So Saturday night, I was sitting up in bed reading – when out of nowhere I felt like I should read my Bible. The problem was that my Bible wasn’t in our room – it was all the way on the other side of the house. Being tired and worn out from my day – I really didn’t want to go fetch it. (Even though it only would have taken me about 3 seconds.) Then all of the sudden, I got this weird feeling I should look on top of my dresser – that’s right next to my bed. Weird. So I did…and I found my chronological Bible laying there. I grabbed it, opened it up, and this is what I was unmistakeably drawn to:
After reading it, I felt so….prayed for. So tended to. So lovingly recognized, somehow. Those words….delivered right to my heart’s doorstep Saturday night…..spoke directly to my doubts, my fears, and my questions. Unbelievable. I had experienced yet another ‘inkling’ that ended up leading me to something very rich and very good.
Just wanted y’all to know 🙂
Be encouraged – and have a great week!
I had been feeling so alone and decided to post a blog when I had this feeling to check the next blog. I came across you and thank God for you I appreciate your starting the week out and just wanted to let you know how you made me feel loved and cared for in such a tough time right now. God bless you by the way my name is Sandy
Wow, thanks what an awesome post, I've been waking up the past couple of nights at about 3:00 am and staying awake until 5:00 concerned how we are going to pay our bills this month. We are 1600 in the hole and that doesn't include the 1000 insurance bill tab. oh my. Trying to figure out what we are going to do with no health insurance. I needed that reassurance today!!! thanks
I just happened to stop by here from Rachel Olsen's website! (right)
Oh sweet Kate, how I love to read of those inkling moments in your life. How God meets you right where you are with just what you need. How much better can it be? It really is amazing how much He loves us with all of our warts and all. I love how you wrote that you received it as feeling so prayed for. Jesus sits at the right hand of God continually interceding for us. Amazing love, how can it be?
Love you,
Debbie
AWESOME!!
So cool! And an encouragement to heed those inklings when we have them…how many times have I given in to just staying in bed at moments like that…perhaps to miss a beautiful blessing God may have. Thank you for sharing.
A love letter to you (and all of those you shared it with.) Thanks Kate!
What a beautiful testimony to the personal power of God's word speaking to us.
I saw that you are loving Melanie's Marriage Mondays, and I was SO surprised last Monday evening to find it … since I started one that morning too. 🙂 I wrote about the discovery today and how I think God must be stirring up something neat, when we realize it's stirred up in multiple places in once. Would love to have you drop by my "Marriage Mondays" too.

Hi Kate, the words that leaped out from your post "I felt so prayed for." That's what I needed today. I just couldn't pray for myself but needed prayer so i went and read those verse and felt prayed for too – thank you for sharing.
I also liked your "I want…" post. boy i could relate to so many of them. I'm going to post my own list later this week, after being inspired by you!
Glad your hubby got his work out – blessings
