Random happenings

Yesterday was full of random happenings for me. I was able tot alk to several people that I haven't talked to in years and it was so encouraging. First, a good friend form my past IMed me and we were able to talk about her life. We weren't able to talk much because she had to feed her three week old baby boy. I used to spend every day with her and when she moved back to Henderson, I hadn't talked to her since. The Lord had really put her in my mind and on my heart to be praying for her, and I got the IM. It was so nice to talk to her and catch up with everything going on. Please keep her in your prayers; a new baby is a huge blessing but can still be hard. A little while later I got an IM from a guy whose brother I had dated some time ago. I had randomly popped into this guy's head and he wanted to see how I was doing. It was such an encouragement to me to hear that he had been thinking of me because he was glad when I was in his brother's life. Though it wasn't for long that we dated, I apparently stood out. I just pray that I will be able to continue to be an encouragement in his life and show them God's love. Not too long after that I saw that a person I hadn't talked to in even a longer time was online. I met him back in middle school on a youth trip to Florida. We ended up talking for so long and were able to share with each other about how good God is. It was awesome to be able to share with somebody that I hadn't talked to in so long and hear how God is working. I started reading his blog and the Lord showed me even more. His name is Jakob and I have his blog as a link on mine. I strongly encourage you to read over this blog too. I know that I have so many blogs that I say are good, but this one is just as good as the others. He paints such a beautiful picture of how amazing God's love is. He talks about how we are all created with this longing for something to fill this void in our lives. Jakob does such a good job at reminding us that no other person or thing can fill this void, only God can. He also talks about how we are meant to be in relationships. Relationships are so important and I have been learning that recently. We are so blessed to have other brothers and sisters in Christ to help point our eyes back on our Maker. I am so glad that I was able to talk to him last night and read his blog; the Lord blessed me through it and I am certain the He will do the same for you.
