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

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

My Lessons Through Fasting

I joined my home church  in Texas for a 21 day fast and all though I did not fast food, I did however fast social media. Where technology can be a great tool in spreading the word and love of God, in the grand scheme of things I have learned it can also be an addicting crutch. Fasting has shown me what my priorities have become and through His grace I see where much correction is needed.  With one click of a button scrolling online for scripture and daily encouragement  became easier than time spent opening my bible and seeking God through His written word.  The ease of keeping up with family and friends through social media has taken over phone conversations and face to face visits.  I am guilty in justifying my time spent catching up through social media has more flexibility in my daily life, however it has become less personable. Time is a commodity, once gone, that can never be regain. It is is not a negative source as I have many loved ones spre...
