God wants to give you Kona Coffee...I'll explain...

I have no idea why..well, maybe I do..but I have been soo tired. I mean literally guys..I'm a grandma....I go to bed at like 8:30pm. I really think its b/c with my job at Starbucks I open all the time which I need to be there at 4:15am so I get up at like 3:30am. Please pray that next week God gives me the strength to get up and have energy b/c I open 5 days next week and I feel like my body is already worn down. Anyways..I have been really learning this past week or so what it means to let go and let God. I guess desiring His will even when you don't know what it is. In our bible study last Wednesday, we were talking about what it means to have faith..and how do we apply it. Having faith is easier said than done. Jesus said, "if you have faith as small as a mustard seed and you say to this mountain, "Move!" it will move!" Ok, so what does that mean? I mean..I'm not going to lie, I looked at mountains before as thought..what if I could move this mountain like Jesus talks about. In Heb. 11:1 it says, "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see". Key words in there..sure and certain. Do we have faith..as small as a mustard seed in situations that arise? "Faith..is being SURE of what we hope for and CERTAIN of what we do not see" In my NLT translation it says, "Faith is being sure of what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance of the things we cannot see". We cannot even see what will happen in 5 minutes so every one of us needs hope in this life. I don't care who you are..we need hope! We need to know there is joy at the end of a trial! No, not all things will turn out like we want them to but do we can have faith, as small as a mustard seed, to trust God that whatever happens is for the good and that there is joy at at the end. In the book of James, James deeply expresses that every trial has joy (James 1). Maybe when Jesus talks about having faith in the Lord to lift the mountain, maybe we put the faith in ourselves that we can move the mountain and it doesn't move..or maybe in another way, the mountain moves, but not in the way we want it to. So therefore, we think it didn't move. I don't know, I could be talking smack but its something I'm thinking about. I'm going through a situation where I have no idea what is going on in a particular circumstance. Everyone is telling me to just turn my head and separate, but I just don't have peace about it. I don't know why but I can't. The Lord keeps telling me to pray and wait. Wait upon the Lord! We hate to hear the word wait. Especially in America, we get everything now! I think of some customers at Starbucks..not all, but some, that hate to wait and are so anxious. Taking this as an example, a customer walks in...so anxious, they want there coffee now! Like speed of lightning. Well at starbucks we want to make the customer happy but we are all about quality. So the customer is anxious and just wanting their coffee now. However, they don't want Pikes Place, they want KONA! And Kona is our amazing 100% Hawaiian coffee that is so rich in flavor. Kona is not brewed in an urn, it is poured over..where we put the grounds in a funnel and dump hot water over it to make it fresh! It takes maybe like 3 minutes. But this customer doesn't want to wait for the better coffee, they want coffee now, so b/c they are so anxious..they settle for Pikes Place and walks out. The get to their car and is upset b/c its not as good as Kona but b/c they refused to wait..they got pikes place. Sorry, coffee is always on my mind b/c of work lol! But what I"m trying to say is, wait on the Lord. Saul never waited on God for the commands and he became a mad man and caused chaos..David waited on the Lord and brought success in ways David probably ever could imagine. Kona and Pikes could be represented in many ways in your life, a situation, a person, maybe a situation/person being "pikes place" to becoming "kona". But whatever it is, God wants to give you Kona coffee!! (you catch my drift) but you have to wait! ITS ALL IN THIS TIMING! That "3 minutes" for "kona" to be done will be worth it! But the MOST IMPORTANT thing to do, is PRAY! Talk to God, seek Him, KNOW Him, when we wait, we become desperate we seek! Have faith that He has the best for you in mind, even when it doesn't seem like it! No matter what others are telling you, yeild to what He wants you to do, not what others say..I don't care if they are Christian. You hear the Lord. I think of this song I sing in the car by this artist named Coffey (how ironic..)he says, "Be still and know that He is God. I trust in You with the desires of my heart.." and the song is called Wait on the Lord. how funny!
