This is interesting.
For those of you that don't know this story, I was at a conference with my friend Wendy a few months back, I believe it was February. During this conference I truly truly felt, God spoke to me and told me to stay where I'm at with my job, I felt like He was telling me everything was going to be fine, and my family and our finances were gonna be fine. That same weekend, Phil was at a retreat and God also used someone to tell him, basically to tell me that we were gonna be fine. At the time, I was trying to look for another job, I was stressing about money, and I was feeling down about our situation. Well, after all these events took place, I stopped stressing. I put all of my worries on God and He assured me that He would take them and take care of them. Well a few weeks later I was at work. I went to cash out one of my tables, and sitting on the computor ( iforget if it was next to the screen or in the book I was about to use), was a bookmark. On one side was a painting of flowers and prettiness, on the back said "Jeremiah 29:11, 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'Plans to prosper you and and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' " For me this was TRULY words from God. It completely confirmed that MY life, that MY family's Lives were gonna be taken care of, and that I shouldn't worry about these things ANYMORE. I hung that verse on my washer (which is in my kitchen next to my fridge. I spend 85% of my time in the kitchen, cooking cleaning, etc. and I ALWAYS look at that when Im in there. It is a constant reminder that God has plans for me, and He will not steer me wrong.
Maybe you have a favorite bible verse that applies to your life, or some words from God that apply to your life. Place them where you spend most of your time, and where you can see them everyday. Let those words be reminders from God for your life. That bookmark will NEVER HOLD A PLACE IN ANY OF MY BOOKS. But it will forever hold a place in my walk with God.
