Ready to write even though blogging feels incredibly cheesy.
Ready to write even though I am going to have to supernaturally stop the clock to make it happen.
Ready to write because the creative melodies are humming their sweet little way up my heart. Ready to write because I serve the most gracious, loving, compassionate, beautiful, magnificent, marvelous, Holy, gentle, mighty, sovereign God that anyone can ever know. I have no choice but to boast in Him, even if it's though a little blog. I have pledged my life to give Him glory- so my little blog...here you go!!!! Go bring Him glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This past November, I was sitting in the San Francisco airport waiting to board a plane to Hong Kong. As any good little homeschooler would, I was journaling. And the Lord kept telling, "You can trust me. You can trust me. You can trust me." And I wrote, I trust you that You have every solution before any of my problems begin. My heart was flooded with peace and then I boarded the plane.
About 3 minutes after I boarded, a particular situation arose on the plane. It was a beast and significant and directly involved my team & I. Due to the lively nature of what happened and protection issues, I cannot divulge the details so publicly on the Internet. But I can whisper you this: that the Lord so ever sovereignly handled..and fixed it..so beautifully and perfectly in two minutes. If I had spent two weeks trying to figure out how to properly handle the situation my plan would fail miserable to to His divine intervention in that moment.
All was well after we took off so I started wiggling to the beat of my music. Of course, I couldn't sit still so I stood up in the aisle and pretended to stretch (I was truly lifting my hands to..Praise Him!!!!!) The cabin lights were dark and the lyrics that rolled into my ears were, "Your goodness found me in the darkness!!!!" I nearly fell over in awe. Thinking back to the little dramatic episodes several hours earlier. I didn't have to stop in the middle of it and say, "Okay now Jesus...I decided right now to trust you and to pick you. I could pick the devil...but I choose you. I pick what you want..I pick to let you have control of the situation"..No No No No No. It was nothing like that. He just ambushed us with His goodness and glory. There was no room for me at all. He was sovereign and just simply did Holy thing. I didn't go looking for Him to intervene. He found me. He delivered me from the situation without my approval. So there I was standing in the dark aisle of the plane, ambushed by the goodness of God and speechless as I realized how much I can trust my Jesus.
That precious little moment popped my eyes open to the sweetest of trusting Jesus. It made me become so aware of how the Lord so sweetly paves our lives with His sovereign grace. I trust you, Jesus. I trust you, Jesus. I trust you, Jesus has not stopped playing over and over in my heart since. He finds us, delivers us, saves us and redeems us from every snare before we can even cry for help. He overrides my plans and will for that divine rescue--There is so much glory on that!!!!!!!!
And how I could write a million books about the endless ways He has proved Himself faithful since that epic moment on the plane to Hong Kong. He always was before, and always will be...Ohh Jesus!!!!!!!! I trust you!!!!!!!!
Cheers & Love!!!!
P.S. A thought just sprang into my head. The best thing about God sovereignly handling situations with His perfect will and goodness is that He gets all the glory. I can't sit here and boast about how I picked Him over picking darkness. And then give myself a little pat on the back for being such a Godly Christian because I did something. No. No. No. No. I can only boast in the Cross!!!!!!!!!! And what God has accomplished for me.
"But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ...Galatians 6:14"
