Jesus Loves Me

I want to share a few things that God has done in the last day or so that have reaffirmed the fact that He loves me so very much.

1. In an attempt to organize my life, I was desperately in need of a planner. Finally, as I didn't know where to find one that would suit my needs, I just made my own out of a journal. It's working fine. The funny thing is, though, that last night I was at a family's house for dinner and I pulled out my "planner" to write something down. I explained to the family why I was using a journal instead of a planner, and the husband started giving me this weird look and asked, "so when did you make that?" I told him that I had made it the day before, to which he replied, "You are probably going to think this is weird, but last week, God told me to buy you a planner. I kept putting it off all week, and then yesterday as we were out shopping I was going to ask my wife if it was okay for us to stop and buy you a planner, but was too embarrassed, so I didn't." Wow, isn't that crazy?? God cared enough about a silly little desire to be more organized, that He actually would tell someone else to go buy me a planner!! Thank you Jesus, for caring about my life....

2. That same night, after I came home from the dinner, I was stressing about the cleaning that I still had to do. Living in the dorm with the girls, I'm responsible for a certain portion of the house cleaning every week, and the house gets checked on Thursday mornings. As I was walking up the stairs to our apartment, I was telling the Lord, "Lord, I know I have this cleaning to do, but I am so exhausted tonight (I wasn't feeling well), that I don't know how I'm going to get it done. Please help me, somehow." When I opened the door, I said hi to my roommate and told her that I would do my cleaning, but probably early in the morning because I was too tired just then. Well, she basically insisted that I go to bed and that she would do my part!! I was going to refuse, but God brought my prayer to mind, so I told her that I would LOVE the help. So she did all the sweeping and mopping for me!

3. Then, this evening I just got home and noticed my car was missing! That was strange for two reasons. First, I rarely loan my car out due to insurance reasons (Mexican's aren't supposed to drive under my insurance, I guess), and second, my car wasn't even starting due to no gas AND a bad battery... So when I noticed it was missing, I was very confused. A few minutes later, though, here comes my vehicle, RUNNING, amazingly. It turns out that the husband of the family that lives below me had put gas in my car for me, taken it to Auto Zone to check the battery, purchased a new one for me when he was told mine was trashed, AND is going to fix some of the cables that are messed up sometime tomorrow. All of these things were lingering on my to-do list, and I hadn't had time to even think about getting them done, so when I heard what he had done for me, tears started filling my eyes.

Jesus is so kind to us! "When I was in great need He saved me." Thank you, Lord.
