"Something altogether great and amazing must be waiting on the other side of this mountain... otherwise, the journey wouldn't be so hard." (From Redemption) by Karen Kingsbury
Today I wanted my blog post to be about the book and movie Heaven Is for Real, but God had other plans. As I sat outside with blue stained fingers listening to worship music is when I was finally quite enough to listen to Him.
Today started out as a huge mountain that I had to climb. I had a family problem right when I woke up. Thankfully it wasn't as serious as everyone thought and everyone is okay! Next it was buying a new lawnmower and getting things to make a high school graduation gift (hence the blue stained fingers.) While getting things that were needed my mom and I ran into an old friend.
Now at this moment is where climbing this mountain got extremely difficult. I had so many emotions running through me that I went numb. The one thought that continuously running through my head was "show the light of Jesus. He is here with me." So after talking for awhile Moma and I left and when I got in the car the emotions finally started hitting me like bullets. Needless to say I cried and I was angry. When we got home I threw myself into working on the graduation gift.
So, as I was waiting for the paint to dry I sat outside and listened to worship music. I had it on shuffle and as I started crying again "Press On" by Mandisa came on followed by "Listen to the Sound" by Building 429. I closed my eyes and just worshiped. As I was doing this the sun broke through the clouds to shine on my face and a small and gentle wind picked up. It felt like God Himself was beside me gently wiping away my tears.
I happened to look down and laying at my feet was the picture above. Two sticks in the shape of a heart! I knew this was God telling me "My Child I know you are hurting, but I AM right here holding you and I have this planned out." Then, as if that wasn't strong enough, "My Desire" by Jeremy Camp came on and my tears turned to happy ones!
As I sat down to write about God comforting me tonight; I noticed my Karen Kingsbury quote book and today's quote fit perfectly! Just another way God was telling me He is here with me! I turned on Spotify and "Proof of Your Love" by For King & Country was playing and then "Busted Heart" by them came on and I know God has this planned and soon the pain will heal for something so much better!!
