God is in control ALL of the time!

I was once told in more or less words that always putting a "God label" on everything reduces the Power of His name.  At the time I agreed but I instantly prayed about it as I knew not to agree but didn't have the words to defend myself at that moment. Spending all day at work (PRAISE GOD FOR MY JOB!!!) wrestling over how to justify that God is always in control, God reminded me of a dear friend's recent testimony. I couldn't even remember the "punch line" parse, however thanks to the people who understand that my cell phone "Notes" feature is my memory and allow me to "text" during Church, I was able to refer to refresh my memory. I have this "Testimony was given and I was reminded to focus on fixing myself (my walk with God), that God will handle the hearts of others," and to put everything else in His hands.

Jeremiah 32:27(AMP)

27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?

Perhaps I was at a loss for words at the moment, but now I see

Do you have it?

Being disgusted with myself after missing both of the Bible studies that are taking place tonight, I was praying about a recent situation. I try to read Scripture in a predetermined, orderly fashion and was getting ready to read Proverbs 14 when I opened my Bible to Matthew 13. God steered my eyes to verse 58. 

Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 13:58 - New International Version

And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

After a recent conversation I was ready to chalk a man up as a lost cause-- someone who was too far gone for me. Then I read this and thought, "wouldn't I hate to be the reason that God's miracles weren't performed in someone's life?" That would be so terrible!!! What I can do now may seem to some as powerless, however it has proven powerful time and time again so I get to bring my concerns and worries to God and PRAY-- HAVING FAITH THAT IN his PERFECT TIME, (whether the answer is yes, no or wait) that His answer will come, I only have to have Faith!

GOD'S ALWAYS AT WORK!

GOD'S ALWAYS AT WORK!

Many things I've written explain the validity of hindsight-- when one is able to reflect on and evaluate events, more sound decisions can be made (this is all my opinion of course). I have been overwhelmed with peace recently. This is the strangest feeling I've had since my accident. Since my accident? That was over 13 years ago-- that is a long time!! It may be a long time to you, but in my mind it seems like just yesterday. I am not saying that I will not ever pout or freak out again, I'm just saying that I feel amazing! I imagine this may be what a person feels like when a person is doing drugs and/or is high, but I'm on a natural high and I haven't even started taking melatonin (a sleep aid) nor do I know if I have a job that I have applied for at a school. ß So I wrote that section this morning (10/2/14) THEN….i get a surprise visit from a man I met in 2011. You may be thinking "Kimi has a brain injury and has a hard time remembering 3 minutes ago MUCH LESS 3 years ago."

That my friends, is why I keep a Prayer Journal. A section of the entry from that day 3 years ago (the day I had met this man) is as follows “Lord, I pray for Adam Loehr—I don’t know if he is who he says he is or not but Lord I just pray that in me, he saw Jesus Christ.” Then yesterday I asked the Lord if we could meet with a person Adam knows (to make sure he wasn’t putting on a front) and with God’s permission I asked Adam the same. He mentioned going to Chadbourne Church.  I told him about Rocky Mountain Calvary and Spruce Hill Church (Churches I attend) when all of a sudden a lady walks into the restaurant we were in and says “Hey Adam!”  Oh my it was someone that known Adam! It was none other than the associate pastor of Chadbourne Church! That was an instantaneous answer to a prayer! When the associate pastor invited me to Church I explained how Sunday was typically the day Ma and I got together and went to the Cowboy Church (Spruce Hill). Although I thought about asking if we could go to both Churches, I didn't think I should however I asked him anyways (I'm a rebel...lol). I was a bit taken back, when he said “sure.”  This guy is a complete weirdo I thought. God, can this be true, somebody that actually wants to go to more than one church on Sunday with me?? We'll have to see if he will sit through 3 of the same services at RMC next week..no not really hahaha....okay maybe.

I've been given 3 years to reflect on meeting this man. When we had first met, it was on the bus and when he asked to continue talking I got off and went to Red Lobster and I made sure the workers knew that I had never met this man and to watch me carefully. Sadly the workers did kinda make him feel uncomfortable as he remembers that day quite vividly but he's very understanding because I was single.

So now I wonder, I have been told that not many people stick around for long in my life, if remembering the vicinity of where live without having contact for 3 years counts. In those 3 years God has done amazing things in both his life and mine. Although he told me about a few things in his life, I will only mention what has gone on in my life. I have been through a lot of college and a lot of Church. I partially made it through grad school, and God gave me a position with kids at Church!

          Today I finally started taking the melatonin so I am tired and I have next step of the hiring process for D-11 tomorrow (10/3/14). Please pray for this interview as I believe this is the final one.

Hindsight has not been validated yet, but so many pieces are fitting together. See you around!
