Promises as seen through Abraham and David. (Pt. 1)

Well, I really need to update.

So despite this awful day, I'll scrap together something.
If you've been in Charlotte, you've probably noticed the non-stop rain lately. I personally love the rain, it's not really bugging me, but most of my comrades spirits are falling under the incessant gray. Actually, yesterday during a short break, I was walking to ZHOP and was praying for a rainbow. And lo and behold, there it was, all but a small side hidden! What a wonder. As it is for many, rainbows speak to me of promises.

My whole life has been a promise, since I was in the womb. A promise filled with many more promises. My parents were told they could never have children. After my older brother Matthew came, they had a word from the Lord about a second son, and his name was to be David, but nothing about a son after him, or any daughters at all. God promised my mom after a great struggle with the enemy that she had defeated him and she was pregnant with me. She later found out that it was true. And boy, was she thrilled after I was born in that little hotel in Tyler Texas to find out that I was a girl. For the first few minutes of my life she had called me David, which the Lord has turned into another promise for me, although it wasn't revealed to me until very recently.

The Lord has so many promises over my life, and for this I've always related closely to Abraham, a man God gave many, many promises to throughout his life, fulfilling them all but not necessarily in the order he gave them. Abraham is a close second to my favorite person in the bible, David. He also had nothing to hold onto for many years but the Lord's promises.

Unfortunately I must cut this short, but be expecting another update quite soon.

Love.
