prayers heard and answered...

Today was a good day. A very good day indeed. So i went to my home church today. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal but this is the church my ex boyfriend goes... or went... and so does his family. i was so nervous because i haven't seen him or his family in a year and i just got a text from him a few days ago saying that he doesn't hate me and that he is doing well and how he hopes i am too. to be honest it was an answered prayer because i was worried about him. i wasn't sure if he was still going to a church or even still following God. I prayed that God would let me know and 2 months later guess what... i got my answer! even if it was in a way that i had anticipated. but God does HIS will not mine. and that is what makes Him amazing. Anyway i was nervous so i sat in the parking lot for about 10 minutes reading my bible and listening to Barlow Girl's latest album. (which is AWESOME by the way) I was letting God calm me down and it was working. it was like as soon as i started reading, my heart stopped beating as fast. My mind stopped racing and i could breath. i was reading again out of Philippians 4:6-7.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God , which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (NASB)

hallelujah.

He wasn't there. My ex nor his family were at church. Part of me is relieved that it wasn't in Gods plan to have me see them today but the other part of me is like "Yall need to be at church!" This gave me a chance to really see Trinity for what it is. I had never looked at it as a house of God. Honestly. I had never looked at it as that. I thought of it as place where i could see my friends and my boyfriend. But it really is a great place. And it helped that i kind of had a couple of "bodyguards". Two of my friends Tommy and Marcus were sitting on either side of me so i was good!! They are two of my best guys friends and i felt completely protected. just me Jesus and Tommy and Marcus. Nice.

so all in all it was a good good day. the pastor talked about honoring you mother and father. It was on Proverbs 1:8 which says...

"Hear, my son, your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching;"

it was an awesome sermon. kudos to pastor rob! and to JESUS!

I am getting commissioned next Sunday! I was nervous but now I am so excited!! so that will be awesome!

hmmmm... i forgot what else i was going to say. anyway....
