But this post is an important one that i feel like i need to share. So I shall.
Last night, Easter Sunday night, was a rough one.
I had some old memories shoved into my face that i did not want to relive. They reminded me of all i gave up and all the hurt i was put through. Needless to say, last night sucked.
But amongst the tears and hurting, a little voice just told me to cry out. So i did. I cried out to God and asked him for a peace. A peace that was indescribable and overwhelming; and that's exactly what he gave me. The tears stopped tumbling down and i picked up my bible. I turned to the back and of my bible where it gives topics discussed,& i turned to time...
My eye immediately caught "God brings things together at the right time." I turned to page 786 in my bible, which is Ecclesiastes 3:20. It says
"God has made everything beautiful in its time. also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end." The following paragraphs discuss how when we pray to God to show us things, coincidences don't really happen. It says that everything God allows in our life--even sadness--has a purpose. It says to trust God, even if we can't see past the pain, because God can see past tomorrow.
To me, that was more than enough comfort. Having just gone through a rough break up and being so confused about the future, this was all i needed to hear. I have always wanted to leave MS for college, but the boyfriend i had didn't want me to. He didn't want me to leave him, which is totally understandable. As time was drawing near to figuring out college plans, i became more and more confused. I asked God to show me where i needed to be and what i needed to do.. He did. He showed me that the relationship was not what i needed, and what i needed was to get out of MS. I am more than grateful that he showed me that, even though a heartbreak was necessary for me to realize it.
God has a funny way of doing things, but one that makes life colorful.
In other news, i have a new video camera. Can't wait to do some videoing. :D Maybe i can do a secret mission and show you guys around the world of Emily. May be to scary for you tho.
