When The Unexpected Derails The Train

I wrote the title for today's blog very early this morning.

Suffice to say when I wrote it I was not prepared for what God would surprise me with two hours later.

Just an inkling of where my head and my heart have been over the last 24+ hours as posted on my FB wall -

Someone once said that interruptions are God's opportunities......well I'm having difficulty with seeing it that way today.....I guess if I look at it as His opportunity to reveal my true heart for Him ... I get it .... and I see that I am failing big time ..... letting my feelings dictate my reactions .... not thinking... with the mind of Christ...argh! Not good! Help me Lord!...... (Yesterday, about 24 hours ago)
 
Oh precious faces - how personal is our God....He says to call to Him and He will tell us great and mighty things....within minutes of my cry for help, this lands in my in-box -
"Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always." ... -- J. I. Packer
How Great is our God.... (Yesterday - about 10 minutes after the above)
 
Hungering and thirsting this morning.....Lord, put your Word in my mouth today....the World's words don't taste so good. "He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna..that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord."   Deut. 8:...3 (6:00 AM this morning )
 
Hummmnn...I see a pattern..almost a path the Lord was putting before me - as if He was saying "keep looking at "ME" not the circumstances.  As I told Habakkuk when he cried out to me wondering 'How long Lord, are you listening'? Hear the same words to you my daughter -
'Look at the nations and be amazed! Watch and be astounded at what I will do! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it.'
 
I'll say .
