Unexpected Waters Carried Me to the Rock

Two years ago, I was sitting on the end of a treadmill...crying...and pouring out my heart before the Lord, extremely frustrated with my life circumstances. Having just recently graduated from an academic university with two degrees, huge dreams and ambitions lingering in my mind, and yet... I was still single, living with my parents, working full time wiping old people's butts for a living and seeing no hope for the future  ...not how I pictured my life after college. God, in His gentle voice, whispered sweet words of love in my ear...reminding me that life is a gift, bringing to mind that this is not my home, and reassuring me that He has a plan for my life that is greater than my plans...once again teaching me the humbling reality of surrender and cultivating a heart of thankfulness for my current circumstances.  ...lessons that have come to mind frequently over the last two years.

One blink of an eye, they are pushed to their death The waterfall...release... Gushes of past spoke of bony fingers interrupting their descent. New drops free falling to their destiny. The muffled funeral chant buried deep in Egyptian cotton.

After the inspiration of memorizing 1 Peter i jumped into my car and headed to work. I unconsciously flipped on the radio, only to second think it and turn it off. The silence was daunting but refreshing. Soon prayers and praise started streaming through my mouth like no body was watching. Absolutely refreshed and alive, i pulled into work. Work was long and studying this afternoon was dreadfully boring, but b/c i had my eyes on Jesus everything was in perspective and no bad attitudes! Praise the Lord! I do not say any of this to boast...i'm not perfect but i was just so encouraged by the power of the Holy Spirit working in my life. I know what i'm like when i am not full of the Spirit and it isn't pretty or attractive. But i saw a little glimpse of God's character through my...
