Mmmmm, Good!

The title is a quote from one of my pastor's songs. The lyrics of the lick of the song go something like:

You're Good
So Good
Mmmm, Good
Real Good


lol That is what I was thinking tonight: MY GOD IS GOOD! Although good seems a little less than fitting for the level of His wonderfulness in m life. God totally surprised me, tonight. He is so sweet, I could seriously cry. I won't though, I will just write about what happened tonight.

It has been a long time since, I first heard about this concert (TobyMac, Barlow Girl, Thousand Foot Krutch) I went to Victory Christian Center back in August and saw it in one of their bulletines. I told God that I really wanted to go to that concert. I asked Him if He would make a way that I could go. Later, I even confessed that I am going to get to that concert. This was a few weeks ago.

Then I thought I would not be able to go because of showcase, but it turned out that I was wrong on the dates. This past week, I called my mom and asked her to send me money for the concert. She sent me money, but it went into the wrong account. So I thought that I would not get to go again. But then when she did get the money switched to the right account, I found out that it was too late to get tickets from Victory's book store, where they were 17 without extra fees, and I did not have enough money to get two tickets, plus the extra fees. So then Sara was going to get the tickets. She had the money, and everything, but it was not to happen. The card did not work. So I was like, "Oh well, maybe we don't need to go to this concert." And Sara goes, "Well, I don't understand, but everything happens for a reason." So we decided we would get a blanket and sit outside of Victory and listen to the concert.

When we got there, Sara insisted that we walk around the building first, as to not look suspicious. Then we realized we had to stand in front of the church to hear the band. (Barlow girl was playing. They sing one of Sara's favorite songs) So Sara stood with her foot in the door, and I suggested that we just go on in. So we decided to go the bathroom. We kind of just walked through and out again. Then we sat down in two chairs outside the auditorium. We figured if they asked us to leave we would. Sara wanted to get a better look so she walked up a little bit from me. Then this lady wearing a white shirt came up to me and said, "Do you have a ticket?" I answered, "No ma'am." I was really scared she was going to tell us to go. But instead she said, "I have a ticket if you want it." And I told her, "Well, I am here with my friend." And she spread out two tickets and handed them to me. I was Sooooooo excited. I jumped up and said, "Oh my goodness! Thank you so much," and gave her a hug. Then I was like, "Hey Sara," and she turned around. And I waved the tickets, "We've got tickets!!!" It was amazing!

After Barlow girl, there was an intermission, and we got a chance to talk about it. Sara was saying how she had not understood why we could not get tickets, but now it made sense. She told me how she had been praying, and I told her how I had asked God to get me to that concert a long time ago. It amazes me. The way God does things. It really does. I am so grateful to be His kid. I have the best Father in the world.

Thank You Father
For Your Faithfullness
Thank You for answering prayer.
Thank You for being an awesome provider.
Thank You for being faithful
Even when I am not.
Thank You for wonderful friends,
friends who love and praise You,
For trees to fellowship under
For everything.
Thank you for reminding me tonight,
that You love me, and You care about
my needs and You care about my wants.
There are not words enough to describe
my gratitude, not just for concert tickets,
but for the what they represented. Your love
for me. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for calling
me Your own. Thank You for never ever taking it back.
I trust you Lord. Help me to trust You more.
You alone are my source.
I love you.

That's all I wanted to blog about right now. Peace and love to all my readers. God loves you. He loves us all. And His love is so sweet. Don't believe anyone that tells you any different. God is not an idea, or a nice thought. He is real, and you don't know anything about love, until you meet Him. That's all.

God bless,

Roz
