fam and Friends that go to that church! Well I don’t know if many of yall saw what happened BUT  God showed me something that nite ! Now the high high heels that I normally don’t wear but thought they were cute and I thought I could last the nite in them but I was soo wrong so after I got out of my car…

ok onto kc & her magical dreams!

sorry guys, this is gonna be long

i think dreams can definitely be a way that God is communicating with us. and possibly trying to show us something. prayer is definitely what i would deem a ‘correct’ response haha. keep us posted. most of my dreams aren’t quite… prophetic, more like just funny or entertaining. or… a way to escape, i suppose. sometimes.

last night, i had a dream about solving murders. in my dream i knew they were fake so it wasn’t scary, but there were a bunch of ‘contestants’ in my dream and we were all racing to solve the murder and i sort of teamed up w/ this other girl in my dream. and in a weird way i felt extremely close to that person. i felt like i knew her in real life. and that she really knew me well. but i think definitely that’s my subconscious because i KNOW that’s a huge desire for me right now. which is part of what i was going to write about. but keep praying about those dreams kace :)

i hope that this proves to be somewhat helpful, even/especially if no one actually reads it.

something that was laid on my heart today was the idea of obedience. or the principle. 

this morning a friend i don’t know super well was on my heart. and i just felt like i should ask her to go for a coffee. and as you both know, i’ve been struggling w/ relationships—friendships, mind you— so much lately. which basically boils down to piercing loneliness. and it’s not like i was afraid of being rejected by her, but for some reason i did not initiate that conversation. this is such a cool story because it is literally unfolding at this moment.

fast forward all of like 10 minutes, and she posts that she just found out something not so good. almost immediately, i felt disappointed in myself. i realized that i missed an important opportunity to be obedient to God’s small voice. and he didn’t even give me a difficult request. this was such a simple task. not even a task, this is potentially something so good that God could be trying to lay in front of my face. and it’s so typical of us to disobey when he’s got something good for us (think israelites-40 years wasted because of disobedience).

now fast forward the rest of the day, i was thinking about her and her news all day. still feeling disappointed in myself. but God is so good, that he still provides more opportunities even though we’re such weak sinners. i ended up striking up that conversation tonight and we are going out for tea hopefully next week. more than that, we have a lot in common with our walks in life right now. God is so good. he proves himself over and over again. why is it that we can’t just learn to trust him the first time? it’s a rhetorical question. but i’m ashamed by this and yet spurred on to try to be more obedient. God blesses the obedient. idk if that’s preachy for you guys, but this is kinda how i journal when i actually do.

Hey Shay-

I was reading your post and I remembered some of the conversations we’ve had in the past, about you having such a strong desire for that best friend/soul sistah kind of connection. Keep hanging in there, hun! She’s out there and when you guys meet you’ll just know! It’s kind of like seeing yourself reflected clearly in a mirror- u can see in that person the same “sameness" for lack of a better word. And it just clicks! That’s the important part =) the clicking, and I swear I know it sounds crazy but sometimes you hear that actual sound! You know, a “click" =p aaand now I really do sound nuts. But anyway, I really appreciate your honesty! A lot of people don’t know this about me, maybe because I come across as too independent for my own good, but I have had moments in my life where I felt so abjectly alone that I couldn’t handle it. But you know what? The moment always passes. And I think that’s a real blessing that God has given us. He is so wise and above us in all things, and so often we forget that because we’re so caught up in the immediacy of life, and of now, but in His amazing providence He allows things to pass. Loneliness, friendlessness, being misunderstood, it all passes. Whether in this life or the next all our desires founded on Him become fulfilled. Sorry, Shay, long response to your long post ;) but I truly look forward to the day when you meet your sistah from another mistah! It shall be magical, as KC likes to say!

-H-

God is soooo good. He gives us these opportunities to take. And even in your fear, you gave into it. That’s awesome and encouraging.  I believe God knows our hearts so well that He’d keep providing and keep giving us these chances knowing whether or not (cause He knows) we will obey/listen and take them. How He loves us so.

I’ll keep your tea meeting in prayer. :)

ok it's someone else's turn now... or as kace would say... meow.

Have you ever dropped a bomb

And it didn't explode

And you wondered why the fuse didn't go?

So you picked it up

And it went off in your hand

That's God telling you

Don't preach to them
