God is SOOOO GOOD

that being said…what’d He do today?

so today i woke up and said, “God, surprise me”

i think God likes surprises….at any rate…these past couple days, God has
been refining me and doing inner work…it’s been amazingly awesome as i
just see more of His heart, more of my sin, and more purification being
done…praise Him! and i didn’t really know that was what God was doing
until yesterday when i was talking with Sapna, and she was saying how
sometimes, the best moments are when it’s just you and God and He does house
cleaning

it’s like this song that we sang at shakina, old school, simple, but man, it
took on new meaning today…my weaknesses are being stripped away by the
power of His love!

Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I’ve found in You
*Lord I’ve come to know
The weakenesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love
*
~ chorus ~
Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I’ll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me
Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
By the power of Your love

i love sapna, i’m going to miss her so much when she’s in japan!

at any rate, the day was pretty awesome…classes were great, i saw lots of
people today, charley, tricia, jane, max, i-fan, imani, risen faith
girls…fellowship and sharing about what God is doing is so awesome! but
you know, God didn’t surprise me until the end of this day…

all of a sudden at shakina, i just felt this deep, physical pain on my
heart…i asked God what it was, and

He said, “someone has a broken heart”

me: where God?

God: odegaard

to odee i go…

me: what floor God?

God: third floor

after the third floor

me: left or right?

God: left

me: guy or girl?

God: girl

me: what color is she wearing?

God: green

so i look for a girl in green…and you know, i expect to see a tear stained
face or something…but nothing…i only notice one girl in green, so i ask
God, but don’t get a clear answer…so i think, i’ve made a mistake, and
begin to go downstairs, but God says go back upstairs, so i do…and then i
just kind of watch the girl…she gets up, and i know i just hafta risk it
and ask her…so she takes the elevator down, i run down the stairs…ask
her whether or not she’s emotionally hurting/physically hurting…and she
looks at me, and says:

girl: yeah, actually, i just broke up with my long-term boyfriend and i’ve
been crying alot…

me: *wow God*

so i told her how God told me and offered to pray for her…she said she had
to run, but i think she was really touched…we prayed for her at shakina
anyway after she left…

it’s a new thing God praise God! His love is sure extravagant…extravagant
enough to put a physical burden on one’s heart and tell them that God
cares…about everything in our lives…He really does! testify to His love!

all praise and glory to Him!!!

and, i even got home before 1 today praise the Lord!
