I am Yours!


So often, it's easy to look at things and remember them differently or get discouraged about how things have turned out. Sometimes it can be over something silly, sometimes something life changing. I thank God for His faithfulness and for His hand on my life.

One story that keeps me in check, keeps me knowing that God has me where he wants me and will make a way, is the story about how I bought my house. Now, I know some might think that that's silly, but our God love us and cares for us in ALL things, big and small, and this is an absolute God situation. I was looking for a house and nothing was in my price range. This was when the market was WAY over inflated ( although I didn't know that) and finally a house came available that my friend was looking at, but decided to pass on, so she told me about it. I went and looked at it, and it was the cutest house I had ever seen, and better yet...I could afford it. She was asking a certain amount, but it needed some work, so I was going to go low on the offer and then a number popped out of my mouth that was much higher that I thought I wanted to offer. I wasl ike why did I just say that number!?!?!?! She looked at me and said, I asked God that whoever was to buy my house would be sent by him and they would offer the exact amount that you just did, so I know that God wants you to buy this house from me. Wow! I was blown away! So now, 5  years later, when I get discouraged about my house and how it's valued at half of what I bought it for, and I think of all the work it needs, I can recall that moment and know that I am blessed to have a house and that God had me there for that time, for this season and that my God is still alive, still working and He cares for me in all things!

I pray that everyone has a blessed day! Remember, you're not alone and God cares for all things that you are dealing with...big and small!
