I Got The Window Seat



This past week I flew to Colorado to be with my daughter when they finalized the adoption for my grandson. It was an amazing week spent with my family there; a moment in time I will forever cherish. When I booked my flight I forgot to pick my seat on my flight. Once I hit the button to purchase my ticket I remembered the window seat, I love the window seat. Sitting in front of my computer a bit of disappointment I felt knowing I would be seating in the aisle or the middle. " oh well" I told myself.  My disappointment left quickly as my excitement to see my family grew.

The day came for me to leave, arriving at the airport I whispered a prayer to the Lord for a safe trip and as an after thought, I told Him I'd love to have a window seat. After I receive my boarding pass, to my surprise I saw I indeed had the window seat and then to my delight realized I again had the window seat on my connecting flight in Houston as well.  My excitement  doubled, kinda like the getting a sundae with two cherries on top. Many will probably laugh at my child like excitement over a simple window seat, but there is more to it than just getting those seats. I saw past my request and saw the love of my daddy God giving His daughter the desire of her heart. 

Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

 Sitting in my seat high above the clouds, I snapped that picture. What a grandiose picture He painted for me and all who were on the plane, one which left me speechless. If He will  grant the simplest of desires, such as a window seat, how much more is He willing to give to His children?  His word tells us Jesus came to give us a life of abundance. ( John 10:10)
And that means even the smallest of request.

Window seats........

But here is the best part of His promise. Although He will give the desire of our hearts, that desire must be according to His will.  He has a plan and a purpose for each of us. Each is designed  with His special care. Maybe you have been wanting a new job and yet seem to be stuck in your current one with nothing new on the horizon?  Maybe it's a relationship your heart so desires? Or maybe you are longing for a change of scenery, wanting to move but yet can not for the life of you find a home in your budget. Do not be discouraged. The job you are wanting may not be the best financial move. The relationship you want, he or she may not be the one God has chosen for you. And the geographical location you are searching may not be the place He will have you put your roots down. He will give you the right job, right relationship, and right home.  Our desires come in His time, after all His will for our lives is the cherry on top, yes?

Oh and both flights home.......
You guessed it, I got the window seats!



Forever His Daughter,

Stacey

Touching The Hem Of His Garment

It's day 6 of my 21 day fast and I have discovered just how much I have relied on social media for my daily encouragement. It's so easy , one click of my mouse and it's there for me to see. A short cut of sorts, a quick fix in a world , my world, that is constantly moving and changing. But when I dig into my daddy Gods word, when I take the time to seek Him, the encouragement is more....So much more. Today I am encouraged by the woman who suffered with the issue of blood. For 12 years she suffered a life of misery and in her culture was considered  unclean. It was a chronic condition which means she probably had anemia as well as  physical weakness. She was hopelessly incurable by the many doctors she had sought out for medical care. She had become destitute for she spent all that she had. Everything and everyone who she would come in contact with would have become ceremonially unclean making her shunned by all in society including her family. Her husband probably

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the intent of replacing; replacing with those

When My Puzzle Pieces Do Not Fit

    Putting a puzzle together can be fun, enjoyable and somewhat a relaxing time when the pieces all fit correctly the first time.  However when it is a puzzle with thousands of little pieces that require a great deal of time trying to figure out what piece goes where it can become frustrating, at least for me. Many times I have had to rely on the box top picture to navigate me through the placing of each piece and even that process can be irritating. Eventually the pieces do all fit exactly the way they were created to fit and the perfect picture is formed.It is a victory of sorts for me as patience is not my best quality.  But what about when our life's pieces are not fitting together? I had this certain picture I created in my mind, a picture how my own pieces were to fit together, my perfect box top per say. However the pieces I chose I could not force them to fit. No matter how I placed them, pushed them together, they still would not connect. My box top picture was
