A Red Velvet Cake Life

Hey peeps!  Speaking of, don't you hate those little marshmallow peeps at Easter?  Yuck.

Anyhoo...

I have to tell you about my night... last night...  Actually, let's start off with yesterday.  I wrote a blog yesterday saying how my heart really wants a change within, as well as a change in the community, the church.  Or perhaps just a greater awareness of ourselves, if you may.  Most of us have the right intentions, but we don't take a close enough look.  Just read the last blog...

So then I get to choir rehearsal last night, which was absolutely awesome.  Plus, I joined the Alto Section.  Holla!  So nice to switch back over.  Of course I was called a "traitor" by some... ;0  But anyway, God just really provides of what you ask when you truly believe that He will.  He showed me so much during our worship set last night that I was overwhelmed with the awareness of what needs to be done in our community, the church, and my own heart.  He is so good, and He hit me so hard with goodness and excitement!  It was such a beautiful, peaceful and somehow an informative insight to what God wants to do if we just allow Him too.

After rehearsal, 4 other ladies and myself had a heartfelt sharing and prayer time.  Thank you, God, for ordained communication, especially with those of the same sex.  I love my ladies!

Then later on that night, my husband and I had a great conversation with a friend of ours that God was in the midst of.  I love it when He does that, don't you?  When you just allow yourself to sit back and really listen, not to just have something to agree about, but to do all you can do help the other; when you let yourself just listen, it's amazing what God will show you.  He will show you ways to help that person, even if it's just a listening ear, or to be a part of their lives.  And He also tends to show us things about ourselves that we had been asking Him to show us, and by loving others, He will love us right back.

It sounds so easy, doesn't it?  Then why do we always have to make it so difficult?  Why do we always drag the crap in and smell up everything?  Why can't we all just smell like cake?! ;)

Be full of cake today.  Fill 'er up!  May your spiritual body be full of an enormous amount of velvet cake, and your physical body shake with what the Good Lord gave ya because of all the excitement (and sugar) inside!

I have a scripture for you today full of caressing love!  If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if ay fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy thinking the same way, having the same love, sharing the same feelings, focusing on one goal.  Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.  Everyone should look out not [only] for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.  Philippians 2:1-4
