Psalm 143:8

This morning at church the msg contained Psalm 143 and as I referred to my Bible during the service I realized a verse that I had highlighted and marked with the date 8.13.10. August 13th was the night before going to meet with Chad to 'talk' about things for the first time since we had broken up 3months earlier. It was a meeting that I had prayed about for a while and had a peace about when and how to go about it. We had some things that needed to be said and put behind us, before either of us could move forward...in what ever direction that was to be. Ive written about it on here before, it was a day of major confirmation for me. I had went there to hear Chad out and to give my blessing on things and to end this 'silent period' we had had...so that we could remain friends in the future. BUT I prayed for God's will...for His guidance and direction and for HIM to move in both our hearts in the direction/way that was in line with HIS WILL...no matter how bad it might hurt, the initial the pain it might cause. That night before, I sat praying and reading my Bible to still my anxious heart. I had no clue how the next morning was going to go...but I did know 100% certain that whatever happened, I would hold on to it as God's perfect will for my life in this season that I was in. I had absolute faith that God would move in a mighty way and help me have a peace about the direction Chad and I were to go after this day. If it were the end of the line for us, then I was ok w/that bc I knew that God was going to show me that and that I was going to be ok. If it were just the start of a new step in our relationship, then I would be ok w/that too. I honestly went into that day with complete trust in God, and not in my own 'hopes' for how the day would turn out. As you may know, from reading my previous posts about that day...it was mind blowing how freely we spoke to each other, accepting all that was said to one another...I could feel God moving in us that day and helping us to hear one another out and mostly to forgive one another of some things that were brought about that day. After talking for a long long while, we both agreed the talk was such a relief and felt so confident after it that God was moving and working...and honestly, were both sooo happy haha...that we decided to spend the rest of the morning/afternoon riding his fourwheeler around on grassy. Seriously, THE funnest day Ive had, ever. Ive never felt more at peace, more in line w/God's will, more loved, more RIGHT...in my life! And that day I decided to secure away the knowledge that no matter what may come at me, or us...this was it. Chad and I were going to be ok. We were going to overcome all that had been thrown at us the past few months. I am so extremely thankful for that day, and not just bc Chad and I are together now....but bc no matter the outcome, God showed up in a mighty way! He came to the rescue. Helped guide me when I needed it completely. And gave me that inner peace that only HE can give! And now, where I was going w/this story..hehe..during today's service as I followed along with Matt on Psalm 143, I came to verse 8 and was moved to tears. Again. :) I had highlighted this verse and put WOW beside it on the night of Aug 13th :) It says:

Cause me to hear Your

lovingkindness in the morning,

For in You do I trust;

Cause me to know the way in

which I should walk,

For I lift up my soul to You.

I was taken back to that night before the day on the mtn :) sitting on my bed, praying and reading my Bible and how God gave me peace and that He WAS gonna come through and shine bright that next morning..no matter how the events of the day unfolded. Still amazed at His lovingkindness, His direction&guidance and His greatness!!! And sooo soooo thankful for them all!!!!!!!!! ♥ Blessed Beyond Measure!!!!!!
