I have another SPRING READ for those of you looking for a great book for these beautiful sunny afternoons.
I read this book last weekend all in one day!! I LOVED it so much!! Little did I know that God was preparing me for the week ahead in a tiny but significant way.
Last week, I thought if I had to pull up my big girl panties one more time I was going to SCREAM!!! Instead I spent most of the week in tears and at some points just let go and "balled my eyes out"!
Friday morning on the way to Sylacauga, tears rolling down my face, I thought of something Angie said in this book. Even through her trial, all her emotions and her brokenness she said......"My God hasn't changed"!
How comforting, secure, big and gracious our God is. He really doesn't ever change. No matter how awful our circumstances or how sad, angry and broken we are....HE DOESN'T CHANGE.
I am learning that no matter what happens or how my crazy world spins out of control........MY GOD HASN'T CHANGED!!
That doesn't change my situation or the circumstance I am facing....they still are crazy and sometimes shake me to the core of my being but the one and only thing that gets me up in the morning and puts a smile on my face is GOD.
I pray that if any of you are going through brokenness or sadness or if your world is spinning out of control that you will know that one thing that will never change is God. He is there. Take hold of Him and His Word. He might not choose to change you situation but He will change you!
After my bad week, I spent the weekend in Birmingham listening to amazing praise and worship music lead by Kerrie Roberts......listen to my favorite new song below!!!
I am clinging to these lyrics.....
"I’m running back to your promises one more time, Lord that’s all I can hold on to, I gotta say this has taken me by surprise, but nothing surprises you. Before a heartache can ever touch my life, it has to go through Your hands, and even though I, keep asking why, I keep asking why,
No matter what, I’m gonna love You, no matter what I’m gonna need You, I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain but if not,if not, I’ll trust you........"
