divine romance

Life is a funny thing.

As a Christ-follower, I am walking through life with the knowledge that everything that happens is working towards a greater purpose that I cannot see.

Today, I slept throught a test. A test for government. One out of the three tests I get to take this semester. I have never done this before. I know that this stuff happens to students, but its just never me. I am trying to not be too upset about it. Whats done is done. But it has made my day super crumby. Well, last night after our youth valentine service one of my students handed me a belated half-birthday card. I thanked her, but I had to put it away in my purse while I talked to some other girls. This morning I remembered that she had given it to me, but again forgot to open it. After sleeping through my test this afternoon, I came into work and as I sat down at my desk, I remembered the card. I opened it to find an amazing note along with a Starbucks gift card. It is in these moments that I feel like I can sense the timing of God. The gift meant so much more because of the moment at which I received it.
It was EXACTLY what I needed.

What an amazing thing. God knew [and cared enough] about my future that he planned ahead of time to make me feel better. To let me know that He is with me even when I make stupid mistakes. Through my tears, He wanted to see my smile.

I am being romanced by the King.
