knows me
adores me
thinks of me
is aware of my dreams
is aware of my desires
loves me immensely.
but on Monday I got a very obvious reminder of how much we are thought of by God.
my sister Anna's favorite
worship lead is Kari Jobe ;
and when I say she is her favorite what
I mean to say is that Anna stalks her tweets like
side -pony-tailed-girls-stalked-new-kids -on-the-block in the '80s.
just to give you further idea of how much Anna loves her,
when I was at the Catalyst conference in October , I found
out that Kari was doing a surprise worship set during the conference
because Anna sent me a text moments before that said, "Kari is on her way to perform!"
haha :)
the point of showcasing just how much Anna adores her
is an important element in the story I am relaying to each of you now,
because now that you know the magnitude of Anna's admiration for Kari Jobe
it will now help you fully understand the magnitude of
the moment we met Kari Jobe on Monday.
waiting for our mom,in the food court, we made small talk until I noticed that Anna was no longer focused on me ,but rather staring past me.
that's when Anna said to me, "I think that's Kari Jobe". so naturally, Anna and I moved swift as bees and as covert as spies to grab a closer look.
and low and behold there she was,
Kari Jobe,
standing in line at Chick-fil-A in the food court.
(alongside a really cute rocker guy if i may add)
it was then that Anna told me that Kari had tweeted (i'm telling you, she REALLY follows her tweets haha) a day or two earlier that she was going to "take a tweeter break for a week"; which caused Anna to wonder aloud if that was because she was trying to get away for some kind of privacy.
Anna stood beside me barely able to breathe, let alone move towards
her "mentor" to ask for a picture.
Anna Joy finally got the nerve to ask for a picture.
(with some major prodding from her big sister if i may)
it was the most precious moment when Anna spoke to Kari.
I truly got a glimpse of the character
and heart of the Lord through this small interaction.
It reminded me that I am thought of and remembered by the Creator of the Universe. He knows the desires of my heart, those that are great and those that are miniature; those that are spoken and those that are kept silent.
In this small moment, He was showing Anna that He hasn't forgotten her; He sent her a little post-it note reminder in the form of meeting her favorite artist, one-on-one where we were the only two who recognized her.
So to you who feel forgotten, please let this sink into your heart like it has in mine, we are remembered and thought of by the Lord.
this is proof.

So hey! I somehow came across your blog and have been reading some of your stuff. They are legit! and I feel really encouraged. You have a gift to write my friend, and keep at it.
I love this post because we all are guilty right? We get caught up in our country here and we are blessed beyond compare. I just got back from Africa a week ago from a mission trip and I hated being back. I was super guilty. Here we have everything and there they have nothing but they are a lot happier and content than we are. I was guilty because I was blessed so much and in reality I had to be thankful and it is what I do with my blessings that count.
I am sorry. You are probably wondering why this random stranger is posting this huge comment on here haha but I really liked this. Good job :)
