Never Far Away

Today I got to speak with two very good friends "best" friends from florida. It was a joy to talk with them for the time I had. Its funny... I felt very awkward at first because I felt bad for not keeping in as close contact as I should have... but then again I hadn't heard from them either. So I was nervous about starting up a conversation. You know... it wasn't bad. I had two very nice conversations with two beautiful brides of Christ. One in particular conversation was such a blessing. She didn't know it but she confirmed something that the Lord had been trying to tell me for about a week now, she as well as my friend Jamie who also without knowing spoke upon me with the same scripture and encouragement. Dear Lord... THANK YOU. Seriously. I needed to hear what I was presented with. It has led me to set my heart straight and clear my mind.

Psalm 37:3-9 (New King James Version)

 ³ Trust in the LORD, and do good;
         Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
 ⁴ Delight yourself also in the LORD,
         And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
        
 ⁵ Commit your way to the LORD,
         Trust also in Him,
         And He shall bring it to pass.
 ⁶ He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
         And your justice as the noonday.
        
 ⁷ Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
         Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
         Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
 ⁸ Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
         Do not fret—it only causes harm.
        
 ⁹ For evildoers shall be cut off;
         But those who wait on the LORD,
         They shall inherit the earth.

HELLO! WAKE UP! I read this what about 4 days ago and here it greets me again. I'm waiting Lord, I have been waiting, I got a little anxious there for a moment but I will be still now. I wont worry, assuredly I will have peace and hope. So heres another part of growing up. Waiting... being patient... and having peace. I found so much freedom tonight. Especially when I read a letter I wrote to myself back in August. I will post that later on. But it was almost as if I was reading a letter addressed to me written by someone else. It made me cry. God is good. All the time.

I am EXCITED... to be EXCITED... about JESUS. :)
