God hugged me Sunday

Before church services started Sunday morning as I usually do I prayed a little prayer in the Sprung. Tis day I was feeling a bit down and I simply asked God to allow me to lay back in His arms and relax in Him. For Him to wrap His loving arms around me. I felt better instantly but was unprepared for what was about to happen AFTER the 9:30 service as I made my way down to Argyle West to serve my 1st-5th graders. I had barely got inside and talked to Miguel for a few minutes when a young lady I had never seen before came up and hugged me.....no words, just a hug and she walked back to her seat and sat down. This was repeated about 10 times in the next few minutes. It took me a little while before I realized what was happening. I had asked for God's embrace and He gave it to me through these kids. Every time I turned around I was surrounded by kids I don't normally spend as much time with and it was like how I can picture Jesus feeling when surrounded by the kids He loves so much. Not comparing myself to Jesus but He does ask us to be like Him....to do His work. There were SOOOO many prayers answered this Sunday and I am so happy to have my time in God's arms. I have NO doubt that I am where God wants me, with my kids at Cross Timbers Argyle :)

Some day

God had been chiseling away at me for many years but i resisted. He had tried working in me but i would fight Him every step of the way it seems. I feel when I started admitting my mistakes.....taking responsibility for my actions....that He gave me insights to soooo many things. God was showing me what I COULD have if I was to just trust HIM. My problem so many times before was that a relationship would start out great then I would EXPECT it to fail and in so many ways I would cause it to fail. Since serving my church, I feel it has taught me humility and brought about a very basic change in my mindset. I honestly feel I am NOW finally ready for the one God has set aside for me and in my heart I know He is already preparing her for me just as He has prepared me for her.
