Double Birthday Blessing: The desires of my heart!

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV)⁴ Delight yourself also in the LORD,
 And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

"So Kendra How was your birthday? Did it turn out to be what you planned?" HECK NO!! BUT...My birthday week from Sunday to Sunday was everything I needed. Yes, I did have my 25th birthday week planned out from beginning to end. An like most people I was pretty set on things flowing the way I wanted them to. So when Sunday June 5th arrived and things were not looking like what I planned I was a little frustrated. Nevertheless I rolled with the flow...so here is a glimpse of my bday. Although very planned and thought out...Here is what really happened!

Sunday June 5th- Just like most Sundays I woke up on 35,000 prepared to have yet another amazing praise and worship experience with my church family at The Revolution Mark 16/20. I was also excited because I had an early birthday gift that was suppose to arrive that day....Church was AMAZING as always....Still no gift!!!

Monday June 6th- Girl Its A PHOTO SHOOT!!!

 Okay so since I LOVE taking pictures! I had a photo shoot for my birthday! Well it was before my birthday so I'd have the pictures on my birthday! Now the Plan was to have this fun, personality catching shoot of me and my birthday gift. But God had other plans! So Nevertheless my shoot was AMAZING and I love the pics!

 But let me back up...So my shoot was at 4pm. I needed to get my hair and make-up done! An as you already know since this week did NOT go how I planned it things got pushed back and rushed...BUT I did get my hair done (Shout Out APC aka R.C^2) I did however get to my shoot late but my photographer was totally understandable and AMAZING!!! (Shout out to Staci Marie Nurse http://www.stacimariephoto.com/)

 Yes I was a little down because my birthday gift didn't make it to my shoot!
But if I knew then what I know now and what you will know in a little bit...Yea! It was all worth it!

 Tue & Wed. the 7th and 8th- So if you know me you know TUE was gr8 because it was...PHAT TUE (bible study @ church) After bible study I went to BW3's for wings with the girls...Still NO BDAY GIFT..BUT it was on its way! :) Wed. at around 2am my Bday gift arrived! YAY!!!! :) So yes I spent my day Wed with my bday gift. Ended the perfect day with the most honest, raw, upfront, eye opening, emotional conversation with the two people God has hand picked to be the closest to me in this season. Talk about an on time God. Okay so guess I'll let you in. I was really looking for something different and basically life changing. An although I got exactly what I asked for...it didn't really come how I wanted it to. Or should I say got the conformation that YES is my answer but I still have to wait...Yep! About that let me introduce you to my issue...HI MY NAME IS KENDRA AND I AM A SPOILED BRAT! Okay well not as bad of a brat as I use to be but I am really spoiled and enjoy things to go the way I plan. Whelp! In growing A LOT this past year I know that I can plan and want all I please but GOD has the final say. An its funny to me because now that I looked back at what God promised me to begin with he said he would give me the desire of my heart at 25. So I took it as when I turn 25 God was going to give me what I wanted...well what I had planned out to happen around this time in my life...Yea! Not so much. God did exactly what he said he was going to do. Give me the desires of my heart at 25. So when I turned 25 on Friday June the 10th 2011 the honest desire of my heart was simply MORE OF GOD. I wanted to experience him in a way I have never been able to before. So although my birthday week was great God blew my mind on Sunday June 12th. To simply state that I was blessed to have 2 birthdays 2 days apart is an understatement....God literally gave me the BEST GIFT EVER...He gave me the desire of my heart MORE OF HIM!

So as I walk in the newness of what he gave me I am actually still amazed! I am honored and by far super pumped to see all he has in store because I know that 25 is going to be an AMAZING year. Because THIS YEAR unlike any other before it I am asking, seeking and receiving whatever it is God has for me each day. "Give us THIS DAY our DAILY bread" I am finally trusting God to provide for me one day at a time. No longer worried about whats to come because... Philippians 4:19 says

^"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus"
