IHOP at Midnight

I had reached a brick wall tonight and I was feeling deflated and frustrated. I called a dear friend to firm up some plans and she scolded me! (Can you believe it!?!) "Don't Quit!", she said. "Don't ever doubt in the dark what God promised you in the light!" .....Words to live by, right there..... 

So, I didn't. I didn't quit. And I stopped doubting. Guess what happened? Yup....God showed up and God showed out! 

Girls, I want to tell you: Never doubt the impact you are having on a life. Never doubt what you know your purpose is. And I want you to remember this - God created YOU on purpose and He created YOU for a purpose. Ain't no accidents here, girlfriend! ;)

Tonight I learned that spontaneity is infectious, that laughter among friends is the best kind, and that I am so very blessed to have the friends that I do. Isn't it amazing how God brings along ladies that are just exactly what you need, right when you need them? Honey, we don't find each other by accident! :) God knows we need each other - and he created friendship...yep, you guessed it!...on purpose!!!

So, at 2:35am, as I'm just finishing up getting Mia's school clothes laid out and her lunch packed - because I caught the spontaneity bug and jumped in the car and went to IHOP at midnight with my mom and a friend - I just want to tell YOU:

Don't Quit!

And sweetheart, don't you EVER doubt in the dark what God promised you in the light!!!

Words to live by, indeed.

With blurry eyes and a happy heart,

Kim
