So obviously lately some really awesome things have been going on in my life, and just to add to it I have another story.
This past July most of you know that the final Harry Potter installment was released. Some of my friends and I went to wait in line for the midnight showing Thursday night around noon on Tuesday. Most of the day we just got made fun of, which we are used to. It comes with the territory of waiting over sixty hours for a movie release. Later that evening though, a mom and daughter drove up and asked if we were in line for HP and after we said yes they turned around and parked and came back to wait in line. After waiting in line for a while introductions were made; April, the mother, and Madison, the daughter. The next day April's sister Jackie and her son showed up to wait in line with all of us as well. Over the next couple days we all felt like great friends considering the fact that we had spent the last sixty hours together. It definitely brings you closer! We are all Facebook friends and have been keeping up with each other, and actually, plan on getting together at Wehrenberg again for the Breaking Dawn movies.
Last week, after I posted my "Ezekiel 37" blog I received a Facebook message from Jackie letting me know that she read my blog and that she will be continuing to pray for me and my relationship, or lack there of, with God. Which means the world to me, because I didn't think anyone actually would read what I have to say. These blogs are more therapy for me than anything. Then, yesterday after I posted my "An Answer." blog, April messaged me on Facebook to let me know that she and Jackie have been continuing to pray for me and that she is so excited things are coming together finally. I am completely taken aback by this. I met these two women at a Harry Potter release and hardly know them, but they are taking time out of their lives to pray for me, someone who they've only spent three days with. God works in the weirdest ways.
This is also a way God is showing me he didn't abandon me. He was there this summer. There was another reason I waited sixty hours for a movie, other than the fact that I was so excited for the conclusion of Harry Potter. Everyday I am beginning to see that I wasn't abandoned, I was just shoving Him away because I was pissed off at everything that was going on in my life. He was patiently waiting for me to finish throwing my fit, all the while He was watching over me and loving me in ways I would not have thought possible.
I don't know you Eden, but I too shall pray for you.......Okay, I prayed :). I thanked God for allowing me to see just how much he loves us and how he is in every little part of our lives and how much he will use us (even in line for HP) if we allow Him to. I have two sisters who do just that and I thank God for Jackie and April every single day. I will continue to pray for you.
ReplyDeleteMay I just say, in shame, that I have yet to see the final HP movie.
