Joshua Chapter 3 (Response)

I have been blessed in many ways by God,
The greatest of which was salvation, or I thought it was for the longest time.
Until I realized, the greatest gift I received and keep receiving from God is love.

Is that corny and churchy? Yup! But I believe it is absolutely true.

Yesterday so many things went wrong during my day. But I just let them go. A work meeting got cancelled, a marriage counselling session I was heading for got postponed. (I didn't see this as a bad thing at the time) But god used those hurriedly changed plans for something amazing. Me and my fiancee had freed up our time for work and other things, and our cancelled plans suddenly found us together, and with free time on our hands. (Something we realized we had not had in a long time)

It seemed like our changed plans were a part of God's bigger plan.

And we talked like we used to, and then some. We shared our dreams and our fears. I ran into an old friend from school, and we stuffed our faces and talked until we lost track of time. Even on the way home, my trishaw broke down and I spent time talking with the driver and helping him fix it.

Looking back I knew yesterday that I was emotionally drained and God filled me abundantly with his grace. I felt like he was going before me in everything, and all I had to do was follow and the rivers would part. It was epic. Coincidence after coincidence and through it all, at the end of it I can't deny that god's will was done.

I absolutely believe that God was in control of all things yesterday.
I know that seems redundant because he is all powerful he is in control all the time.

But I'm just saying.
