For this post, you need to know a little backstory.
My grandfather died on 12/12 before I was born.
Because of that, my family sees 12s in almost all special things.
They just present themselves.
We take it as a little nudge from our loved ones who have passed.
Maybe we’re weird.
But that’s our thing.
I’m going to be painfully vague here, but if you’ve been hanging around my little corner of the web the last several months, you know that life has been testing me/us. J and I have been thrown some curve balls and, well, it’s left me a little lost and confused.
A lot of what I’m dealing with right now revolves around hope and patience. I made a commitment to myself to just honestly put all of this stress and worry on God. That’s not usually in my nature (I wish it were, but it’s just not), so it’s been a bit of a challenge for me. And I find myself navigating waters I’m not accustomed to.
And I have hope. A lot of hope. But I started to feel like my patience was running out. Why couldn’t God just answer us now. And then I started to worry that maybe my hope wasn’t good. Maybe my hope mean that I’m not completely trusting God. So I turned to my bible (again, unlike me) to see what it had to say about hope. I was nearing the end of my rope. I needed something anything to remind me that God’s Got This.
I found a few pieces of scripture that really spoke to me. All of which reassured me that it’s okay, and actually good, to have hope. And then one piece of scripture slapped me in the face. It couldn’t speak to me more if God himself wrote it down for me in this moment.
Rejoice in hope. Be patient in tribulation. Be constant in prayer.
And then my blood ran cold and my heart stopped.
Where is this scripture from?
Romans…12:12.
Point taken.
I just got chills!!! 🙂 I know how hard it is to leave everything in God's hands when you just want answers. I'll be sending good vibes and prayers your way!
Wow that is so cool! I totally understand this feeling, it can be so hard to wait and trust!
Awesome, and thanks Grandpa 🙂
Wow, isn't it crazy what the world tries to tell us sometimes? 12 is my boyfriend & I's lucky number too, things always seem to be good for us on the 12th. Prayers that your hoping pays off :)!
I mean……..that is just like perfect. Whenever you try to plan and take over life once again that reminder of patience, prayer and faith.
Oh girl, this makes my heart jump! Is it not amazing how He works?! Gave me chills <3
I love it when God sends little messages like that!! I can relate to the trust thing…I'm a planner, and I like to ALWAYS know what's next on the road, and I don't handle surprises very well. Giving everything to the Lord is an odd mix between comfort and complete discomfort!!
Wow this is incredible!!!
We have already talked about this so I knew where the story was going, and yet here I sit once more with chill bumps!!! Patience and leaving things in the hands of God are hard things to do. I struggle with both of those things myself. Hugs friend!
Wow, that's so cool!! I love it when God works like that. And what a reward for your hope. Prayers for you, friend 🙂
Girl that is crazy… gave me chills!! And I hope you're doing okay… hang in there!!
Wow. Just wow.
I believe in signs and that's a big one. I hope everything works out for you the way you want it to!
This is just amazing! It is SO hard to just trust when things are totally out of your control. I hope everything turns out the way you want it to. Hugs, girl.
