This was a message from a friend, Lisa, yesterday. I met her in Starbucks years ago when they strangely told me I had to wait to get my coffee. Then the next thing I knew, Lisa showed up waiting in line behind me. This was definitely one of those God planned meetings. She wanted the exact drink I wanted and as I offered to pay for hers she said, “I wanted to pay for you.” I paid for hers and she then offered to pay for the person behind her!
But this is not a post about kindness today. When I saw Lisa again in Starbucks she complained that her life was hectic and she told me about some other personal issues going on with her. I asked her if I could get her a copy of my meditation book, Jesus Calling, and I rushed to the book section of Target to get a copy for her and I encouraged her to have appointments/alone times with God.
Yesterday I started thinking about her and I sent her an email to say hi. Apparently she’d forgotten all about that book! But no love lost, my Lisa! I get it that life can be so full that we get so distracted from the most important thing – a relationship with God. I plead with you, my peeps, don’t miss out on the most important conversation with your Creator and Father.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
God’s plans for our lives are real good! But how do we tap into those plans if we let TV, the internet and busy schedules distract us from discussing them with Him?
You’ve heard all my stories of how God has changed every aspect of my life through my appointments with Him. Everything seems to just get better and better every day with Him. The lessons He’s teaching me are off the chain like how to be a better wife, mother and person. I wake up excited every day to see what He has in store for me. And even the bad days turn out to be good days because there are always lots of lessons in them to take me to higher and higher levels of peace, joy and happiness.
I have several meditation books that I usually read and just yesterday alone, I picked up two important lessons in my alone time with Him– being more merciful and laughing more.
Don’t miss out, take some time every day to seek God and as you seek Him you’ll find Him and I promise you, your life will never be the same again.
KEEP CALM, YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
