Trinkets

I love christian music. It always inspires me and encourages me, and also helps me to think of things in a different light. Through life we experience lots of different seasons; seasons we don't even know we will experience. Currently, my husband and I are in a big waiting season. There are lots of things we are in waiting about, but at the fore front is waiting for God to renew Brandon's health. He has been through alot, and has handled all of it with great courage and bravery, and I am constantly amazed and inspired by him and also how God is taking care of us. There are times when we feel very content, and are able to find peace that God is in control and he will continue to lead and guide us through this new journey of marriage, and health together. But sometimes, and I'm currently experiencing it this week, I am having trouble finding peace in that. But right when I feel like my peace is leaving, I pray a little harder and remember God's word and his promises that never leave, and he sends me a little trinket to fill a need.

Trinket # 1 he has sent me just this week, was a listening ear and it was such a huge encouragement. A friend of my mine came to me this week, and just told me how much Brandon and I had been on her heart and said she was praying for us, and it felt so good to just share in where we are in our journey right now.

Trinket # 2 I have this little boy in my class. When I found out he was in my class this summer I was mortified, and there are some days I am thinking "What in the world!" But most of the time, I am heartbroken for this little boy, and his mom. I am heartbroken that I think she is really is starting to try and be a good mom the best way she knows how, but nobody has ever shown her how to. Somehow God connected us, and has given us a good relationship and allowed for there to be moments of guidance. But this little boy, trusts me, and knows that I have his best intentions at heart and he doesn't trust people or that people can have his best interest at heart before their own, because most of his life his mom hasn't. And I just think, God thanks for that trinket to let me be that for this little boy, and let him see your love. Even though sometimes I don't respond the way that I should.

Trinket #3 Laughter. Brandon and I have great friends through our bible study and through our Sunday school class, and through others that have already been in our paths. We always have the best laughs with them, and it is good for the soul!!!

All this to say, God knows what you need and he will and is giving it to you!! Sometimes in small bits, and then sometimes the waiting is over and you get a full circle moment and see what God was doing all along. I am so thankful!!!
