Message in the Milkshake

This post isn't going to be long. It isn't a long rant (although I have a few, if you wanna know just ask ;)). I just wanted to share something small that encouraged me in a big way. 

So yesterday, I was feeling like I had everything together for the day. I had a plan. I was going to work out at this time, do homework at this time, watch the bachelor at this time, and actually get to go to BED at a decent time, which is one of the things I desire most. 

Anyways, I became stressed after the bachelor (yes, I emotionally invest myself FAR too much in that show), and then got some other news that upset me. Then I went to a study group in the library to work on my statistics homework. I thought I was almost done and it would only take an hour. 

Wrong.

Long story short, we stayed until the library closed, and then got up early when the library open. *For the record, I didn't even turn it in completed.* It was the MOST frustrating thing. 

After the leaving the library, I felt like I had lost control - I was overwhelmed with stress and frustration. 

I decided I deserved a milkshake to help me drink down my despair. 

I trudged into the gas station in my sweats, looking like a complete bum, and went to the milkshake sections, to grab my plain ol' chocolate milkshake.

And then, there it was, a sign from God: A Double Fudge Brownie Chocolate Milkshake: Limited Edition. 

I literally squealed with delight. 

I grabbed one and opened it, and the lid read:

Call me crazy, but God was literally speaking to me through this milkshake. He was saying, "Hey, it's gonna be ok - I got you! You are going to get through this! I got you!"

My strength was renewed for the night, (not to mention the shake was AMAZING).

You may think I am being ridiculous, but remember: do not limit the way God can speak to and encourage His children. He's done crazier things before, like...walking on water or making a virgin conceive....

I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never,
forsake me in my weaknesses

I know that You have come now,
even if to write upon my heart.
To remind me who You are.

These are lyrics from Kari Jobe's "You are for me"

God's right here, holding me, even if I feel out of control. Sometimes I do a bad job of remembering that, so sometimes it's necessary for God to speak directly to my heart - through a milkshake ;)
