Luv.

Over the past 36 hours or so, I feel like God has been really reaching out to me during all of the stuff I've been going through. I've seen it through signs, like people who I haven't spoken to in a while sending me a bible verse text out of no-where that I needed to read. And being reminded of a sermon that was preached 2 Sunday's ago that now seems really relevant in my circumstances. And then this morning, waking up and turning on Joyce Meyers on tv instead of I Love Lucy (Hey, I just wanted some funny background noise.... & I Love Lucy ROCKS) and hearing Joyce talking about abuse & betrayal and lack of trust. I was totally caught up in her when I heard her say the verse of Psalm 27:10, which says

"My mother and father have walked out and left me, but God took me in."
(The Message version)

"Even if my mother & father leave me, the Lord will take me in" - (Easy-to-Read Version)

"When my mother and father forsake me, the Lord will take care of me." - (New King James V.)

I've never even noticed that scripture before in the bible and it made me feel peaceful and loved my God. I felt like it wasn't a coincidence that I hear it; it was meant for me this morning. That no matter what I am facing, what the enemy [Satan] brings my way to destroy me and break me down, that God sees it and he will be there for me when I need His love.

I didn't end up making those Thanksgiving turkey cupcakes for J's class... I've just been seriously too busy & overwhelmed with stuff. Boo... I wanted to make them! Tomorrow I'm going to make a pumpkin cheesecake w/ caramel swirl for Thanksgiving at the Meyer's house. We were invited to have Thanksgiving with Mark & Mary Meyers; Mark is the pastor of the chuch we go to.


I hope everyone out there has a memorable Thanksgiving. <3
