Okay so to start off this is way random but Jt came to me this evening and said "Hey I know what your next blog post can be about" so of course me being the blonde that I am totally got caught hook line and sinker. So Im like "for which blog? Professional or Fun?" He says "well whatever... You should blog about how you told your Husband at the dinner table that you were upset with him but you just couldn't figure out what for yet!!" LOL. Ok so yeah thinking back it sounds hilarious and honestly it was quite funny when I first said it too. But really am I the only women that has had that feeling? Where you are upset with him and you know you have a legit reason as to why but you just cant seem to remember for the life of you what it was? Well yeah I had it... I call it "Mom Brain" and you are more then welcome to borrow that for yourself anytime you like!! ;) If you are wondering I still have yet to figure it out.
Alright but now to the true point of my blog this evening. I have talked before about how amazing I believe God is and this idea does not come from the clear blue sky. There have been real and absolute life changing moments in my life. Moments when you know it could not have come from any where else but the Savior in the form of the Holy Spirit. Some people may think I sound ridiculous and that is fine with me I refuse to deny when it is for sure no doubt in my mind that I have had a God moment! So I just experienced one this past week that I would like to share because this particular God moment happened to be quite small compared to the man in the Bible who was a cripple and walked again thanks to Peter and John having Faith in the Holy Spirit. But none the less it was definitely a God moment and I want to share it because I think all too often as christians or believers of God we tend to think if its not some HUGE miracle it just is not God. Have you ever felt all alone bummed out down in the dumps and think to yourself wow I really feel like no one cares. Then out of no where you get a random text from a friend saying "Hey just felt like I needed to say hello" or " random but we haven't talked in a while wondering how you are?"believe it or not these are God moments. God knew in that moment you needed a friend and so the Holy Spirit put it on your friends heart to text. Or have you ever been the friend... had that feeling, man I really just feel like I need to text this person, so you do and when they respond they say "wow, that meant a lot I really needed to hear that right now!" I have had moments where I felt like I needed to do something but didn't I was too busy with my own agenda only to find out at a later date how bad my friend needed me back a few days ago. This is why I have lately become VERY open about what I feel like saying, but you do have to be careful if you feel the urge to say something that will probably hurt someone else or break them down it is more then likely coming from another source! So back to my most recent God moment... if you follow my professional blog willwork4hair then you know I have been blogging in fives!! In my last 5 blog I even mentioned "for some reason I am REALLY liking this whole 5 theme!!" LOL No really thats exactly what God was doing!! So I blogged this on friday (I think) with no preset idea at all! of what church was going to be about on Sunday. Uh, yeah, so the title of the sermon? 5. Oh it gets better God basically (through Matt Brown's sermon of course) told me "So you know Liz how you have really been all about the number 5? "... "well I have too! and what I need from you is your attention!"..." in short the sermon was about 5 minutes 5 minutes of conversation that changed so many more things. So Matt asked his church to pray for 5 minutes a day, for God to move through his people at Sandals. He also asked for us to pray about 5 lost people God would like for us to invite to church on easter sunday in 5 weeks. The goal for Sandals is to share the gospel and Gods love with 5000 people on Easter Sunday!! Yeah so I'm sorry but for me to pass this by and not think it a God moment would be me denying that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and THAT I simply cannot do!! So God has got my attention but I would be lying if I said "oh man I just cant wait to see who he puts in my path". To be as blunt and honest as I can be I really have avoided this call up until this moment and God knows my heart he will have to make it clear as day! I like to pretend no matter what I do it will all work itself out. Which to a point is true but God wants more from me! He wants me to step out on my blind faith so he can continue to reveal himself to me in these small moments. I think of it like this... I am looking out across a gapping hole in the earth and God says "Take a step! I promise I will put the bridge there if you will just take a step!" So I do! I take a step and just as I think I am about to fall POOF! a plank appears! and with each step of Faith God continues to place planks beneath my feet and before you know it I look back and I am half way across this gapping hole! I suddenly hear Him say " You see I promised I would be there! I PROMISED and I WAS!" This is how I have used these small moments in my life... correction... GOD has used these small moments in my life to build up my Faith in Him! I know that one day I will be FREE I will have no doubts or fears nothing holding me back from running at any deep gapping hole God put in my path because I will know its NOT a gapping hole it is actually filled in with the blood of Jesus!! and it has a bridge I just cannot see it!! But I know it is there and so is MY GOD!! Even as i write this blog my eyes fill with tears of joy at His awesome power! So next time you have a "feeling" that maybe you would usually brush off remember even God can use the little things!
