Week One Day Four

I really struggled to get up this morning...my body is just SO tired. I thank God that even though there are days that I feel I cant make it, He is faithful and ALWAYS there!

Looking ahead...Week four what stood out to me was "Can you thank Me for trusting you with this experience even if I never tell you why?" This ONE statement had so much in it...first of all THANKING God for an experience, even the painful, hard, hurtful ones...this is HARD to do. I think back to my Uncle, the anniversary of his home going is just 7 days away. I know he had to have struggled with his battle with cancer. i know he worried for his kids, especially their salvation (they are all now saved, praise God) yet I have never seen someone face that kind of uncertainty with more trust in God...this statement goes on, even if I never tell you why. I have had it good, I am able to now look back on experiences and see why. My Uncle's life and even death pointed to Christ, my dad's sickness brought our family closer together, my loss of a job meant schooling that I couldnt have afforded and another job I feel I am meant to be...but what if I couldnt see the why? I know that day is coming, where I may never know why. I pray that I can praise God, even when I dont know all the answers because I know He does!

Week 5...I loved the verse especially ..."My thoughts are not you thoughts, neither are your ways My ways..." God is so much bigger than just my little preset!

Lord, please place your blessing on today. Help me to be your light to those who may not know you. Help me to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger. I thank you Lord that even though I may not always understand your ways in the midst of trials, that you always have a plan for hope and a future. Thank you for always loving me even when I dont deserve it! Lord I pray that I am able to get my work completed today and able to leave on time to make it to bible study, I pray that as you wake up my fellow members that you are on their hearts and minds preparing them for our time together. I love you and thank you for another day, I thank you for the health of my children and husband.~Amen
