It has been a while since I wrote friends and I would like to take the time to do so! I know many of you have read my updates through news letters and e-mails but I just want to take time to write what God has been teaching me lately! One of the things God has been really pressing in lately is He is God! And it's not that I don't know He's God but to many times my brain gets on a fast track of the " What if's?" I forget I am not meant to know it all. None of us were created that way and if we were we would miss the adventure!
We were created to just be present but sometimes to be honest that is a hard concept. I find myself wondering a lot when I don't need to. In fact this week a little friend of mine name Sophia was reminding me of how much were called to just be grateful! I had ended up having some sweet time with her Thursday night and as we were going through the toys , to dinner to cookies all the way up to bath time she kept singing " Thank You April, Thank You Mommy, Thank You Daddy etc" And it made my heart stop and realize if I will just remember to say thank you that my heart will find the joy it needs in the unknown.
This one is especially needed this week because I haven't known what my days would be like since I have been waiting on water and heat in my apartment which has been hard to be honest because I found myself asking so many questions to up simple things like a place of rest. However, God proved to me this week that He knew what He was doing! He gave me some time with the Tubbs, allowed me to enjoy company with my friend Caitlin with yummy middle eastern bread, gave me a retreat a friends house up till Sunday and that has made all the difference!
However,I'll be real this is still hard because I am still waiting for my water at my apartment but it is in this moment I am pressed that I have to keep saying thank you like my friend Sophia who is 3! We can't keep telling children to say thank you if we forget to tell our Creator!
And that my friends is hard because I know that the things I face each day are only temporary but My God is eternal!
I am so learning to have to claim that because if I don't my mind and heart will explode! I'm telling you God has to be my glue! And this is soo important because He gets everything that we don't get! He even gets us when we feel like no one does! For that I am forever thankful today because my heart is too tired to explain all. I have so much I feel or I want to say but I can only live one day at a time!
And I have to trust Him to be the great interpreter of not just this week but my life with all it's visions! So, I am learning to lay them down because I am not God! He is ! Oh praise Him because He is! I write this with a heart saying Lord help me surrender my days!
