It has been a while! I can't say that I didn't have time because I have had plenty of time I guess I just haven't used my time to write on the blog. So often do we hear people say they don't have time..I know I say it, but we make time for the things we want to make time for. So if you're struggling with balancing time, ask God to help you balance things in your life. We are here until God is ready to bring us home, we are on His time :)
Today, I was driving in my car on my way to drop some things off at another campus for work. For some reason I was feeling a bit down and just started wondering about my life and why I was doing exactly what I was doing right now. So I started to talk to Jesus and I asked him, "Show me what it is you want me to get from this drive? (I am never really a fan of this particular drive and it was absolutely feeling annoyed about doing it.) That's when I knew I needed to ask Jesus because I didn't want to feel that way.
As soon as I finished asking that question, an ambulance at the intersection ahead of me made a left turn, on the side of it it said, MERCY.
I said the word out loud when I saw it. MERCY. MERCY....... I started to think about what Mercy was because I couldn't really come up with a definition in my head. I know that God gives us mercy, God is a merciful God, but what does that really mean? So I asked Jesus, what is Mercy?
I continued on my drive and finished up the work I was doing. I drove back into the city and met up to have lunch with a great friend who was away for a month! After lunch and on my way home when I was pulling up to my house, the song on the radio caught my attention. The words I heard were, "When mercy found me." I sat there and thought to myself, God is answering my question from before, through this song. And sure enough He was. This song helped me to understand today what Mercy is. I'm excited about what else God is going to bring in my life to show me the meaning of Mercy. For all I know this is the beginning of something more.
Here's the song, I hope that you listen to it and I pray that it reaches your heart like it has reached mine. :)
