God's promises

I am not the type of person that believes in happenstance. I believe that God puts things or people in our lives and there is a reason for it. Timing is a big issue. Say, you met someone at a certain place and time. Well, what if you were to have met that person earlier or later? You might have a totally different type of friend or would you even be friends?

I met some new friends recently, one in particular, whom I think that God put in my life at just the time I needed them. When it comes to personal details about certain subjects, i.e. my ‘personal’ life, I am not that forthcoming. Let’s just say I learned the hard way. Honestly, there are only a hand full of people that I trust and well, like I said in my first Blog. “…if you aren't privy to it already, then well then you don't need to know about it, do you?” This is a rule I live by.

Question before I continue. Do you have things in your life that you know for a fact, regardless of how the circumstances appear? Say, I knew that I would some day live in Colorado. I didn’t know when, in fact, I thought it was going to be over 10 years ago, but I knew I was supposed to move out here. Well, here I am. There are a couple things I am like that about. I mean I just know it, don’t ask me how I know it, I just do. When I have that feeling, it might take some time, but it usually comes to fruition.

Back to this new friend of mine. I hadn’t really told them much about myself. Nice chit chat. This person sat there and basically reaffirmed some things that I have known for awhile. I didn’t even tell them anything that wasn’t public knowledge, nothing deep and insightful. It was almost creepy. It just confirmed things that I already knew and it was like this gift from God saying, ‘It is going to be alright, I have you in My hands and you are where I want you to be.’ It was reassuring, yet scary at the same time.

I think that God helping me with my desire to be who I really am. To be the person, the Godly woman that He has called me to be. To be that person that my friend saw as ‘wholesome’, to be the person that would never compromise on her beliefs. It is awesome to see that actually working in your life, through people who have no idea of where you have been or what is really going on. Just an affirmation of His promises.
