For Taking Care

This past week has been a little rough. From tires almost going flat, to a broken phone, which has my schedule and everything else on it, to worrying about family members. It has been troublesome to say the least. I have a good guy friend (Only a friend) who was able to reach out and take care of my tires for me!!! I have focused so much on taking care of myself, that I forgot what it was like for someone else to be in control, fo someone else to take control of the situation. When everything in my life seems to be going wrong, I would much rather let someone else drive the Crazy Train down the tracks of my life. Its times like these where I wish I had someone to take care of me, a man in my life who would do the things I can do but would much rather someone else handle, Like fixing the car/ and being Mr. Fixit around the house. I think to myself, "why do I have no one to take care of me". I throw my little pity party, tear up a little and feel sorry for myself. No one wants to listen to my woes...How much I must break Gods heart when I say these things. Thanks to the wonderful friends I have in my life, I am reminded how much He protects and provides for me. I have the provision to fix My phone. I have a functioning car to take me places. I live in a wonderful apartment complex in a cozy little apartment. So much more than many of the people in this world. I have friends who never let me wallow in my self loathing, or pity. Friends who always point me back to Christ. Even when they are unaware of it. Thank you for keeping me focused on Jesus, for sending me words of encouragement and telling of the wonderful things God is doing in your lives. It reminds me of how much God truly loves us, me. He is able to conquer impossible situations. He makes me to trust completely in Him. And He loves me so much that He gives me more, and provides me with more than I could ever ask for or imagine. I serve a Great Powerful Loving God. Who never leaves me to suffer alone, If anything, I pull away and isolate myself from Him. I slam the door in His face. Yet he continues to knock, consistently asking to come back in and take control of the situation. Of all the things life throws at me that I miss, He catches all of the important ones and takes care of them in His good Time. Thank you for taking care of me.
