And again.

It is late, and I should be in bed...but my heart is full and I need to write this now, or I will enter my crazy busy day tomorrow and it will end up being another day and a half before I can post this.

My God is good.

But what, is "good" exactly? It is a word, that is used numerous times in a day, and so to use that common word to describe my GOD, the Great I AM...seems a little boring.

But He is...he is, "satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree", "of high quality; excellent", "right; proper; fit", "genuine; not counterfeit", "honorable or worthy", He is all these things and more.

And today, I was once again overwhelmed by it all. Not only because He has done GREAT things for me, but also for the little things that he has done for me. It is the little things that usually awe me more. Who am I that HE would care about the little tiny details of my day, and love me enough to interject His goodness into them?

Today, God gave us a suburban.

Yes, GAVE.

We did not pay a single penny for it, and yet we are now the grateful owners of another suburban.

We are so grateful for the sweet couple at church that were sensitive to the Lords prompting and have blessed us beyond measure, by giving it to us. I pray that the Lord gives back to you ten fold what you have given today.

Mmmmmhhhmmm. God is good in the big things...but that is not it.

Yesterday afternoon I was in my room and realized that one of my earrings was gone. I was so sad, it was one of my favorite pairs, and I hated to have lost it. I knew I would never find it, I had been all over that day, running errands, outside doing stuff...it could be any where. All the same, I whispered a quick prayer to my Jesus, and just told Him "how much I would love to be able to find that earring and I knew that he knew exactly where it was, so if it was ok with Him could he show me?"

Less than five minutes later, Emma, my six year old sister comes running in the house and up the stairs yelling my name. She ran in the room holding out her little hand to me, saying..."Jessica! Look what I just found on the driveway!"

Uhuh. My earring.

Yeah, my God cares that much for me. I was so happy to have the earring back, and didn't even care that the back was lost, I told God, "Thank you soooo much! You are so amazing, and I don't even care that the back is lost, I have lots of those I can use with this one."

But God wasn't done.

This morning I came downstairs and was talking to my dad in the living room, and as he was sitting down in one of our arm chairs he says..."Oh, look. Here is the back to someones earring."

I feel special.

The God of all the universe knows me, and loves to make me smile through the little things in life.

Like the guy who bends over backwards show his "special someone" that he loves her, doing everything from taking her to big fancy dinners, to sending flowers or calling just to say "I love you", So the Lover of my Soul, woos me with sending me exactly what I need, exactly when I need it. No one else can do it quite like Him, because only HE, knows my innermost parts, and hears my every thought, and knows my every need.

Yeah...I am in love with Him. How could I not be?

I have been looking for a while now for a new cute jean skirt. Attractive, modest, jean skirts are hard to find these days, but a must have in my opinion, to have a well rounded wardrobe :)

I have been looking for one for a while and God knew about it, and so I was just kind of keeping it on the back burner, hoping I would find one soon.

And again...today I was at Goodwill, not even looking at clothes but in fact was there hoping to find a bookshelf for my room. I looked through all of their furniture and after deciding that they didn't have what I was looking for, was turning to leave, but a skirt hanging at the very end of a rack near me caught my eye. It was a jean skirt. That just happened to look brand new. And just happened to be very cute. And just happened to be in my exact size.

One last thing that I have to add...today, God spoke to me in a very unexpected way. He chose to use someone that I don't know extremely well, but have met only once and then have kept up with her a little and gotten to know her better since then. For whatever reason, she opened her heart to me today, and shared one of the most precious stories I have ever heard. A true story of a life experience that she has recently had. It blew me away. It will take days, weeks maybe to process what God said to me today through that.

Thank you friend.

For being sensitive to the Lords leading and gracious enough to allow the Lord to use you in my life today.

I am heading to bed now....

May the Lord bless you with the same sense of awe and wonder of who He is, of who He wants to be to you, if you will only let Him in.

Good night.
