Wow. The blog begins. Thanks for reading. It is my goal to be very real and to reveal the heart of God in this blog. Today I want to share a cool moment in my life with you. You will find that I simply love a good story.
Ephesians 3:20 says, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can think, ask, or imagine. That scriptures rocks my world. That means I can't even imagine what God has planned for you and I.
Today, I watched as my precious wife underwent surgery for her wisdom teeth. Why those teeth are called "wisdom" I will never know? During the hour and a half procedure I waited nervously outside. When it was all done there she was swollen cheeks and all. No matter what she is still gorgeous. I helped her into the car and thought how truly blessed I was to have her.
I remember the day we got married. It was Sept. 29, 1990. We were just kids. We had dated for 1 year and 3 months. I knew the day I met her she would be mine. LOL. I hoped she felt the same. The day after our wedding we were in the mountains of NC. I went outside to do my devotions. I went about 100 yards from the little cabin we had rented. I grabbed my bible for some Jesus time. Then I realized I had brought the wrong bible for my honey moon. I meant too bring my regular bible. I had brought one by accident that I had used in high school. As I sat down to pray on a tree stump a note fell out onto the ground. I picked up the note and began to read. It was a list I had written at 16 years old when I sold out to God. You see I had heard that God would give you the desires of your heart. So I had written a note describing my future spouse. I described her looks (lol), I know, I know. Remember, I was 16. I went on to describe her spirit, smile, and style. I had made a detailed look even down to the color of her eyes. When I read the list I began to weep. God had done it. He had given me the desires of my heart.
You see I am a foolish dreamer. I am an optimist. I believe in favor. Most of all I believe God likes me. I think he even laughs at my jokes. God has chosen us all to dream big, and trust even more. If you ask Him with a pure heart and pure motives- He will take care of you. Just Imagine. Then God takes care of the rest.
