All Wrapped Up

I feel God's arms around me today.  Not for any particular reason, just because I know He is there.  He continues to remind me how much He loves me. 
My love and I received our wedding invitations in the mail last week.  I think we have both been on cloud nine since.  It is for real, it's official.  66 days!  Oh yes, we are counting down!  There is a peace about it all.  Yes, I do get overwhelmed and a bit worked up when spending more than a consistent hour focused on wedding, but it's what I do.  I'm a planner, a know-it-all-ahead-of-time kinda girl.  I don't like bad surprises! But once my love brings my thoughts back to why we are getting married and not the day itself, peace swarms over me all over again!  I am marrying my best friend, my mate picked by God!  How can I be any happier?
That being said, God is showing Himself to me in so many other ways.  Through the blessing of a simple house cleaning, sitting at lunch and listening to loved ones, trusting God when a friend loses a car, and then finding it the very next day, unharmed and just down the road.  I am starting to learn what it really means to put my whole trust in God.  This is a real effort people.  You can't just shoot a prayer up and hope for the best.  No, you must pray consistently with the knowledge He will answer your prayer.  "Have faith!" He tells us time and time again.  Faith....putting your entire heart into it!  Every ounce of who you are must truly KNOW that God is there, that He is listening, and that He WILL answer your prayer.  God is Good!  Everything about Him is Good! 
But, there are still those times when the enemy tries to hold us down.  Problems are thrown in our path that we don't (or sometimes even do) expect and they cause us to lose our faith.  We think they are too big of a problem.  Maybe it has happened too long so we think it's too late.  STOP!  God is bigger than it all!  GOD IS GOOD!!  Send that prayer up and know He will answer!  but don't stop there, send it up again, and again, and again until He answers.  Do not lose faith.  The moment we stop praying to Him is the moment we lose faith. 

Remember this today,

GOD IS GOOD!!

Here's a big one.  In reading this post, God showed Himself to me once again.  He says, trust in Me!  Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself.  I must change.  I can no longer be a "know-it-all-ahead-of-time" kinda girl!  God spoke to me through me!  LOL  He just blows my mind! :)
