God is GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

31 07 2009

there is no way people really should believe there isn’t a God.

last night KC and i took our bikes out for a ride.
we went around our neighborhood and then to University Mall.
i practiced for a while and KC took off around the area.
we met back up and went down burgess road to woodham high school and back.

we rode around for about 20 miles altogether.
it was fun!!!

well, today at about noon i asked KC for a card.
he couldn’t find his wallet.
it’s not like him to lose it. it has never even slipped out of his pocket.

he started to panic.

we ventured out to go find it after i did a little convincing.
KC was very distraught to think that he lost every major card and some money.
heck… i would be, too!
i told him to start praying as we left to go seek it.
he prayed that God would just show us where it is and we believed it was found.
all i could think about was the school, but we started in the neighborhood and covered our tracks.

the whole time we were doing this i really wasn’t looking.
the school… the school… that is all that kept repeating in my mind.

so, i told KC i wasn’t even going to try the mall parking lot.
we were going to woodham.

i think it to be no coincedence i gave KC that particular wallet.
it is so colorful because it looks like a comic book all folded up.
it’s a mightywallet. you should check them out. they’re really neat!
you don’t even know how much white paper debris i saw out there.
had it been mine… we would have been stopping every 10 feet
because mine looks more like a newspaper.

we went down burgess road. it’s pretty much a series of hills.
and on top of that, it didn’t just rain last night… it poured.
all i could look at were the gutter drains. ugh.

we were coming up on woodham high school and i knew it.
I KNEW IT!!!

i went into the entrance for the bus pick up and came up to the exit…
and there… all mushy and wet… full of dirt and gunk…

it was KC’s wallet.
intact and looking like a wadded up comic strip.

no other explanation than our Jehovah Jireh!

no other explanation than our Jehovah Jireh!

of all the other places it could have fallen out,
the parking lot, the street, the neighborhoods,
it fell out when we left the school last night.
you see, i left and KC had a little trouble with his bike
and couldn’t get it to start up right away.
i called him up because i had made it back to the mall and was worried.
it must have fallen out when he answered his phone.

and honestly, the fact that it doesn’t look like a wallet probably has something to do with it not being picked up.
it looked like any other trash on the road.
but with all the rain, i am surprised it didn’t get washed into the drain nearby.

thank you, Lord. thank you for protection and provision.
we love you so very much.





amazingness and newness

meet red rocket... he's a 1979 honda cb650

meet red rocket... he's a 1979 honda cb650

i know i know… silly name. but that is ok for my little motorcycle.

things are going at a crazy rate here in the life of the Mitchells.
i think i am still confused as to how KC and i really got our motorcycles.
it seems that God really did “pave” a road and a way for us to be unbelievably blessed.

i really wonder sometimes why He is so good to us.

and although i really feel very not worthy of such things,
i know that He is really glad that we are being obedient and listening to Him.

lately, KC got baptized in the ocean and then he started using his prayer language more.
and boy… did God show up big.

about a week ago, he was praying out loud and the Holy Spirit gave him some words to say to a friend.
he really didn’t know what it was all about and honestly, he was pretty reluctant to tell him.

it pretty much went like this:

“hey man, i don’t know exactly what this means,
but God told me to tell you that He is going to give you a position of purpose
and He is going to use you so much more
and require more of you in this new thing He wants for you to do.
and also, that He is going to allow you to love more
and to just pour out His love to His people…”

our friend was astonished.

he then told KC that he is going to take a position at the church he attended
that would give him more responsibility and really push him to be a better christian.
and also that there were some foreigners that were attending the church
that were having a hard time with learning english quickly,
so their pastor told them that the best thing to do is to just show them that they genuinely love them.

wow.

if that isn’t speaking in tongues at work… i don’t know what is.
not to mention just what i have been learning lately on my own.

God is so good.

you see… that not only was a word for our friend…
but for myself as well. and i don’t think my husband even knows that right now.

i have been crying for God to use me more.
that i will be more bold and that i would get back to just bathing in His Word daily again.
so, that i can be His trumpet… no… His mouthpiece.

i want to do more. i want to love more.
and goodness… He really has been rocking my world since i prayed for it.

this morning i was waiting for my car to get fixed.
my door hasn’t locked properly for over six months.
and God finally blessed us enough financially
(actually overabundantly since KC and i BOTH got motorcycles)
for me to get it done.

SO, i am at the honda “healership” (yeah… i know… ridiculous. couldn’t help myself)
and having quiet time to the best of my ability.
i read through I Timothy again because we’re studying it for PB’s bootcamp.

but then i felt lead to read the book of Philippians.

and this is totally for me… for NOW:

Philippians 1:9 (New Living Translation)
“I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.”

i had this spoken to me at the healing room last week.
paula and bob pretty much told me that God is moving and growing me,
like a tulip that is budding and will pretty soon have a bloom,
so that i will be His mouthpiece and love His people.

i kept reading:

Philippians 2:13 (New Living Translation)
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”

doooooooooood… i am totally loving what God is doing and pray that i continue to be obedient and see Him through all of this amazingness and newness that He has written before time. i want it all to come to pass and i want to see His glory at the end of my story.

amen.
