It’s Really Not Supposed To Be This Way

It was Tuesday, November 13 and I had received an email from Proverbs 31 Ministries that celebrated Lysa Terkeurst's latest book It's Not Supposed To Be This Way. I looked at the cover and thought about my current situation and thought, "It's really not supposed to be this way."

On Saturday, November 17, my nephew brought the mail in and gave me an Amazon box. I looked at the box curiously because I had not ordered anything. I opened the box and saw the book. Of course I knew it was the book from the email earlier that week. I knew I had not ordered it though. I called Amazon. I logged on to my Amazon account. I sifted through the pages of the book and found not one clue about the identity of the sender. 

I sat with the resolve that I needed the book and it had come to me in my time of need. However, I have a curious mind. I called Amazon back asking if there was any way that I could find out who sent it. I even downloaded the Amazon App and tried to scan the bar code. Just pray for me. Inquiring minds wanted to know and I wanted to thank my angel. Receiving this book was huge for me. 

Later that night in my alone time I read a scripture. Proverbs 11:25 NIV.

A generous person will prosper, whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

After reading that scripture, I immediately knew the sender. Quiera. 

I am so blessed to have wonder friends who are in tune to those things that God desires for me. Thank you Quiera for always being an awesome friend to me. You always provide the hard prompts for me to answer and the encouragement to go forward and process through adversity. 

While I think that what I'm going through is not supposed to be this way we both know that God's plans are perfect. God works all things for good. 

Namaste
