He Will Restore

     Last night, when I came home, my brother was showing me videos of the explosion at the plant in Texas. Opinions arise as to whether or not it was a missile, and diliberately bombed.
     And our nation was in turmoil after the first few days of the Boston marathon bombing. Questions come and go, and still there are things unanswered.
     I realized yesterday, for the first time, how quickly the end could come. And God is indeed bringing the Bride across the world together. When Bro. Murphy Wong spoke in church about all the great things happening and China, and how groups are forming so quickly, and people are just getting saved left and right, I asked "How come God is not moving like that here?"
     It was then, my eyes opened, and I answered my very own question. "He is!!!!" You see, I had been in a valley so low, so dark for a few months, and I thought I would never come to the light again. But I believe God did a supernatural work in my life. I wasn't asking for it, wasn't even praying for it or looking for it. It was like God said "Okay, you are going to be happy again. You will want to follow me again. You will come back to me again and I will restore you."
     Honestly, I believe it was supernatural. That's just my testimony of the past few days, and God's goodness to His children. God is so good.
     He will restore!
     "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." -1 Thessalonians 5:24

The Little Things

Its the little things in life that can make me smile. Like playing a youtube video of kittens meowing and dogs barking and it makes my cat wonder about her surroundings. Or my Dad being really sarcastic and funny. Or dancing with my brother in the kitchen.
   Tonight at work, I saw a young dad and his little girl walking together. I watched them as they walked away from me, and the dad gently touched her hair as they walked together.
That little scene made me smile. I instantly thought of me and my dad, and our friendship.

  Sometimes the smallest things in life will give us the greatest joy and smiles:)

Leaving a Legacy

     Today I went to a funeral. My great grandmother's funeral. It was more of a celebration of her promotion to a better place. She is happier there, standing in Heaven, holding her hubby's hand as they walk with their loved ones and look into their Saviour's face. They both left an incredible legacy behind in the Hatfield family, one that will not be forgotten.
     Usually, people cry and mourn at the passing of the one they knew. But I remember one funeral especially that touched me. It was my great grandfather's. I cried then, but it had a special effect on me. I realized how short and fleeting life really is. Looking back, I ask myself now "What am I doing that will last? The only thing that will last is the effect I will have on others, what was done for them, and for God."
     As David put it in Psalms 90:12 "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

The 1st blog!!

      So this is my first blog in The Melodious World! Yay! First off I want to tell you a little about myself.
      Currently, I am not in school and just working, as I am not sure which school direction I would like to pursue just yet. But hopefully, I will decide and go back to school soon.
       As for the rest of my life, I love to hang out with friends and family. I also like to be alone though and read my favorite books, which would be the Gilbert Morris series called "The House of Winslow." And of course,  I love to watch any and all Jane Austen movies if I am in a romantic mood. :)
     As for my reasons for creating this blog, I think it will be fun! The name for this blog comes mostly from a nickname that my family gives me. And I am very musical so it seems to fit nicely. :) I love to write and so this will be a neat thing to do if I blog maybe once every other day or once every week. Since I've thought it would be fun to work for a newspaper or magazine, this blog will now be my "article" to write, inspire, and share my hopes and dreams!
