Day 16

           Jimmy Turner passed away this morning.  I know this has nothing to do with the purpose of this blog.  But it's mine and I can decide what's in it, so WhatEVER! LOL  I would be dishonest if I said I wasn't disappointed that Jimmy died. I was.  Not because our prayers didn't get answered, they did I believe.  More importantly this young man will never live out the destiny and the amazing good things that God had planned for his life.  It shifted my whole perspective, refocusing more not on actually seeing the amazing miracles happen, but on touching lives for the Kingdom.  You never know what's going on in a person's life really, but when God's love comes it changes circumstances and situations.  I am so blessed to be able to carry His love because He gave it to me, I get to share it.
           This afternoon when I was thinking about Jimmy and his family, I thought about when I was a kid, I was the absolute worst secret keeper in my whole family.  In fact I had such a big mouth that my family always teased me and made jokes about not telling me anything that they didn't want the whole world to know.  It's true, as a child, when I would get a piece of information about ANYTHING I felt the need to share it with anyone who would listen.  I suddenly realized today that I have grown into an excellent secret keeper.  In some things it is good to learn to keep your mouth closed and your ears open.  But when it comes to sharing God's goodness... well, the Bible says that we are to have a child's heart.  So I guess that means I need to tell the whole world that Jesus lives and God forgives and He is good and He loves them. 
           When I get all caught up in thinking about "should I go over to that person, should I not?" I am keeping Him a secret. He is the secret that is meant to be shared, shared from the highest rooftops and in the lowest valleys! God help me not to keep you a secret. 
           Today was Sunday so I was SUPER blessed and got to pray with a TON of people today.  Believing God for miracles in every one of their situations!  God's goodness is Astounding.  Not only did He get me to the age of 31 but He has placed me in one of the absolute best places in the world and He allows me to share His love that He gave me with others. AMAZING!
          I am so thankful that God has a good plan for my life and for everyone else's. I am humbled that I get to be a part of what He is doing.  It is truly an amazing gift!
