To be honest, I have for a while now thought that my blog was meant to be filled with the deep revelations I have been or am receiving as I continue my walk with Jesus. The reality is, sometimes, they just need to be about what is happening. Like, I want to share with you about my day yesterday. It started off with me taking my Jeep in to get a little work done. Balancing, tire rotation, alignment. You know, the things you can't do on your own really. Well, while walking back to the Un iversity I had this thought, and I thought to myself that I should buy some new clothes. Which though true, is an odd thought for me. Because I hate shopping, and I find it hard to spend money on my personal appearance. If I were to be honest with myself it might be deeper than I just don't have the money. But I digress. So I had this thought, and I shook it off. Namely because I just don't feel the need to buy clothes when I need to do things like, pay for my outreach. Hahaha.
So I continue throughout my day having disregarded my thought, when a few of my friends came to me and asked if I was free in the evening. They were being discreet. Yet very direct on the fact that I needed to clear my schedule for them. So I agreed and said in the evening that I would be free for them. I don't know, I didn't think much of it. I thought they might just want to talk. So After dinner, we piled in to the car these girls are renting and began to drive. Now I was curious. I was wondering what adventure was going to unfold. After making a series of unnecessary turns we ended up at Ross. My friends looked at me and said they wanted to bless me with a new wardrobe. When I say that, I mean new wardrobe. New shirts, pants, shorts, socks, shoes. It was mind blowing.
Obviously I had to try things on, and for once in my life I enjoyed it. I felt fresh, I felt alive, I felt confident! When it was all said and done, I was beside myself. All my friends could say was that they really loved me and they wanted to be a blessing. They didn't know that I had been thinking about new clothes. They didn't know that this really would speak to my heart! Which it did.
I woke up this morning and put on a brand new outfit. Everything they bought is, well, it's snug. If you know me, you know that I wear baggy clothes. So this is definitely a new thing for me. The Lord even spoke to me about it. God said that I have been hiding behind baggy clothes.
So now I feel like a million bucks. I've got new clothes and that is amazing. But even more than that, I am beginning to find a new confidence in me that I had been shying away from. It is incredible how what's on the outside can depict what is on the inside. I just hope that I continue to remain a blessing to others as God has truly been a blessing to me!
Now to those ladies that went out and spent time and money on me, I am so grateful for you! I do feel loved, and even more than that I feel appreciated. So thank you! You have done for me something that I didn't really know how to do for myself!
And that my friends, is a little glimpse into what has recently happened in my life. Amen!
