Today’s Devotional Written By My Spiritual Daughter Who I am Proud To Say Is Who She Is: Tracy Koweh(soon to be Dixon)
It’s Not Right, BUT it is Okay!!!
Psalm 27:3 (Amplified Bible)
3Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident.
Today’s message in the music comes from Whitney Houston's song "It’s Not Right, but it’s Okay". This past week the stress of the wedding and all the family drama that has come with it, finally got the best of me. I broke down as I read all the stories of the daughters and mothers out working together to give the bride the wedding of her dreams. I cried and wondered how that felt.
Last week as I sat with Daniela finishing up the paperwork about Kenneth's passing, she asked how the wedding plans were coming along. Having just planned her wedding a few months before, she was shocked to learn that for the vast majority of it, Shane and I were doing it alone. We didn't have the support and financial backing that most couples do.
The greatest shock however, was that my birth mother had not participated in anything to date. It hurt to realize that my special and important day was not a priority to the woman who brought me into the world. I thought "It’s not right, but it’s okay". Daniela in the midst of dealing with the passing of her husband of 4 months spoke words to me that I will never forget. She told me that I was so busy focused on who was not there and what was not being done, that I couldn't see that God had surrounded us with a family created by His spirit.
This past weekend as I tried on wedding dresses I looked up and saw my sisters and my Ma. Not the one who gave physical birth to me, but the one who God allowed to birth me in the spiritual. She encourages me, prays with me, corrects me and she constantly sacrifices for me. The situations and circumstances I find myself in right now are not the norm, but God is still taking care of it all.
Today as you look at certain things happening in your life, you probably have a few things that you can admit are not right. But God wanted you to know as Whitney sung it so perfectly: It’s not right, but it’s okay, You're going to make it anyway. Be blessed this week, and know that the people who bail on you are only making room for God to give you something and someone better.
