A week ago Saturday the weather changed and i got rained on unexpectedly. It was such a fuss getting my hair back in ok shape for church the next morning. Halfway there it starts to drizzle lol, i begged God please, Father please no come on not again. I want to look good (i will always remember my gym instructer, Jason, drilling us hard. And while we're so hard at work sometimes he'll scream ''jy moet kwai lyk ook''), i am afterall representing U up there, let's not have crazy hair distract people from worship. And it stopped. The air dried up, but as soon as i reached destination a rain storm broke loose. I couldn't help but look up to the heavens and start laughing out loud. God has such a great sense of humor.
The proven lesson of the day was God answers even the silliest prayers if asked for honestly, openly and whole heartedly...and ofcourse within His will. I gues, lol, it's always in His will that His children looks good and presentable.
This silly prayer laid the foundation for a 2nd one only 2 days ago. Since i know now i can have a good laugh with God (with all due respect still ofcourse) i thought maybe i could pray for some milktart. Not any, my aunt Christolene's old school home made milktart. Later that evening i find myself at my cousin and sister's combined birthday party. No milktart. And i accepted that i'll have to settle for carrot cake. Towards the end of the evening and with my prayer forgotten im sniffing round the goodie table trying to squeeze in between the big ladies. And what do u know, into my hands they shove a tray with 2 pieces of MY AUNT CHRISTOLENE'S HOME MADE MILKTART! (i should've checked in the bedroom i guess) Another giggle, another halleluja, another thank you Jesus.
As i sit here now i realise while i was having fun with God He was teaching me valueble lessons.
1: give ur best to me, and i will shelter u from the storms, situations that tries to taint ur Christ-like image.
2: it's only over when I (The Lord) say so, not when your hope runs out. Just like the milktart your blessing is there, waiting, stop looking for it in the wrong places. Let ur faith lead u to it.
...I got yet another dissapointment today. Again, i think, but God knows best. Maybe its a sealed door. Not meant for me to walk through, maybe i should knock a little while longer. Only God knows.
But what i know is this, with the peace of the Lord inside me, (knowing that His will is best and His will will be done) this coffee sure taste GOOD.
