Well, ya’ll, it’s a new glorious day. Can you believe I’m saying that after my pitiful post/day yesterday?! Really, it is. I’m so in love with the Lord this morning, I just can’t begin to tell you. He is awesome. He is mighty. He is powerful. He loves me so so much. I just could keep going on and on and on.
I realize that yesterday, it was just a complete day of darkness for no reason. How often do I get down on myself, tell myself I’m a nothing and then, realize, hello, that’s not the Lord speaking to me. Hello, He would never say those things to me, He would never make me feel like that. The doubt, the fear, the anxiety, the frustration, the what-ifs…none of that is of Him.
Then, the Lord swoops in…He sends armies of angels and people in my life to just restore the ‘normal,’ the love, the grace, the mercy, and just like that, my eyes sort of open up. I have angels on earth in my life, I really do. If you know my friends, especially my bffers, you’ll know that they are. They pray for me when I send out my ‘having a bad day’ texts. They know to call me and ask me to come eat with them so they can hear me cry and then tell me its going to be okay. They reassure me and tell me that I’m not a crazy person, that it is going to get better. They tell me that my hopes and dreams aren’t nothing—they’re hoping and dreaming about the same thing for me.
Alongside of the angels on earth…my Lord goes in for the grand prize. He makes a hopeless situation (in my mind), one full of hope. He makes a situation that I had dreaded all day pass by so quickly and so painlessly, I laugh at myself as I get into the car after it, because I was silly enough to let the devil win that round. BUT, God didn’t allow it to happen. He fought for me, he battled the devil, and he WON. (And, don’t even think that his Mama Mary wasn’t hearing my crys in those rosaries and my prayers for intercession! She has my back, too!)
To my best friends…Erin, Emily, Jazzy, Mrs. Debbie, thank you. Thank you for loving me for who I am, for being in my life, for caring for me and for just giving me unconditional love. I seriously would not be where I am without you. You’re my family, my bffers, my angels on earth.
Jesus, more than anything, I love you. You get all the glory for my joy, and I pray that I can give you the glory everyday. Let the light you shine on me today shine everyday. I know in the darkness, you’ll bring the light.
