Blessings in Disguise

Hello, beautiful Daughters of Christ! :)
I have to tell you all about my day! It goes perfectly with what we talked about yesterday. I am completely overwhelmed by God's grace and lovingkindness.

So, today. I had this plan. I was going to get up, go to the gym, take a shower, get my books at the book store for Northwest, have lunch with my mom, then go to Wal Mart. Well, I go to get my books at Northwest and I got really turned around and couldn't find the book store. I was flustered, because I felt stupid. Then, at lunch, Mom goes with me to find it. We found it, but it was closed from noon to one. It was 12:45. I said to my mom "For once, can't I just have a simple day." Little did I know that God had planned a much bigger blessing for me than I had anticipated.

I go to wal mart. Get my stuff. Get in line behind these two women(I must assume mother and daughter) and seriously y'all I stood behind them in line for 20 minutes. I was abnormally patient though, and I waited it out. The older woman started talking to me, and we had a pleasant conversation. She was very sweet.

Then, I get my groceries checked out, head to northwest. While I was going in, I ran into a very good friend of mine that I haven't seen since Christmas, Hillary Young. It was such a blessing because when she saw me she lit up so much. (I've been feeling a little unwanted and unloved lately.) She truly truly was so excited to see me. That was such a blessing and encouragement. God had much bigger plans for my day!

After I get my books, I go over to the NWCC police station to get my ID made. Well, I get in there, and the two SWEETEST men are working. They start asking me about my major, I told them that I am special education. And they just. Lit up. They said they could tell from my smile that I was a special person when I walked in the room, and how kind I was to them. We talked for a good 15 minutes. They were saying how blessed I am to be at Union and how they could see God's plan was carefully mapped out for my life (I told them I got a lot of scholarships because they asked how I paid for Union) and that He had a special plan for me. He was looking out for me.

I just thought "I have to go home and tell my precious sisters in Christ about this!" It's so wonderful, that we can't even see how BIG His plan is, and if we just submit, how much He wants to bless us. I'm encouraged by God's grace. How beautiful is our Savior!
