Have you ever noticed things happening in your day or events happening in your life when you say to yourself..that was just weird, not normal or no one could have forseen it..like incidents were planned to happen, ment to happen but there was no way you or anyone else could have seen it coming...or even planned it for that matter! Its weird when that happens isnt it.
For me its been happening a lot lately, but I really do think it was always happening in my life and also in your life but we just dont see it, or if we do we write it off as being some odd coincidence.
During this summer I've been longing to study the bible more and more..ok so that doesnt sound like everyones cup of tea but it is mine-its like a big mug of barrys tea to me! Friends of mine have and are studying in a bible college in Siegen, Germany (Calvary Bible college). The more and more I heard about the bible college and studying the word, the more I grew excited about having the opportunity to study and taught the word of God everyday and getting to talk about him so freely anytime.. honestly there is no greater pleasure for me than getting to talk about our Lord.
This I know for some will sound totally nuts, crazy, boring..and hard to understand where this love of mine has come from and why. I havent always talked like this..no, not at all. I had friends who did talk of their love of the lord before and how he was their god, their everything..and honestly I didnt understand at all.I thought they were a little crazy, absolutly lovely people but yes that little bit weird, different...but now I see it from both sides. It is weird and different because it isnt the norm but as I've wrote before-what is the norm?
We are so quick to judge one another now, we really are, and sadly this goes for all circles, all groups, all people. I did it, I still do. We do it without even thinking about it..which is scary to say, its habit and our minds automatically switch on to it..like if someone is walking down the street and in your head you think "What are they wearing!!!??" Its said or thought within a second.I am more and more aware of me doing this on a daily basis, or judging in general but we can change this. Its only habit after all,it doesnt have to be part of us, I certainly cant defeat it on my own strenght though, only with the help of God.
So the next step for me with seeing if I was to go to bible college was to pray about it, ask him about it and see if it was his plan for me. Ok so just to remind you I used never ever ever do that before..seriously when my christian friends used say that to me I'd be like "ohhhh cool,ya, sure.emmm..right..Ya you do that!"Did not get it at all..and if your like I was it is strange I know but you know what.. you can do it too..try it.Its amazing what happens. So I did, I prayed to God and asked him is it his will for me to go, I knew I would love to go but I wouldnt if it wasnt his plan. Which brings me back to...
"Have you ever noticed things happening in your day or events happening in your life when you say to yourself..that was just weird, not normal or no one could have forseen it..like incidents were planned to happen, ment to happen but there was no way you or anyone else could have seen it coming...or even planned it for that matter! Its weird when that happens isnt it."
It is weird and we dont understand it, just like many dont understand where my love for the Lord has come from,or why I would ask God is it his will for me to go to Germany or why all I want everyday is to talk about our Lord to those I love so dearly- yes we dont understand everything and things are weird..but what do we do when we dont understand..we ask questions.So please do ask questions, search for answers..ask him like I do, though you may not understand why or what is going on in your life..there are answers and he, our God wants to hear you ask and he wants to answer. Open your eyes so you can see him, his answer- he will show you and those weird, unforseen incidents happening in your life may become more clear to where they are pointing you. Dont miss them, but if like me you do, he will show you again and again, just please be willing to see and hear.
Let us not be quick to judge but love and be open to see.
I love you but he loves you more,
God bless,
