Promises made, promises fulfilled

Where do I begin. Promises are good. Where we put time constraints on those things we promise I have realized that the Lord really doesn't say things with a time limit. By time limit I mean a date, a season or what ever else we may say "when such and such happens" or "when you do this by this time then I promise this will happen". It really shows the Lord means business, especially when He tells us to make our yes mean yes and our no mean no.

I really feel like I am entering a season of promises being fulfilled in my life. He has been reminding me promises He has given me in so many areas of my life, some have been forgotten, some ever present before me. Because of His faithfulness I am able to see the light at the end of this tunnel of waiting to see these promises fulfilled. I want what God has for me and I am not about to try and push the date or time of when I think it should all happen, that's when Ismaels are born and I want the Isaacs.

I think my biggest encouragement is to wait and trust. God knows the times and seasons of our lives. He knows what is best for us at all times.

Earbuds and Gratefulness

Have you ever gone through a season with the Lord where you just weren't sure what He is wanting you to learn from it? I am in the midst of this. So much is happening and I can't really put my finger on it but at this very moment I know that it is very good.

Now, what does earbuds have to do with this. Not sure how open I have been about this but this has been a year of seeing my God provide right in time for my finances. But in the midst of that I have had moments where I am having needs arise but so far He has been so faithful. He is faithful. Just tonight I was plugging in my earbuds and somehow I had pulled the wires a little too far this time. You see, the past few months my earbuds have slowly been damaged at the connecting point of the plug. Each time I have pulled it a little further I would say, "Oh, yeah, I need new earbuds but I don't have the funds for new ones. Thank you Lord for some new earbuds." This has been happening off and on for the past few months. So, back to tonight, like I said I really tore them where now they are damaged. So, I said to my roommate, "Now I really need some earbuds." She said to me, "Oh, well there are some on the floor here. Are they yours?" "No, not mine." She then mentioned, "They have just been on the floor for a few days now." The key thing in this is it is just me and her in our room, the room had been cleaned before she arrived and I had not seen these earbuds anytime before her arrival. For me, my heavenly Father has once again heard my need and has provided. Thank You, Abba!

I am so grateful for all He is doing in my life. Even though I don't know fully what He is taking me through I know that it is good because He is very good.
