So my whole schedule for blogging kind of fell to the wayside, but I had a full last couple of weeks of family and I don't regret that one ounce. But even if I wasn't working on this series, God was. Something extraordinary happened to me this last week; an event that met my goals and showed me how much I am worth in God's eyes. Last Thursday, the day before my birthday, I was driving down the highway and my car was shaking badly and making an awful sound. I knew I had to get off the highway right away, so the next exit I saw I turned off. Just as I was doing that, the front end of my car fell forward and I saw my tire rolling down the highway. I slammed on my breaks and somehow made it to the side of the off-ramp. What could have happened? I could have lost control and wrecked, possibly getting hurt or killed. My tire could have launched in the air and gone through someone's windshield. What did happen? I called my dad (who happened to be in town), I called a tow truck, I called my boss. The tow truck and my dad came up behind me on the off-ramp an put on my spare tire. My dad was able to drive my car to a shop and get it fixed and I drove to work in my dad's car only 45 min late. You better believe that I was thanking God all day long. The most amazing part of this story is that the night before, I was laying in bed praying and I suddenly thought of my car so I prayed for it and prayed for safety. Can you believe how the Holy Spirit anointed me with this insight? My God protected me with ferocity, allowed me to see Him working in my life, and reminded me I still have purpose on this earth. One of the most scary moments in my life showed me just how real and faithful my God is! I just want to marinate in this truth. So when I said I wanted to leave my goals open for my God to reveal them as He pleases, I didn't picture this, but that's why God is God and I am not.
What I wanted to focus on now is my relationship with God. This is the foundation of my life and if I want to be a strong Christian and affect this world, I need to always start with God. Therefore, I really want to strengthen my knowledge and perspective of Him and build a real relationship with Him. Here's what our Ephesians 4-5 section says:
