Hello hello! See? It's only been a few days and I'm already back! How's that for faithfulness? Lol.
So, last night, I was laying in bed chatting with God (that's our chat time). I was a bit upset. The world is becoming a nasty place to be and I was being a silly little fearful girl. I was all, "God, I'm tired of having a nagging fear constantly in the back of my mind! It's so exhausting! Please, please give me peace. Please." And then instantly, a song started going through my mind. I don't remember who it's by but it's such a very good song. Here's the chorus. It goes:
Peace, be still.
Peace, be still.
Please, be still,
and know that I am God,
and know that I am God.
All of the sudden, I felt an amazing peace. Like God was like, "Please, Sarie-girl, be still. I'm God. There is no reason to worry.". I started laughing and crying. Even thinking of it now, I get all teary that God was listening and loved me so much to give me that peace. Aw! I love Him!
So, on that note (?), I came across some great song lyrics today. This time, I do know who the song is by. ;) The song is God moves in a Mysterious Way by Jeremy Riddle. You'll have to look it up and hear it. I love it. Here are the lyrics:
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm
Deep in unsearchable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sovereign will
Chorus:
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings, in blessings
In blessings on your head
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
But trust Him for His grace
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face
His purposes will ripen fast
Unfolding every hour
The bud may have a bitter taste
But sweet will be the flower
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain
God is His own interpreter
And He will make it plain
In His own time
In His own way...
I know about you, but those are some powerful word. I do think you'd have to hear the song though. So look it up right now! ;)
Well, I think that's enough for now. Love y'all! Ttyl.

Sarah, I really needed to hear that today! It's hard to be still at times...and to fully realize what God being GOD really means!! Way more than we could ever imagine.
Love you!

Wow! What a special girl you are. I am a faithful Lori's blog-reader, and she sent us over here, and I am glad she did! I remember not too long ago I was struggling with nagging fears like that. And I had a talk with God just like you, and He told me the same thing He told you! And I have never been worried about what the world is throwing at us since!
p.s. I am in the process of adopting a little girl from China. (I have 3 boys, and this will be my first little girl.) I hope she will love the Lord like you do!
