Saturday Hugs!!
Sending out hugs on this awesome Saturday morning. It is going to be a beautiful day today!!! I am going to class and then to Trussville to see my momma. You all do something special for yourselves today. Get out and enjoy the beauty that God has given us. Love y'all!!! In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. (Psalm 5:3)
My time for just me and the Lord is early morning. I love the quiet and stillness. For many years, I had a very hard time doing what this verse says. I would lay my requests before Him, but I did not wait in expectation. I wanted an answer and I wanted it right that minute. If God did not answer me when I thought He should, then I would take it upon myself to handle the situation, which took it completely out of God's hands. Then I would go back later after I had made a mess of things and ask God why He did not do what I asked Him to. One day, I realized that He did not need my help and that if I would leave the requests at the altar, He would handle the situation at the perfect time and in the perfect way. I still have much to clean out, but "little by little" God is changing my life. I love looking back over time and seeing the changes that He has made. I have learned to trust in Him and to trust in His way of doing things. See, I always told people that I trusted Him. However, I was lying. I trusted Him to a point, but when He did not do as I wanted, the trust stopped. At that point, I trusted in Carmen, which was a bad choice. We need to sometimes remember the words to an old song: "trust and obey, for there's no other way, to live happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey".
