Blessed.

Yesterday afternoon I had a haircut appointment with my aunt, long overdue mind you.  Anyway, I hadn't seen her since the beginning of the summer so, I was excited to see her and tell her everything new that's been going on in my life.  My haircut was over around three and I left there around 4:15.  Needless to say it was a very refreshing and needed talk on both ends. 


I am so in love with how quickly and how much God is revealing Himself to me.  It's blowing me away how a couple of weeks ago I was so completely lost and in the dark and now I feel like I've finally found my way back and I'm sprinting back into the light and not looking back.  I love it.  I feel like a completely different person, or rather I feel more like who I really am.  It's so amazing. I received a comment on my last post and it was from April and Jackie's sister, whom I've never even met, saying that she was continuing to pray for me.  So freaking amazing. I don't even know what to say except that I am so incredibly blessed beyond belief.  This is beyond anything I was expecting.  He has definitely answered my prayers.  A year and a half waiting and He blew me away.  


If you are going through anything at all and are waiting on God, just remember that time does not exist with Him.  Remember that He has said He'll take care of you and He will not abandon you no matter what the situation, even if you are running away from Him. He's still right there next you making sure you always have an escape route.  I was reading lyrics to a new Snow Patrol song yesterday and there was a part that just really hit home and it said, "Just take the hand that's offered and hold on tight.  This isn't everything you are.  There's joy not far from here, I know I'm right."  It's so true.  If you will just take the hand that's offered, there is an unspeakable joy not far to follow. Trust me!




And just a little side note....one of my friends and I bought some retractable vampire fangs last night. So much joy came from that, too. Loves it!


Where I Belong - Cory Asbury


Your presence is all I'm longing for here in the secret place
Your nearness is all I'm waiting for here in the quiet place
Here in the secret place

My soul waits for you alone
Just like the watchmen wait for dawn
Here I've finally found the place
Where we'll meet, Lord, face to face

I've finally found where I belong
I've finally found where I belong, in your presence
I've finally found where I belong, Lord
To be with you, to be with you

I am my Beloved's and He is mine
So come into your garden and take delight in me
Take delight in me

Delight in me, delight in me
Delight in me, delight in me

Here in Your presence, God, I find my rest
Here in Your presence, God
