I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open tonight. I am so grateful how good God is especially when I am barely hanging on! I have had midterm exams all week and have been at the end of my rope for a couple days now. I even woke up edgy this morning! When I got to school this morning I picked up the biggest cup of chai I could get and headed to my class. Sitting outside was my friend Philip who has class next to mine in the morning. I love talking with Philip because he is just so filled with God's spirit and has a propensity to be able to see God even in the WORST of situations. He told me stories about the things that God had done in his life. It totally shifted my perspective. We just sat and talked about the Lord and His goodness and amazingly, all my stress was lifted!
All of the Children's and Youth pastors went to a conference out of town so I got to help my friend Chris with Children's church tonight. It was really cool. She talked about friends and friendship and being a good friend to people and shining God's light to our friends in the world. It was a great message. At the end of the service, we asked if any of the kids needed prayer and 4 of them came up. We prayed with them and saw God wonderfully touch each and every kid in the room. It's amazing how being in the presence of God will just take your pain, issues, stress and every other thing from you and replace it with joy and peace. I am so grateful for His love that He cares for me and for others and doesn't even want us to be stressed about things!
