The Storm

I write these blogs knowing that most likely no one is reading them. But, it helps to get my thoughts out.

Lately things have been running through my mind non-stop and I worry about how I'm going to get everything accomplished. I found the biggest, darkest piece of gray hair in my head the other day when I was curling my hair and I knew that it was all because of my stress.

I'm worried about how I'm paying for fall, what I'm going to do about my broken car, how my bills are going to get paid, etc. Sometimes it feels like when the sun is just coming out a cloud approaches.

My buddy made it clear to me the other day, My blessings and my deliverance can't come without a storm. In church today, the minister discussed how God has to break us down sometimes in order to build us back up. I'm taking this as my storm, and God knows I've been broken. Thursday when my car went out all I could do was let a tear fall and tell myself that I had to believe in God.

I have to remember that if God said it was so then it is so, he told me that I was going to get my degree from UofM, and I know he didn't bring me to my Senior year for me not to be able to finish because of $. I've had a roof over my head for nearly 21 years and I know God isn't going to fail me now....I just have to trust in him....and continue to put my faith in him and I know I'll be alright.

The other day I had to put things in perspective.....life could be worse.....

I'm thankful for God's mercy, and for his love, and for the people that he's put in my life.
