rain down

God is truly blessing me in so many amazing ways, and each day i am blown away by Him and His grace and His love and His promise that He will provide for me. He gives me exactly what i need when i need it. how is God working right now?

first of all, He is providing financially, which is a place in my life where i know that He will always provide, but lately it has not necessarily been in abundance, which has taught me to be very careful with every penny that He gives me. i have learned complete and utter trust through this. this summer has been incredibly rough financially, and i am beginning to see the ways that i am coming out of this valley. i am so thankful to my father for providing.

i have a place to live! that is a huge blessing! not to mention it's cheaper, and therefore i am able to have some extra money at the end of the month. i am looking forward to living with my roommate, which will be a huge blessing to have that change in my life. i pray that the other girl would be able to sublease my apartment, and that would work out. i lift that up to you, God.

also, i am seeing God's blessing in the relationships that He has placed in my life. i am incredibly blessed and thankful for a certain relationship that is forming in my life. i could not have imagined a better man for God to allow into my life. i have complete peace about this, as opposed to the former guy. i am seeing so many things in him that show me how much he cares about jesus, as well as me. i pray that God would continue to bless this relationship and keep showing me new things about himself and about the boy through this. when i envisioned a relationship with someone, many of my ideas are manifesting itself. it is so centered on christ, and i pray that would continue to grow. it's like God is saying, "here, i have this for you. it's good, i promise. i've been waiting to give this to you."

my God is so big and so powerful and He really loves me.

at the cross you beckon me
draw me gently to my knees and i am
lost for words, so lost in love
i'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

shalom.
