Yesterday I posted a passage from Jeremiah. Why? Usually when I pray, I take out my bible and ask God to show me what he wants me learn. Then I take my bible and close my eyes and just open it. So I did that yesterday and I ended up opening to Jeremiah. Well, a few minutes ago I was making, what I thought to be a conversion chaplet, and my 3 year old sat down beside me, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV and put it on a channel we never watch and sat down. It was a christian channel. The lady on the program was reading and talking about the book of JEREMIAH. She was saying things about our CALL. We are all created for God and we all have our own gifts that God gave to us. When we use those gifts we glorify God. So here I am in disbelief and looking at my 3 year old wondering which room Jesus appeared to him to tell him to come and put the TV on...........lol. anyway...........He gets up and goes to play so I keep listening. She was talking about how we judge each other and how people call each other names not knowing the real value of that person. Well..........I'm still making SOMETHING.........and she said........OUR MISTAKES ARE SOMEONES BLESSINGS! I stopped right there and looked down. Like I said before, I THOUGHT I was making a conversion chaplet, but when I realized what I was doing it was all wrong. I made 2 of them this week and this was nothing like it was supposed to be. OK, this is where I took a deep breath!!!! I got up and went to my little book and I said, God if this is something you wanted me to make you have to show me what it is...............and boy did He show me!!! He has been speaking to me about making an Our Lady of Guadalupe chaplet and I've been putting it off! Really, I've been putting it off because I didn't have the medal I needed and just wanted to make what "I" wanted to make. I had made a CHAPLET OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE!! The correct number of beads and the beads were in the correct places. For those of you who aren't familiar with Chaplets. Each Chaplet is different. Each chaplet can be used for different Saints and prayer intentions. The number of beads and arrangements of those beads can differ.
Before I typed up this post for my blog I went to Jeremiah and read. "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Write all the words I have spoken to you in a book. For behold, the days will come, says the LORD, when I will change the lot of my people, and bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers; they shall have it as their possession. (Jeremiah 30:2-3)
There are many times I feel prompted to write things down that I get in prayer and I have always wanted to keep a journal to one day leave behind for my children and their children. God is doing a mighty work within everyone right now. All we have to do is be open. "Be not affraid" His plans for us more glorious than anything we can imagine. I DO NOT claim to be more than I already am. A child of God thriving to do His work. God bless............and keep the faith!!
