The Heart Of the Matter

Hey Zesters,
    So I feel like for the past few months I have gotton better at being still and listing to God's voice a lot with my move but just with other stuff as well.  So a few months ago I was talking to a friend of my a few weeks before her wedding, and we were talking about Ray who had starting someone, who I really liked :) which made it really hard to see them together but i made it though :) i was telling her how i felt like God was prepping my heart for the fact that Ray and (lets call her Evangeline) where on the road to getting Engaged. i was telling my friend that while i would be happy for them it would be hard and not sure why.  so fast forward to yesterday. i was on facebook and saw this post about how we see things one way, like waking up late or the small frustrating things of life. all we do is ask God why does he let those things happen to us. however its really God protecting us from other things. Car not starting for 20 mins = saving us from and accident.  brings us to today it was my favorite little persons birthday party :) and i had told her mom that i would come early to help put it together i told her that i would be at her house at 9 am well i woke up at 8 15 am so i asked if i could get a ride there so i was packing my bag making sure that i didn't forget anything ok got it all out the door we go we get half way to my friends house when i realize that i forgot my phone... ok no big deal it means that i will be 100%  present with the birthday girl and her brother and sister. and the party was great :) i had a blast :) so i get home and check my phone nothing super important just some updates for tomorrow so i hop on facebook and some fun updates :) then i see it the post that i knew was coming just didn't know when and was kind of hoping that it would be after my move  i see that Ray is Engaged to Evangeline and the first thing that comes to mind i knew it was going to happen :) so i call up my bestie and all i said was "so i was on Facebook " and she says " oh you saw it " the funny thing is all i could was be happy its a bittersweet happy but happy none the least i thought maybe that is why i forgot my phone this morning think about it if i had my phone i would have been on facebook texting people alll of it i would have seen the post sooner and would have forgotton the reason why today was so awesome so praise be to God :)
