God IS good all the time

"In the mist of tragedy God IS still Good"
 -Matt Burrell 

2020 best day EVER in the books! As I got to spend all day long with Matt & Lynn Burrell.
For those of you that don't know...two years ago Matt came to preach revival. The first time I saw him was when he stood upfront crying. I wanted to go up and give him a hug right then...but found out later he was actually crying because he loved Jesus so much.
Image if we all loved Jesus that much?
our world would be a revival daily wouldn't it?
Two years ago I would have a spinal tap done. It wasn't "planned" that way but for some reason the hospital needed us that Friday morning to have it done.
Matt would preach that week starting on Sunday and ending on Thursday.
I can't tell you what he preached about Sunday through Wednesday BUT Thursday came.
Facts:I was feeling so alone. So broken. So lost. I just wanted to be loved.
That night Matt preached about the potter and the clay.
How Jesus molds us in his perfect image. 
Did you hear the word PERFECT?
Nothing in this life is perfect but Jesus's love for us is just that. 
Perfect. 
When Matt said (word for word) "You are not a mistake. Jesus loves you right where your at."
As he is talking about all the broken pieces. I thought "That's me. I'm so broken." 
After service he found out I was the one getting a spinal tap. 
He said "I'll be praying for you! I would be scared. Are you scared?"
Yeah.
Matt:I love you!
I stopped in my tracks.That love word. There is just something about being loved. 
They were in town for two days before having to head back to the Virus going around...
Jesus knows just what we need and when. I got to spend the whole day with them today. 
RIGHT?! I was above the moon! 
Mark it 2020 BEST day ever! 
You know why?
They love me for me. They always have loved me in my broken pieces. 
You know we all need those days where we just spend time with the ones we love. 
 
I have NO doubt that God used them for the short amount of time they were in town to be such a blessing.
Proof that Jesus uses others (miles away) to reach hearts, to love one another.
Lynn encouraged me without even knowing to write this blog tonight. If you get nothing else of this blog understand Jesus loves us. 
He loves you.
Lynn & Matt taught me today that no virus can keep Jesus from using others in big ways.
Lynn and I got to do a podcast together today which has been on my bucket list for a really long time.
Keep watch out as we post it soon.
Tonight. I encourage you all to know how loved you are. 
Pray for  Lynn and Matt as they are traveling back home to be with their loved ones.

 
I get in my car after saying those terrible good-byes and open both her books she has out  now to this. Just sitting in my car crying I thanked God for allowing me to have the BEST day ever! 
There is NOTHING more beautiful then to  know and feel loved.
 I ask that you all pray as I am in a season of figuring out who I am. 
who Jesus wants me to be.
Where Jesus wants me to be at.
 Tonight. My heart is so FULL. 
Matt:I believe in you! You have such a big heart-Keep sharing that heart with the world! I hope I have a heart just like yours one day. People know. People see. Thanks for not letting me go through that spinal tap heartbreak alone. Keeping me focused on how much Jesus loves me.
Lynn:You have no idea how much I needed you today! I'm so glad that Jesus allowed time out just to show me whats truly important in life.
I love you and Matt to the moon and back!  
I encourage you all to share the love of Christ.
The love Jesus has for them. 
It WILL change their life.
As this virus hits hold on to the love. 
The virus can't break Jesus's love he has for us. Tell someone you love them daily.
