It's a new season.
Autumn is finally setting in & it's a new season in my life, too.
Things are changing, for the better.
I've surrendered things to God that I've been holding onto, without realizing that I was hanging onto them.

"For I know the plans I have for you' says the Lord, 'plans that are good and not for disaster, and that give you a future and a hope." -Jeremiah 29:11

We all know this verse. I've read over it too many times and have yet to take the time to really disect it.
Then I woke up with that on my heart this morning.

"Your goodness is forever. Your mercy is forever." is ringing out right now on my Pandora. It's a Kari Jobe song.

God has already told me this week that HE has in store for me, what HE knows is "my best" for me.
& because He knows the plans for me, He has already set me up to win & to be successful. He will never intentionally set me up for disaster but instead, will pull me out of it (all thanks to my free will decisions) and will set me up on the highest rock to give me a future and a hope.

Hope. Sometimes, that's all us humans need. Hope that there is something more. Hope that it can get better. Hope that we are taken care of. & God is granting us that everyday. He's legit.

So, let's take a journey now into my day yesterday.....
A specific verse was brought to my attention 5 different times yesterday:

"Delight yourself in the Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart."

-Psalm 37:4



The first time it was sent to me was by a friend, Tara. I told her "Oh man, I needed to read this, thank you so much."

So I began forwarding it to a friend, Wendy, when she, at the exact same time, sent it to me. God is good.

Then, I went onto a website full of encouraging verses, and I bet you can't guess what the verse of the day was.

Driving home, I put my iTouch on shuffle and a song came on singing the words of the verse.

Lastly, my best friend sent me something on facebook February of 2010 (right around Valentines Day) when I was struggling in my relationship, and it was about "allowing God to set you up with your companion for marriage, etc" & I printed & posted this on a billboard in my room. Well, cleaning my car out, I noticed some youth girls wrote me notes, so I took them inside & posted them on my billboard, then that note Amanda wrote to me caught my attention. It's like 6 paragraphs long, but the only paragraph that caught my attention stated that verse on it.

whoa God, I got the reminder(s).  I love it when He does that.

God knows our best. He wants us to enjoy His best. & we will, only if we delight ourselves in the presence of God & allow Him to do his thing.

Until next time,
