Last night, over dinner, a really good friend of mine gave me a travel coffee mug she had bought from a local coffee shop for me. It was the perfect ending to an afternoon of shopping for summer clothes, a gardening hat, a bathing suit and new Nike high tops :) And then i came home to my own room in an apartment i share with 2 other lovely girls. A room with my own pictures hanging on the wall, freshly cut roses from David's garden, a big dresser, a nightstand, a walk-in closet, brand new sheets and pillows and a bunch of other good stuff. I have been living in a state of overwhelm for the last month or two. I woke up today realizing Heaven's doors had opened and poured out an abundance of blessings on my life. Only GOD can bring abundance like this. Only HE can hear you say in your mind "I wish i had a gardening hat," and then bring it to you. Only the Lord can answer your prayers for opportunities to serve and then pluck you out of your motherland and plant you somewhere seemingly random...like Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Only the Father can teach you how to love. Only HE can make "experiences" happen. Only GOD can make paths cross. Only Jesus can surround you with his own followers to walk with, grow with, eat grilled pineapples, paint walls, teach Sunday school, sing in the kitchen, pray, laugh and have meaningful conversations with.
Only the Lord our God can do all of that. Only the Lord, our GOD.
