Text Message

I had gotten back this evening from hanging out with a friend for most of the day, and then I looked around at the disaster in my apartment.  There was cleaning to do and dishes to be done,  unfilled boxes scattered the living room floor that really need to be getting filled, and then my history book where 1 out of 13 chapters is completed and everything is due August 1st.  My heart started racing and I began to cry.  I was freaking out, about everything I needed to do and the time I didn't have. ...And then my phone went off.

I looked and it was Melissa from my Philippians bible study.  It was simply the verse about how you shouldn't be anxious in anything (Philippians 4:6 if you want to go read it).  My heart jumped out of my chest and if I wasn't crying before I was in that moment.  Not because I was freaking out but because God just wrapped me in His arms and said "You're doing fine"  I couldn't believe it. I have no doubt God was speaking through Melissa in that moment and not just to me but to several of the other girls too.

What an amazing experience. I couldn't believe it. God knew just what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it and He sent his message in just the right way.  I don't know if I can explain it other than it almost feels like God himself texted me.

What a blessing it is to have these ladies from this bible study in my life, I can't begin to explain the work I see God doing in all of us as group. I am just so blessed.
