Finding God in unexpected places.

This has been a very difficult week. It seems like it has been a huge pile on of circumstances which have knocked me back down the hole I have been trying so hard to get myself out. The divorce, financial struggles and uncertainty about the future have kept me from focusing on the positives.

A mom, a sister and a client have reminded me of God's presence in my life and I need to continue to focus on his plan for me. Mom reminded me there is hope in every situation, to keep my chin up and remember I have a family who loves me and will support me as I work through the difficulties of my circumstances.

My sister reminded my there is support in places I dared not ask. A gift from her love helped me out of a tough situation. This was came very unexpectedly and I sense God used her to help me understand he works through the people who care for me. Indeed God showed up where I least expected.

During a consultation this week I had a client help me realize I need to be in God's plan. I have been trying to force my plan into what God really wants me to do. She helped me to realize I need to allow God to control my future and I need to be quiet and listen and more importantly respond to what he is asking me to do.

She gave me two very simple prayers. The first, "Lord, I need to be doing what you are blessing." and second, "God, give me your heart and allow me to be in a receiving spirit."

In my struggles this week I have found God working through those who love me and care about me. It has allowed me to find contentment in my current situation and renewed my hope in God's plan for my future.

Blessings come when we allow God in our life, sometimes when and where we least expect it.
