sooo I am new to this blog thing so bear with me!
I love when a day starts out like an ordinary day.. yet the Lord surprises with a life changing lesson.. before i stat discussing whats on my mind i feel like i need to give you a disclaimer ...
I have always loved to tell stories... however I am terrible at it.. I never seem to tell them in chronological order.. which leads to me having to back track leaving most of the listeners confused. I blame it on my ADD and that is how my mind is, constantly all over the place ... so hearing something from my perspective is like having a couple minutes inside my rather large head. ( and yes I do see the irony in this disclaimer being in the middle of my post)
anyways.... I love those moments of the day where you feel the Lord guiding your path. Today I felt it while I was working out on the elliptical in my basement. ( yes I too was shocked at the fact that i made time today to work out) while I was ( I have no idea the verb that goes with the elliptical ..but if I did I would place it here) I saw out of the corner of my eye a brand new teen study bible.. Now yes I have 2 other bibles in my dorm room at school ... which I meant to bring home with me but left them on my desk... So here was god once again looking out for me. Now recently I have wanted to become more knowledgeable in the word. However I was greatly intimidated on where to start because there is not just one part of the Bible that is important the whole thing is important because its the BIBLE. Anyways I opened up the bible to what was a random page to me but was obviously once again planed out by the Lord. at the bottom of the page it had Psalm 25:4-5
"Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths: guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior, and my hope is in you all day long"
after reading this verse I got goose bumps.. this is exactly what I needed to hear ( well i guess read fits better) that yes the bible is large and full of many important lessons but God will guide you to what you are needing if you just open up your heart to listen.
what I need to remember is God always has a plan for me i just need to keep my heart open to hear him
