God Knows What We Need

Wow!!  What a week!  This has seriously been one of the craziest weeks that I have had (in a really good way).

I don't exactly know how to describe all that has gone on, but I am very very grateful and my heart is so full.   All I can say, is that God answers our prayers in the ways that we need.  And he ALWAYS sends his reply to us in the way that we will best receive.  For me, the way that God sends his love and help is through my friends.  I have been more than blessed with friends, roommates, friends or family members of friends, the list goes on, of people who I can relate to in one way or another about being sick and really just trials in generally.  This week God showed mercy and love by sending more of these people into my life.  At first, it can actually be startling for me when I realize some of these seemingly coincidences of people placed in my life who can empathize with me.  But then I immediately remember that God is really with us all of the time and to never doubt his power or ability to help us in ANY way.

I am also learning just how important and crucial it is for all of us to manage our emotions, stress, sleep, anxiety, you name it.  We all have more capability of control over our emotions than I think we give ourselves credit for.  This week I got really excited about a lot of things in life, (haha), and I am yet again reminded of how important it is to take good care of ourselves, starting with our emotions.


As I type this tonight, I am still in awe at God's goodness, love, and ever presence in our lives.  And I am so grateful.
