In Even This, Emily Freeman tells how much she loves the ocean. Things have been hard. Emily goes for a walk along the beach and the thought comes, "What do you need God to be?" It's a strange question...not what does she need God to do, but what does she need God to be. She thinks for a bit. She needs God to be great, bigger than her trials. She needs God to be generous and abundant. She needs an abundance of blessings. She prays and asks if it is okay for her to ask God to be great, generous and abundant. She feels peace. She feels like she needs to remember this conversation. She decides to find a seashell to remember the conversation. She'll put it in her windowsill as a reminder. She wants to find a sand dollar...they are her favorite. She begins to walk and to look, asking God to help her find a sand dollar. She looks and finds many sand dollars. She takes them back and lines them up on a towel. She's never found so many sand dollars in a trip to the beach--75! Then the thought comes, "Remember you asked for one." God was great and generous and abundant. He IS great and generous and abundant!
Lessons Learned: God is great and generous and abundant.
We can trust Him with whatever is happening in our life.
Prayers are heard and answered!
