Overwhelmed.

I don't believe overwhelmed is the right term. You know after football games when the players pour the gatorade all over their coach and he gets soaked? Well, I feel as if God has dumped buckets and buckets full of grace over my head and I am just standing under it, overwhelmed, crying saying "God why are you doing all this for me?" I'm serious...everytime I'm like God, this is too much He does something else. It's one thing to theologically intellectualize the idea of "grace" it is another thing to come face to face with Grace and it gives you a big ole' sloppy kiss on the face!!! I can give you about 3949483828 ways just THIS week that God has just given to me..in the most random..and kind ways. He is soooooo good and He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. If everyone could know, if they could just KNOW IT. He is so perfect. I'm so grateful..I'm so grateful. Here are only a few testimonies, I could write an entire book on God's blessings just this week:

1. (The Little Things): Today I needed yet ANOTHER text book. I have no money so of course I would have to "Charge it." I went on amazon, looked it up, went to pay and it said "Oops..we could not process your order" (or something like that). I was ill, thinking I really need this book now. I tried ATLEAST 10-15 times and FOR NO REASON it just wouldn't work. So I was like fine, I give up. I went to dinner tonight and a girl beside me was like hey, have you ordered such and such book for our class and I was like no and she says "Okay, don't. I want to give you mine, I have an extra." I was like :-O! THANK YOU LORD.

2. On Friday our teacher instructed us to come pick a packet before the afternoon for homework. I went with a friend and COMPLETELY forgot and the building was locked. I tried and tried to find someone in my class but there was no one around all weekend, they all went home. So then this girl who works in the lib. was like hey you can make a copy of mine. So I went and as I was looking at it (lastnight) I was thinking I will never be able to do this, it looks like a foreign language!! I was feeling sick, and it getting late and I was like Lord what do I do. Someone over heard me talking (One of my guy friends) and was like "HEY! I want to help you, I know how to do it!" He sat with me for 3 hours and helped me with homework, for no reason, just because!!!

3. If you know me, you know I am terrible at managing money. You also know I have been praying to find a Church for 4 years here at school. So I find a Church and I am asking the Lord to get me plugged in. They announce on Sunday that they are offering a small group on Financial Peace with Dave Ramsey. I thought: "PERFECT!!" They said but it costs over $100.00, but don't worry you'll get that back through doing this study. I thought, I don't care what I get back I don't have $5.00 to my name! Without even thinking more about it...I get a call today and was told that anonymously someone has paid for me to take that class! I started weeping and asking God, why? I don't deserve any of what you are giving me!!!!

I am overwhelmed and BELIEVE ME...it's just The Lord because I did nothing to earn any of this. I just want to say how GOOD He is!!

How great is the goodness You have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, Blessing them before the watching world.
Psalm 31:19
