Story Time about God’s Goodness

« Meaningful Mondays »

This is going to be a personal God experience random thought letter so bear with me. I will be sharing some God moments that have happened during the past week or so.

God. Is. Good.

God is so good. Plain and simple. It is hard to find words to describe how good, wonderful, and awesome He is. God is truly INDESCRIBABLE. This verse has become one of my favorites:

Ephesians 3:20, "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably

more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at

work within us" (NIV)

One of the reasons I love this verse so much is because I am seeing it play out in my daily life. It is amazing. Again and again I see God show up and blow my mind. He brings me to tears almost every day (or really close). Christ is working in my life and it is THE COOLEST thing that has ever happened to me.

Story time! Just last week I was on my way to get ready for prom when my mom gets the mail. A few moments later I find out that I won a scholarship. Yah! Praise God. It was such a surprise and joy to know that my hard work was paying off.

A few days later I was at work and taking a small break. I looked down at my phone for a moment and saw that I had won another scholarship. This one was larger than the other one and had required a lot more work. I was literally blown away. I broke out in tears of joy. I was overwhelmed.

One of my goals is to not go into debt while in college. These scholarships are an answer to many prayers. And I received two of them not simply one, which would have been good enough for me. But I guess God saw fit to bless me in this way.

I look back now and see how His timing for all of this was completely perfect. I had applied for several scholarships a few months ago and was now waiting. I waited some more and then learned that I did not receive a couple of them. That was kind of discouraging and I was close to just giving up the idea of receiving any when suddenly, out of nowhere, God comes and blesses my world.

So, that is the end of my little story. But my lesson to you all is: never give up. God is a good and He has so much planned for your life. He wants to bless you beyond your wildest dreams. Let Him be God and run your show. He will do a wayyy better job than you could ever do.

/ He is a Good God /

Blessings,
