I've decided to start journaling again. I've missed some really awesome memories because I stopped journaling 2 years ago.
Anyways, I have a really insignificant story to tell. For the past few years I've been praying for a friend. Sometimes I would cry to Lee and he would pray for me. Sometimes I would just say "God I need a friend."
Now this is not to say that I don't have some already amazing friends. At my bridal shower I had over 20 girls there that I know love me and I love them too. I have good friends.
Yet I still found myself praying for a friend. Please God. Give me a friend. I just felt something missing.
Guys. I made a friend.
A few months ago God kept telling me to introduce myself to this girl at my church. I figured she was in her mid 20s because her husband looked to be in his late 20s. I ignored Gods promptings thinking "God I need a friend. This girl will not be my friend. I need a friend. Please send me a friend." I never introduced myself. I'm too shy for my own good.
This girl and I have crossed paths now. She is one of my closest friends. She always says she wished we would have known each other sooner. She's moving right after I get married and then I'm moving in August. Maybe we'll both move to Houston. Who knows? She's 21 just like me. A newly wed just like I will be.
I love this girl, y'all. Like, Lee should be worried she's gonna steal me.
God is good. He knows what is good for me. He wants me to have what is good for me. Today I listened to this radio podcast and the pastor compared God to the GPS voice lady. God has a plan for us and sometimes we miss it. When we miss it he doesnt get angry. He "recalculates route". He is sad for us that we missed what was our best option. But he still showers us with his love. God loves me so he gave me Annie. How insignificant is a girl friend to the God who created the universe? Not insignificant. Very significant. He wants for me because he loves me. If I had listened maybe I could have had her for a long time.
I wonder what else God has told me to do but I just wasn't listening. I wonder how many times I've turned off my GPS thinking I knew the way and I didn't.
Annie told me that God told her he wanted to heal this man she saw at the HEB. Later she got very upset because she was too bashful to ask him if she could pray for him. I calmed her and told her that God only wanted to share his desire with her. He wants what is good for that man.
God wants what is good for me.
Anyways... Annie showed me this video and I think it's neat. I really love God. And my husband to be, Lee. And Annie and Matthew. God really knows what is good. He knows what is good for me. This is such a simple truth that is really bamboozeling me right now. Which is why I'm blogging.
How can we not see that God has what is good for us?

“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11
