Contented and a few other things

The other day I was struggling with just feeling overwhelmed by the way culture is etc and I felt the Lord's presence in a great and powerful way..I then got in the car to go to work and a song came on the radio that I've never heard of before called "the Goodness of the Lord"..I just needed that reminder that God is still good in the not so good world that we are currently living in ever since the fall of Adam and Eve the world isn't perfect and won't be until Christ comes back. I then get to work and park my car and look down and it says "333" which is the miles listed until I run out of Gas (see previous postings about that number). Defintely a God wink! Someone I know (not going to name names) has been struggling with being contented in their job..they don't like it and want to change..My mom gave me a book that she got in the airport talking about being a Man of God and she thought of this person and got it for them but then she had me look at it and then i just randomly turned to the page on contentment and it talked specifically about not being happy in your job etc but you can find the joy in God and he brings you contentment when you can't find it. About a day or two goes by and when I woke up on this particular day the Holy Spirit was putting words in my head about Contentment and He said.."Nothing in this world will ever bring true contentment as things and people will always let us down eventually..however true Joy/contentment comes from the Father and he desires to give this to everyone who believes/has relationship with him..(it goes back to living in a fallen world)..You think that by changing jobs or moving to a new location will bring you happiness but you will find things that will disappooint you such as increase cost of living, too much traffic, people that annoy you or that you don't get along with..you see nothing in this life is perfect except for Jesus Christ who is completely holy and pure and paid the penalty for our sins so that we as unholy people can have a right standing with God the Father so we can live for all of eternity.." Wow...So very true...So let this be an encouragement to all of you...stop filling our lives with stuff or trying to find the next best thing when really he's standing right in front of you..all you have to do is accept him..We can never fill the empytiness or discontement with things as like he said these things are temporary and will let us down...So fill your life with a loving relationship with the Father as he will supply all your needs!

Surprise Flowers and other miracles

I was having a hard day earlier this week and my sweet friend sent me a publix delivery and I sent her a pic of all the goodies (2 bouquets of flowers, 3 gum, 1 chocolate candy bar, 1 thing of ice cream). She then said : "I didn't send that"..I thought well then maybe they sent the wrong order..she said no I sent you those things just not the roses or the extra gum (1). So I got 3 roses that she didn't send (pink in color). I also got 2 pieces of werthers candy and a note from the driver who delivered the stuff which never happens..just a thank you note..so the candy along with the chocolate is 3..so 3 roses, 3 packs of gum, and 3 candies equals 333!!! I felt God was saying "I'm with you and I will see though!" God is so awesome like that!!! He always knows what we need when we need it! Then during the week my daughters car had all her sensors light up and I thought oh no..that's going to cost some money..I then started praying and the next time she got in her car the sensors were all off!!!! Power of prayer!!! I woke up the other day and went downstairs into the kitchen and I sensed a rainbow outside...I tried to look for it but could't see it .. I then felt well I'm sure someone will post to facebook or send me a message of it..well maybe 30 min later I get a text from my friend Julie of a rainbow!!! God is great!!!

"The Best is yet to Come"

Last week our pastor preached on the new vision for our church which is all about reaching others etc and building more churches and speading the good news..he was talking about the future and how Jesus is coming back and eventually we will live life in heaven and he said "the Best is yet to come". I was taking care of a patient yesterday and she had a shirt on that only said "The Best is yet to come." Wow!! When God wants you to know something he usually repeats it several times. Also my friend and I felt convicted to do the respect Dare to help with our marriages and one of my friends who was going to do it with us states she didn't feel God was calling her to that right now which was fine..so then we were going to wait for her but then I was at my friends house and we were talking about marriage and she recommended "the crazy cycle" on youtube which is about love and respect..I then felt convicted by the holy spirit to do the respect dare so we will start this week. It's great how God communicates and reiterates what he wants you to do. We just have to have eyes and ears open and be receptive!!

Rainbows

It's been awhile since I posted. I try to remember to get on here to document all tht things God is showing me. I just recently took a trip to Chicago and while we were on the boat tour I felt like there was going to be a rainbow and the next 5 min there was one but it was really faint..but then it kept growing in size and kept getting brighter and by the end of it it turned into a DOUBLE RAINBOW!!!!! It was truly amazing!!!! Then the other day I was working at the hospital and passed by the EMS doors and I saw the light hitting just right outside and sensed there was a rainbow so I told my co workers I'm going to go outside and look for the rainbow and I didn't see it so was disappointed but then I said I know there will be one and maybe Ill see it on facebook. About 20 min passes and My friends who were at the beach down the street sent me a rainbow that appeared. They later told me that they had prayed for a rainbow for me (they were looking at clouds at the time and thought of me as that's sometimes how God communicates and then my friend Julie said, I'm going to pray for a rainbow for Jenny, she then prayed, looked up and there was the rainbow! God is soooooo Great!!! Here is the rainbow in Chicago and the one at the beach respectively!!!
