ALL THINGS HAPPEN AS HE DECIDED..............

All things happen just as he decided long ago. Ephesians 1:11

This may sound crazy to you, and it may just be a little odd, but I firmly believe in God with all my heart and soul......... ( thats not the crazy part lol) All my life, anytime almost 90% of the time I look at a clock..... it's 1:11 or its 11:11 and although you look at a clock daily , several times, for some reason I would "stop" and just think 1:11 I wonder if God was trying to tell me something. I know crazy right? Well, not to me.... We're going through a time in our life right now, and I just feel I need assurace from God that things will be ok, and oddly enough today I read my daily verse, at the same time someone interested in our house were trying to sell, calls me and this verse shows up and just summed it all up for me..... All things happen just as he decided long ago....... In other words, no matter how worried, or how hard to try to make something happen, it isnt in your hands. So, I take this as this ordeal, the new job , the new location all this that has been filling us with worry etc.. God said "stop" dont worry cause what will be will be..... So, I guess today for the 1st time, Im going to stop worrying about selling this house... stop stressing that things arent going to go well... stop thinking negatively... Im going to let it all happen because it was already planned for me by God, and I need to just live it. Live through the life he planned for me.... ( excerpt from Purpose Driven Life) -----Jesus did not die on the cross just so we could live comfortable, well-adjusted lives. His purpose is far deeper: he wants to make us like himself before he takes us to heaven. This is our greatest privilege, our immediate responsibility, and our ultimate destiny.

WOW! I feel better already, like a ton of bricks were lifted.

Of course I am a woman, though.. and Im sure I will find some other thing to worry about now..

But at least I'll try not to..............

Thank You God, for giving me a breather..... I needed it.
