God Kisses

Have you ever had a time in your life when you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God was working in your life in such a special, only for you way?  Well, a couple weeks ago God did that for me and I’d like to share with you what happened.

I was home alone for the weekend.  My hubby had the twins with him on a youth hunt so I was driving to church by myself.  I was DEEP in thought throwing questions around to God.  I was asking Him this deep question I had been pondering.  “What would happen in my life,  God if I TRULY believed what you said about me?”  “Would my life be drastically different?” Then I’m digging deeper, “God, how do I marry reality, which is really who I am with living the way you say I am?”  At the exact time I’m wrestling with all this I hear a song on the radio I’ve never heard before.  It grabs my attention because it’s talking about everything I’m wresting with.  The chorus of the song was I am redeemed and I don’t have to live in a prison because I’m already free.  Within seconds of realizing the song on the radio I come up over a hill and see these HUGE storm clouds with a beautiful double ended rainbow.  I was sooooo moved I quickly pulled off the road to snap a picture on my phone.  (Please forgive me if you were the car behind me because I was caught up in the beauty of the moment.)

I really wanted to know what that song was and the station didn’t say.  I even tried looking it up on the radio station with no luck.  I asked God to please bring that song to me again and I went about my day.

Fast forward two weeks. It’s a Wednesday morning  and I’m having my quiet time and the topic is Hearing God’s Voice.  I’m really trying to be obedient when I hear Him and not try and talk myself out of it.  While I’m reading about something unrelated I felt like God asked me to look up the song Redeemed (my song from above)  so I do and sure enough I find it in iTunes.   I buy the song and go about my work.  On Wednesday’s I don’t usually work but that day I was really considering it since I wouldn’t be able to go in on Thursday my regularly scheduled day, but I really felt God tell me NO don’t go.  Now, I argued a little bit because  money is tight and I didn’t want to give the money up, but I obeyed and didn’t go.  I was doing some work on the computer and felt like God said, Barb, look up the words to that song.  So I did and I spent a considerable amount of time in tears and thanking God for doing the words of that song in my life.  After I was done, I went to Facebook and I’m not lying but this is the very first thing in my feed:
