Quiet Time.

Well, yesterday at church I talked to Ketric (Lifechurch Youth Pastor) and finally got the name of the devotional that I was gonna look for! I had been wanting it for a while, but time flew by and we were busy and just couldn't talk. So anyways, I went and got it (it's called Experiencing God btw!) and started it last night! It's been really good so far, and has been helping me get into the Word as well. I'm very thankful I finally have it.


So this morning I had to wake up at 6:30 for work (I work at Braums!) and I thought, you know I bet God wants me to use my devotional and spend time with Him right now. The first thing I did when I got out of bed was just that. I read the devotional, and dug into the Word/prayed. Well, I prayed for a lot of things, but one in particular was that I wouldn't have to work tomorrow (Monday) so that I could help out a friend who needed some things done! Then I finish up my time with God, and go on my way.


It's 12:00p.m. and I'm sitting at the cash register for groceries... bored stiff. I'm thinking to myself, "why am I here? Nobody's getting groceries right now!" So then I started praying "God, please let this time go faster, I'm bored, my feet hurt, and I still have 3 and a half more hours! ahh!" haha. Then I go back to business and help this lady check out. Well come to find out, at 1:30 I went to go on break and the manager told me to go ahead and leave because they were over staffed! I was like "HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU GOD!" So in that way, He TOTALLY provided.


Well then I text my boss to see what my schedule is for this week, and it turns out, NO WORK TOMORROW! YES! Praise Jesus some more! haha. In the end, I was blessed tremendously, and I love love love it! Choose blessings over curses!


The more I though about it, the more I realized God has shown up today because I gave time to Him. Not church, but just Him and I time. I love that. All I had to do was be obedient and because of the God He is all He wants to do is bless me! Yes! So the moral of this story is, have a quiet time with God. Not only to be blessed, but to truly get to know the Lord you "claim" as your own. :].
