Praise Him in the storm

Who do you thank when something really awesome is happening or happens in your life?
For the longest time I just said "thank you" out loud, to no one in particular. Maybe it was the universe, or my husband or myself. Sometimes, but only sometimes, was it a genuine "thank you" to God. I am learning that when these awesome things happen, it's not karma, or the universe, or even myself, but it is God answering the prayers I've forgotten I prayed, showing me that He really is looking at me saying "my beautiful daughter, you are such a wonderful creation. I want to give you all the desires of your heart, if only you will trust in me."

Today I learned to trust in Him.

I have been praying for a certain thing to happen. And it has happened at least once a week for the last 3 months. And every week I ask for it again. Now let me tell you, this thing would definitely not happen if God did not have his mighty, powerful, loving hand over my life right now. So alas, I praise Him and have finally learned to trust in His ways and His timing.
Tonight on my ride home from seeing the Tibetan Monks perform (that was so cool!) I was thanking God for said thing that happened, and He spoke more loud and more clear than I have heard from him in so so long; And He said to me "Do you trust me, now?" I felt like doubting Thomas. God has been providing and changing things and moving the right mountains at the right time and all I've been doing is asking for more. More signs, more promises, more grace, patience, love and faith. All of which He's given me. But in time of crisis, how often do we really stop to Praise Him in the storm?

I have no job, no more school, I have no idea how to cook anything worth while, I am learning to do the grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning, pay bills, take the car to the shop, etc....and I love it! While the change in my life is hard to deal with, I am learning and growing so much. I am going to be such an awesome wife and mother! Do you know why? Because I am learning to Praise God in the storm, and He will honor my faithfulness to Him in such an awesome unfathomable way. AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR HIS PROMISES TO ABOUND!

So with that said, my week has been long and tiring. But today was so good. Dinner (mexican, yum!) with my wonderful, handsome husband, Tibetan Monk performance, and pumpkin betty dessert. I am seeing that every single day is weaved together by God Himself with such a huge plan, and so full of love for us, His children. He is always good, always right, and always on time.

Be blessed. <3
