I'm sure He laughed at me!

Is it just me, or have you ever felt as if God was laughing at you? 

Not in a really mean way, but in a way that just makes you feel really stupid?

I felt that way on yesterday.

I had something major to deal with.  Heck, we're friends, I'll tell you... I had to go back to court.  Still dealing with the aftermath of my stupid, ugly divorce.

Anyway, I thought I knew what was going to happen.  I knew what I was going to say, I'd rehearsed the thing a few times, I was ready.

But nothing happened the way I thought it would.  Absolutely nothing.

So on my way home, I thought about how I'd prayed that morning and how I'd asked God to be with me and to work things out.

He must have really laughed at me.

Because He knew then that nothing I was praying for was going to come to pass because nothing I thought would happen came to pass.

See what I'm saying?

I was praying for an outcome that would never be realized because the day just wasn't set up that way.

At the end of that prayer, I do remember asking that His will be done.  That was my save.  Because even though things didn't go as I thought they would, I can rest in knowing that His will was done.

And I also rest in knowing that on yesterday, I gave God a really good laugh.  In the midst of everything else He has to deal with, I'm sure He appreciated that!

Have you ever made God laugh?  Have you ever plotted something out, only to realize that God had another plan?

Ha ha ha...Yes Gail I know God must often shake His head, like the knowing wise Father that He is; and say, She hasn't learned yet! Or how many times must I show my hard headed chikd that I am in control! I told this adult child Yvonne, to lean not to her own understanding, to trust me and what does she do? She gets emotional, joins groups that she thinks will last forever; puts people up on pedestals then can't understand why she had to move on. HEAVENLY FATHER GOD OF MY LIFE, GREAT JEHOVAH ELOHIM, JEHOVAH TSIDKENU, HALELUJAH, Halelujah! !I humbly and gratefully thank you with my whole heart! I thank you for your steadfast love and care. ..your mercy and grace are astounding! I love you with my whole heart and adore You.All this I say, and pray in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Amen!
Thank you Beautiful woman of God, my sister in Christ, Gail,...for giving me a place to share my thoughts! Love you much!

    Hello and Welcome to my blog!

    I'm a grown up "church girl" who is bouncing back from some hard blows, including an ugly divorce, financial hardship, and dreams deferred.  Now, more than ever before, I am embracing the idea of transformation and beautiful new beginnings. 

    Won't you take this journey with me?
