Unexpected Blessings

HOLY MOLY! God is so amazing. I love it when you get blessings from Him that you completely don’t expect. I had been praying, but not necessarily for this specific thing. I had been praying more general prayers and had honestly slacked off this past week with those prayers. I went to church on Saturday night for the Easter service and was just planning on going back on Sunday to see people and then just go get some homework done. It was going to be a Sunday like any other. First off though, the service Saturday night was actually really good which I haven’t felt a long time while I was at home. I had the blessing of seeing a lot of friends that I don’t normally get to see and just had some really encouraging conversations with people. Sunday started just like any other Sunday except this one began with a headache and an iffy stomach. A couple texts from a friend completely turned my day upside down… in a good way! The best part was that they were completely unexpected but a blatant answer to prayer. Instead of seeing a lot of friends and getting homework done, I got the chance to hang out with an old friend and talk of life and our struggles, our victories and our battles, where we had been and where we were at. I got to delve into the word and just get excited about what God was teaching both of us. This complete surprise blessing from God swept me off of my feet and left me more in awe than before. Our God is so amazing! My Abba rocks my world! He has gotten me through some tough times this year and I am forever thankful! He has a bigger plan that he chooses to reveal to me in only snippets which is aggravating sometimes as I look back and wonder why I had to go through all of that to get to this place. But I like this place. I love falling in love with God all over again. I am content with where I am at but ever so eager to move forward into a deeper place with my Abba. I cannot wait to see where he leads this next month and then on into the summer. It has been a week filled with unexpected blessings and surprises and I am just here to say that our God has RISEN. He has conquered the grave and He is my Savior! I am here to live for Him and follow Him wherever He may lead! The future is uncertain but I am ready for the journey.
