Little Reminders

I love it when God sends you little reminders that He is there and He is faithful and He knows EXACTLY what we are thinking and feeling - always. Tonight I heard a ringtone from my phone that I hadn't heard in quite a while - and it was from one of my best friends from home, Katie. I was just sitting, overthinking, worried about school and the like, basically just mega stressed out. And I see this text message from her out of the blue that just said, "Just wanted to tell you how much I love you! And that I'm missing you right now." I just love how much God takes care of us and sends us little reminders to let us know that we are loved and that we are cared for SO much by our Savior, that He orchestrates these little blessings in our lives to show us just how much He cares.

Sometimes I feel like I've messed up so much and I am so slow to learn from Him when He's trying to teach me things because I want to hold onto things and not fully surrender... that I am so undeserving of these little reminders from Him. I mess up all the time and have so much to learn and so much in my life that is sinful...

And yet each time I feel low or sad, or frustrated or stressed, God finds a way to somehow remind me yet again, that He loves me; that He is all I will ever need; that with Him I can be fully satisfied ...and my heart is once again overjoyed.
