Well, I was originally planning to do blog posts weekly, or maybe once every two weeks, but God is just too good for that... He just is too wonderful for that. Dears, I cannot describe the wonder and grace that God has extended to this runaway bride and daughter, and I must say that it has overwhelmed me this morning.
This morning, unlike most of my typical college student mornings (pajamas, coffee, shower, and only sighs or a mumbles before coffee) was a special one. I was going to coffee and breakfast with Laura! My best friend in the entire world! (seriously, like we've planned each other's weddings already). She is the only person for whom I will wake up at before the crack of dawn to spend time with, and truly one of the most wonderful human beings ever to walk the planet. Anyways, I was planning on buying us breakfast because of course it was payday, and then she was going to buy the coffee. It was going to be great!... This was the plan... Or so I thought... "HAHAHA! I laugh in your face!!!" *this is life speaking* So, as many of you know, plans can tend to change a little... Sometimes... Especially on days when you find out that it isn't actually payday, and you have a whole $6 in your bank account, and you feel crabby as a mama bear during hibernation... Yes my friends. This, is the life! I was so bummed, but of course I texted Laura that we were going to have to skip on breakie because I was bumhobo (a term we had previously created for such a time as this). Being the wonderful friend that she is, she just plucked up and decided that we were going to go to coffee anyways. So we went. I was feeling so bummed, and crabby. This darlings, is the setup for a beautiful morning... No sarcasm necessary. You see, I was under the impression that I was going to do all of these great things because I had a plan, and I was going to stick to it, but God had different ideas... And they started by bringing me to my knees with a big slice of humble pie. Instead of what I had planned, God decided that HE was going to bring Laura and I together, and provide us with breakfast, and coffee, and HIS Holy Spirit, but with a different perspective. He reminded us of how miraculous $5 free coupons and student discounts can be... and that how He works DOES NOT depend on how bumhobo and poor we are. On this most beautiful morning in existence (for it is the only one in existence right now) Our Father truly blessed us. He provided a way for us to enjoy each other's company, and to feast on yummy breakfast sandwiches and His truth. What a God He is!!! What a faithful FATHER, HUSBAND, and FRIEND He is! Darling ladies, and gents if you're reading... Our God is not bound by our bumhobo status... Whether it be poor in spirit, or in wallet. He is perfectly faithful and loving in EVERY circumstance... And the ONLY proper response to who He is, and what He does, is a thankful and worship filled heart. "I will give YOU thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to YOU before the gods. I will bow down toward YOUR holy temple and give thanks to YOUR name for YOUR lovingkindness and YOUR truth; For YOU have magnified YOUR word according to YOUR name. On the day I called, YOU answered me; YOU made me bold with strength in my soul." Psalm 138:1-3
