Serendipity Sightings

Serendipity Sighting Number 1:

 

I'm never looking for butterflies (unless I notice them and then run inside for my camera), but when I'm not expecting one and it flutters by alone or with a friend I think, "Everything is going to be okay."  It's my tangible sign from God that I beg for over and over again yet I just realized what it was!  This makes me happy.

I know I already told you about running into a old pal from High School...he wasn't really a pal, I just always longed to be in that group of friends, but I wasn't.  I had my own friends, it's just that we never did anything.  Not until Senior year was I being invited to places with my Junior friends.  They were awesome and made me feel special. 

ANYWAYS!  When I plan my day I normally make up scenarios where I run into someone.  I did that for when I went to the movies and some of the other places, but then when I stopped for lunch my mind was clear and wondering.  When I walked in I was like, "Well isn't this funny!"  But then my mind went soaring so I said my piece and blah blah blah I ate too much cheese and pretended to watch baseball (which is very hard to watch on TV by the way...I'd rather be there in person).  Then out the door I went. 

I think once you find something awesome and you never put it down, that's when it loses it's "importantness".  Since the break up I've been focusing my efforts on certain people and nothing is happening "right."  So, today I realize what has become and I set down my bags so that God can carry them for me.  Though, that doesn't mean God is going to pick all of them up because some might not be important at all.

I'm not quite sure why people fear God TANGENT!  Believing in God gets your head out of your ass for one thing (unless you're living life by the crusty words of the bible instead of living life to it's fullest), and God is the best listener and advice giver.  Why be afraid of believing in something bigger than yourself?  Why hold in your problems and instead shout them out loud?  Once you understand them even clearer then you can start to process them one step at a time.  Now, you don't get far asking for specifics because God obviously isn't going to just hand us WORLD PEACE and say "Sorry, y'all were just taking forever!" so always ask for what's best and thank God for all of the things you enjoy.  One simple thing to do when you start your day is to just ask God, "Please keep me calm during this day."  That was my prayer a couple weeks ago and all through work I felt amazing.  I sure didn't get my way that night via my phone conversation, but at the end of the day, I knew it was right.  I understood why I shouldn't press it anymore. 

GIVE AND RECEIVE LOVE!  That's what living is about.  If someone doesn't want to receive it, give it to them anyways.  Love just might conquer all.
