God's Got It

“Jesus replied,
“You don’t understand now what I am doing,
but someday you will.”
‭‭John‬ ‭13:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬
 
 
 
I was overwhelmed with joy this morning as I drove to work mediating over my life and how far God has brought me. I'm reminded of times I would cry and even pitch fits over not having certain things I desired. When will this happen? When will that happen? Subconsciously my mind was bombarded by an imaginary timetable. I would always tell myself, "God will do it in His perfect timing," not fully grasping what I was saying. It is only now that I can confidently say His timing is perfect.

There have been times when I have gone through certain things and didn't understand why. There have been times when I prayed for a certain thing and didn't understand why I didn't receive it but now I can look back on those times and rejoice. I can rejoice because I finally get it! I finally really understand that God has a plan for our lives that's bigger than anything we could imagine. My purpose in this blog post is to give you some encouragement as you wait on that dream job, that husband, your purpose, or whatever it is you're praying for.
 
When I doubted God he was behind the scenes working on my behalf getting people, situations and things ready just for me. I'm so glad God intervened in my life. I'm so glad I didn't get that certain job because I received a better one. I'm so glad I went through those trials and tribualtions because it made me stronger. I'm so glad that certain things didn't go my way because God gave me exactly what I desired even before I knew it existed in my heart. God is crazy faithful and whatever you're asking God to do trust that if its in His will He will surely do it (1 Thessalonians 5:24)! He has to do it because guess what? It's all in His plan for you. I wish I could go back to those times I cried over certain things and just tap myself on the shoulder and say, "Devin it's all going to work out. God has it all figured out. You will see." Let's have the "it's gotta happen attitude" regardless of what the situation may be. So take a deep breath and say to yourself, "God's got me!"

Don't Cash Out on Your Blessing

My favorite pizza spot is Domino's Pizza. So much so, I worked there in high school for about....seven months. That's a pretty long time for a high school student in my opinion. Talking to my friend about life situations, he randomly asked me if I had ever heard the story of the brothers who owned Domino's Pizza. I'll be honest with you and say, "although I worked for Domino's Pizza I never took the time to learn their history." So of course my response to him was a big fat "no." Well, in 1960 two brothers by the name of Tom Monoghan and James purchased DomiNicki, a pizza store in Michigan. After just eight months of taking over the ailing pizza store, James wanted out. He owned 50% of the business and cashed out by trading his half to his brother Tom for a Volkswagon Beetle the brothers had bought as a delivery car. In 1965, Tom renamed the business Domino's Pizza. Two years later, the first Domino's Pizza franchise store opened. B...

Worth the Wait

So I've had braces a little over a year now and if you've had braces before you know the struggle can become real, especially after a visit from getting them tighten. Having your braces adjusted can cause some mild pain and discomfort, since it puts pressure on your teeth. As the teeth are under pressure, bones and tissues are breaking down. The teeth and their supporting structures are then able to begin moving again, continuing the process of slowly moving the teeth into their desired positions. I'm able to tolerate the shifting, discomfort and pain because I know the pressure is for my good. Every now and then I find myself examining my teeth to see if any progress has been made. In some places, I see an enormously amount of change. Other areas, not so much but I know something is happening.  As I examine what I think to be slow progression, I begin to think of the change and seasons in my own life. How much is my life evolving? When will this happen or when wi...

Just Right!

Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him." Genesis 2:18 "You're so pretty, smart, and career oriented but why are you single? What's wrong with you? You must be picky!" As a 24 year old who will be 25 in a couple of weeks, I've been hearing this a lot lately. So much that when I go to my quiet place I ask myself, "is the reason that I'm single because I'm picky?" I was taken to Genesis 2 in my reading time one morning and I read, "Then the LORD God said, It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him (Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬ NLT)." I kept reading this verse because I realized that even in the beginning God desired so much for us! Even down to us not being alone. God is not blind to the fact that man doesn't want to be alone. He even said that it wasn't good. In the second portion of that same scr...
