A sweet surprise

Project #4 is complete and has a God story to go with it. 

I started this project last April when I purchased this chair. They said it would take six weeks to come in so I planned on redoing the front room in my house over the summer. I have always wanted a special quiet time space just for me. A place where I could have fresh flowers and candles, all my books, and my Bible and journal. 

In June the furniture company contacted me and said it would be months to get the chair because it was on back order. I finally got the call this week that it was coming Wednesday. I was so excited to start creating my space. 

At about 10am this morning our school’s secretary walked in my room with flowers! I was so surprised and had no clue who had sent flowers on this random day. As I read the card I saw they were from my good friend, Stacey. She has been a listening ear and a voice of wisdom as I have transitioned into a new district this summer. What a sweet surprise! 

Over the last few months all the books I have been reading have had the same central theme: Go Big. I’ve been praying big for my community, my family, my workspace, and my relationship with the Lord. Some might not consider today’s events big, but any encounter with the living God is huge. I love that as they moved in my chair this afternoon I placed fresh flowers on the table next to it. I wasn’t the only one excited about this space. God was too and even chose to participate in bringing my vision to life all in one day. His love for me is so amazing! 

I tell the boys all the time if God says do something, just obey. You never know how He will use your obedience to bless someone’s life abundantly. Thankful for Stacey for obeying.  I can’t wait to get up in the morning and meet with Him!
