In my devotions I read this morning that God does not want us to waste any time trying to analyze Him or figure out why things happen the way they do. He wants us to just submit ourselves to Him and trust Him to handle the rest. Like Pastor Brent says, don't be selfish with your needs, give them to Him. I am absolutely doing just that. I have controlled too much for too long. As for me and this house? We are submissive 100% to God and He makes all decisions for us now and for the future. I feel free. I feel at peace. I feel light as a feather. No more heavy laden with the burden of what to do, what to pay, what to decide. He has it all in the palm of His hands. I simply give each of my days to Him and I thank Him for the them. I feel blessed and happy and I let Him know my gratitude. I then give Him the day ahead and I ask that He be the maker of all divine appointments for me and that He allow those in to my paths that need to be. Even when C and I work the flea markets, you would be shocked at all the believers that come in and all the people we talk with and share the gospel with. C hands out free cd's of his father's 1992 album he recorded and we made labels of the playlist and nice colored sleeves and we know people are being blessed. I always set up a spiritual table and it is our biggest seller. I tell them each that they will be blessed and we want to spread the gospel. It really is amazing. Danny was visting us one day and he stood next to me as people were handing me bills, standing in line to pay. One man gave me more than the price and when I told him he gave me too much, he told me to keep it. Who does that? When does that happen? Only when God is at the helm. We are in His presence and in His divine glory so we are forever serving and spreading His word to all. We are so amazed at how our days are so much more than making some extra cash. People comment and come back and see us week after week and buy more and more. Once sweet woman said, "I hope to see you both again and if not now, I will see you in heaven." God is awesome, isn't he?
Philippians 4:19
