oh hai God

Service was... epic today. I can't really describe what happened, but I haven't felt God's presence like that in a long time. And it wasn't even service really, it was after service when everyone stuck around and decided to just worship a little longer. 

Literally what had been a crappy last night and a morning that was starting out pretty crappy too (not that any one had done anything, it's just been me feeling crappy), God surprised me and did a little switcheroo when I wasn't expecting it, at all. 

Everything that was said and spoken to me was confirmation of exactly everything that has been going on right now. Everything. And it was confirmation that everything that has been going won't be in vain.. even though it feels like it. God's hand is in the mix, he knows what he's doing, and he's got a plan. 

Perfect timing, really. 

I've been so frustrated this past week. SO frustrated. 

Not with just one thing either. Everything.

I forgot. I forgot who God was. 

I forgot that He can change any situation and make it good. 

I forgot that even when I feel like I'm in the darkness, that is where He is made light.

I forgot that his burden is easy, and his yolk is light.

I forgot that he knows me by name.

I forgot that he's always been there, even when I haven't been.

And to be more specific, cause I was kind of vague up there,

I received a text from a completely random person  (zuriel jessica! raaandom) telling me something they thought I needed to hear, someone I didn't know came up to me and told me they had a word for me, and everything the come&live! guys spoke they thought God was speaking/doing/situation our church is in right now was right on key. They even spoke about someone that had left the church hurt/something had been broken, and that we needed to find them and apologize and fix things. Needless to say, I cried. A lot. I mean, right!?! ohsigh.. God, you're good. And I need to quit grumbling.. because You're good.

That is all.. kind of. 

This is just the beginning. 

and not to be completely off topic, but I think I might start watching fringe. I hear it's addicting. In fact, I might start having a fringe night every week at my house myself.. my tv might not be large enough though. THATS RIGHT. hahaaaa

Love,
