God is Awesome!!

"God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help in trouble"
Psalm 46:1
"He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds"
Psalm 147:3


In my sunday school class yesterday Mrs. Karen taught from the book called "Captivating" by John Eldridge. The title of the chapter was Wounded or something like that. She read through aome different verses about how God is there to rescue you and to fix you when your broken. Also that what happens in your life shapes who you are. One of the verses was Jeremiah 29:11 which is one of my fav verses because it lets me know I do have a purpose and that God is on my side you know. So anywho, another verse was Pslam 147:3. Lately i have been dealing with a lot and i kinda just kept what was going on to myself and didn't tell God. which of course is dumb. On Thursday night I did finally just give it all to God and he binded my wounds. So I thought that was really awesome.
When I was in middle school, we still did the VBS thing and Bro. Mike Lewis was our leader person. I think that like everyday we had to learn a verse or something and for Psalm 46:1 we made it into a song and I have never forgotten it. So Sunday morning I was singing the little song thing in my head too.
I said all that to say this: Last night I was catching up on some quiet times that I do and the title was "When We Stumble". And the closet thing ever was the main verse was Psalm 46:1. Pretty cool right?? The passage in the book talked about sometimes we face hard times (yeah I was) and that God is always there protecting us and the next line was Psalm 147:3. (equally cool). So anywho, it was really cool how all those things kinda went together and it was just another reminder of camps in the past and "little taps on the shoulder" God gives us to let me know He is listening
