The Promise

Several months ago, I read the most amazing book called "The Promise" by Robert J. Morgan. The funny thing about the way this book found me is, I was looking for a book by Joel Osteen, who was my only form of "going to church" for over a year because my previous job had me traveling every weekend for 9 months out of the year. At any rate, I knew from that deep down, hotel room loneliness feeling, that I needed a Joel Osteen pick me up. At this point in time however, I had that deep down broke feeling so I saw this bright yellow book, right next to Joel's for less money. The title grabbed me, but the subtitle was how I knew we were meant for each other. I had been reminding myself of Romans 8:28 over and over again while I have been going through this not so fruitful season. The book was amazing. I felt encouraged.I told everyone about it.

Only now do I realize, that I was using that book as a pick me up, instead of picking up the inspiration for the book. My Bible. I really feel like I need to give a long drawn out testimony here, but my husband went out with the baby and I feel like I need to get his permission first before telling all of our business. But I will say this, there is no way I could be doing this on my own. For everyone out there that is going through a dry season in your life, surround your self with uplifting thoughts, words, music. It makes such a difference and if you get a chance read Romans 8:28. Even better, read Romans 8:18-39. And by all means pick up that book by Robert J. Morgan.

Just to go back to post about Mya(my plant). If she didn't shrivel up and go back to the earth, there is no way new life could have been created and such abundance. All things work together for good. Not some, but allll. So this too shall pass, my brother/sister, and to myself too self :)
