Annabelle

 

Today was a day where i just want to sit in the LORD’s presence all day long. and the great thing is..that I am able to.

Tonight after church, i went and got myself dinner (Mcdonalds) and the sun was starting to set so Ive been in this reflective mode, so I decided to sit outside on the front steps and watch the sky and eat and listen to my favorite musician, and of course watch my spastic kitten run around. and whilst all of these things, I was watching little miss annabelle (the kitten) climb a tree near me, and I just had to be so so grateful for her. and I’ve been telling people this, because its just so true i’m realizing, but I truly believe that she is a gift to me from my Heavenly Father. For someone who has never liked cats…I now have become a decent cat lover because of her.
If i would have not had her this summer to talk to (yes, i talk to her), to take care of her, to cuddle with her, to laugh at her, to get annoyed with her (very often) I would have been extremely lonely. It was a different/weird/rough summer in the first place, but I really believe that without her, it could have been worse. She helped keep me sane and most importantly, make me laugh- which is a necessity in my life.

It’s funny how God works in our lives, and how He provides. I love it. Jehovah Jireh.

Bless The LORD, O my soul.

 

I love that throughout the Bible, often, okay, a lot, you find these themes. Themes that go on through the whole Old and New testaments. One reason why I can believe the Bible to be truth!

So ive been reading the psalms and have noticed that it often talks about remembering of old, and telling from generation to genereation what God has done for the Israelites. and Psalm 119 talks a lot about telling the testimonies of God! and its so reflective in our own lives…

when we have our break downs, our hard times, our trials and even our great times in our lives…we need to REMEMBER who God is, and what He has done and TELL of who He is and all He has done and through that, we BLESS Him and others and our focus gets placed where it should be, on Christ!

This is so key to every believer. to remember, and to tell, and to bless whenever we are struggling and whenever we are thrilled!
