goodness
How did God show His goodness to me today? I'm so glad you asked!
Well, I must admit that I started out today fairly tired, and by that I mean super exhausted, and feeling the weight of a paper over my head. I got it done, but the rest of the day was still overshadowed by tiredness. Then, I had another instance of feeling awkward with one of my friends! The conversation was going so well, and then I just started having these awkward pauses. But one relieving part was that it was a girl this time, so now at least I know the awkwardness isn't just in my interactions with males. (This too is all just perception...I don't think anyone notices but me, which is yet another comfort) Still, this led to feeling a little more down, especially since the incident was compounded by tiredness.
Then the "girl thing" set in...I was feeling left out of the dating scene, forgetting my current fear of boys because of the sudden popping up of many couples within my friendship circle. Only a girl could feel two opposite things at the same time. It was forgotten then because of a night class (History of the Holocaust, which isn't exactly something that will lift the spirits), and then a study session for a midterm on Thursday. Then a HUGE weight of tiredness. All in all, I was pretty down. So I started praying, asking God to help me glorify Him in the emptiness I was feeling, confessing a need for some lovin', and He brought to mind this passage:
10 Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear:
Forget your people and your father's house.
11 The king is enthralled by your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord. Psalm 45:10-11
So basically, God is saying to me, "Morgan, I am enthralled by your beauty, I am your Lord."** WOW. And as if that weren't enough, right after that my mom called me. At just the right time, He provided someone for me to talk to (she even said she felt this urge in the back of her mind to call me and tell me she loved me). Man, God loves me and cares for me. He really knows how to woo a girl and make her feel special. :)
**ok, disclaimer: not that I believe myself to be beautiful, but I'm bowled over by the fact that He does. It seems impossible, but God is a God of the impossible, so you know. I just love it. :)
