Blah. That was yesterday in a nutshell. A horrible day.
I think it was a build up of different things that came to a head.
And, as always, God was so present in my terrible day.
I did an interview for the coming YWAM Magazine. My interviewee is an amazingly humble woman; simple and deep. I like that sort of person. God was all over her side comments. It was when she went off topic that I learnt so much. At the end, she apologised for rambling and I told her that the rambles were for my benefit. I needed the reminders.
I was wondering why my desire to dress up and get pretty has diminished and I realised that it is directly linked to where I am with finances. I haven't received personal support for a few months and I've been surviving by the skin of my teeth. It's quite a ride.
Last night I was supremely blessed by an amazing friend. I had to pop by her house after a wedding practice for my friend's wedding this coming weekend and she ended up LOADING me with beauty products and samples. And snacks. All topped off with a glass of wine.
I think it was just what the doctor ordered.
Yesterday, Joel was telling me something. He'd made an error at work, and measures needed to be taken to right the situation. Another guy stepped in to 'pay the price' for Joel. And immediately, I thought about grace. Isn't that what grace is? Someone else paying for me?
Back to the interviewee, she also spoke about grace. She defines grace as: God's Riches At Christ's Expense...
And THEN I was reminded of my own Facebook Status a couple of weeks ago:
God is not obligated to bless me. I am obligated to bless God...
So I thank God that he is God, big enough and good enough, even on my awful days...
