I didn't put those words there....

I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting, but I'd just like to share a story from my day today.

At school, we had some people come to our school, and at one point, we were told to lie down and picture what we were being told. Not knowing what to expect, I lay down along with the other 50-or-so girls in my year level.

We were told to imagine that we were lying on a beach, by ourselves (simple enough), lying on a soft towel.

We were then told to imagine a shell wash up on shore, and somehow float to where we were. Inside the shell, we were told, was a message for us. It was something that would make us smile- maybe a memory or a dream.

Now, I was lying there thinking, "I've no idea what the shell would say for me", but "the shell" seemed to know what I needed to hear.

To my surprise, and delight, the shell suddenly whispered to me- "God loves you."

Now, I know that I certainly had not known that the shell I pictured was going to say that. Admittedly, my faith and my savior had been near the back of my mind for at least the last ten minutes. I knew that I had nothing to do with what was written there- those words were sent by my king, because he knew I needed to hear them.

He knew that I had been busy, and "hadn't had time" to listen before, but here he was, suddenly remind me, quite plainly, that he loved me and was always there for me.

I'm not sure what you think, but I thought it was special and that I'd like to share it.

Hullo again. I don't know if this should go here, but it is another cool story from my day, and the title of "I didn't put those words there" soooooo fits.

Anyway, today started off as a great day. I was hanging with several of my closest friend in the city, my biggest debate being whether I should buy the awesome hat or not.

However, later on it didn't go so well. We got lost and several became very irritated by that. I returned home to find my sister was sick, my dad with a very sore tooth, and my mum trying to be with all of us at once.

The worst thing, though, was that I couldn't go to my youth group that night. That was a very deep strike to myself. Youth group, being the highlight of my week, this week was a short trip and some laser tagging. I'd never done it before and I'd looked forward to it.

Anyhow, I'm busy at home sulking to myself, when I go to send my friend a photo. However, I accidentally press "paste" instead of "insert photo". This is what suddenly appeared on my email:

God's with you, and he'll help you.

Now, I remember typing this when encouraging another friend on gaia. I most definitely do not remember copying it. I was just completely blown back by that, and suddenly started praising God in my heart, as I should be always, but aren't.

I don't know if anyone's interested, I just feel as though I'd love to share this. It was amazing, and now I'm thinking about my youth group without feeling upset- at all. Not one bit...
