Strange Day

God has hit me in numerous ways today...at the angle of "This, too, shall pass" and "Be Positive". I feel I've been VERY blessed today, when I could have easily had a rather poor/discouraging day.
I know its been a super long time since I've posted anything on here and it seems as though, I could make the excuse of "no time"...but well, if you know anything about what is or has gone in my life the last month, well you know I can't say that...I've got nothing BUT time these days! :)

Today I was blessed to really have a great talk and day just reflecting LIFE with GOD. And He made me do it! :)

The day started out not so great...a few things going wrong...well one just being bored and wondering, hm...what should I do today. And then getting the mail only to realize some discouraging news. For a brief moment it made me feel very incapable and like I didn't matter. But soon God took a hold of me and had a great friend call me, that helped me see things that God was trying to say to me all along.
Then, something very important that I need isn't work and I immediately tense up and start to freak...only to have God impress feelings on me of "it'll get fixed, let it go"...so I did.
Then I kept trying to get motivated to as to what I was suppose to do with today. Anything I tried to just wasn't working for me. So finally, I looked at my sweet puppy dog and looked outside (let me remind you, it's 40 degrees and slightly snowing and wet) and say "ah, this will be fun". And I grab my dog and get on some running clothes and shoes and GO.

It was what God wanted me to do be doing along today, at least that is what I think. :) Whenever I go for walks/runs with or without my puppy dog, I use that time as time to be with God, just Him and I, thanking Him for what He is doing in my life, friends lives, family. And I use it for those times to cry out to Him. And that is what I did and needed. I needed my one and one time with God, and He knew it. :) Don't ya love it.
I've been struggling lately with just this new place in life He has me. And wondering when the next part will happen. I'm so glad and so happy with where God has brought us (my family). Now I just wonder when things will happen for me, again. So I cried out to Him...and I just felt Him saying...look where you are, look at what you are doing...this is where I want you...will you Trust me?
I got back from one of the most beautiful, enjoyable runs of my life. I was running in a beautiful snowfall (without it sticking to the ground). I was wet...and loving the beauty around me. As I returned I thought to turn on the TV and go to the computer to go to the Internet. But I stopped and just was like, no I need silence... so I picked up my devotional a dear friend gave me just before we moved. And I love it when this happens, how when just that day, it seems it was meant just for you, and that is what it was...
"This, Too, Shall Pass" was the title...
It talked about how things in life are temporary, everything in life is temporary...so no matter what you are going through...it will pass and God will direct you a new way, in His time. He was telling me that I need to trust Him and realize that this is temporary and in His time, He will direct me where He wants me. Until then, I need to enjoy where He has me NOW....with this waiting, I need rest in Him and enjoy it! So that is what I will do....TRUST Him that this time will pass, but I will enjoy this time.
Then I was reading one of my books and it talked about negativity and having a positive outlook in your life. I just have to laugh, because I easily could be making this entire thing so negative...but I choose NOT to be negative and have God just deliver me from this...and I thank God that I am becoming a positive person and not becoming negative through this.
I pray to God that I will continue to let my heart realize where He has me right now and that I just learn to let go and Trust and wait on Him, truly. God you have shown me so much in this beautiful wet day that I am so blessed by. Thank you. Please continue to show me daily what it is to Trust You and Honor You and let you take control. Please help me to stay positive and to enjoy this time in my life that you have me in.
Thank You Jesus for this time in my life...
