Everything Happens For A Reason

How could I be so ignorant to forget what has kept me in tact for so long. The motto and faith I live by, a lack of faith in anything is a lack of faith in God. Therefore everything happens for a reason. Knowing that everything is in Gods hands and not my own is so refreshing, but there are times I forget this. Take lately for example. I've been so concerned with my own ambitions and whats "fair" that I've been kinda missing the point. Friendship.

I think it took a clear mind to figure things out, and my mind has been weighted for a few months now. Mostly because I've been working midnights and hating it. My life went out the window when I did. I couldn't spend the time with my friends and the ones I care about. But that's all done with now. I went in last night, on my day off, to do the stock order. I found out somebody else had already done it.Reason being was they "can't rely on me". Fair enough, if you can't rely on me and my word, then you can't rely on me to come in the next night for work :-) So needless to say, I'm hanging up the midnights hat a little early!

In this new freedom, I was allowed to think clearly. I was lying in bed last night when it hit me like a ton of bricks, I'm complaining about things that are happening in my life when its Gods hands at work. So, this means I'm complaining about Gods work??? CRAP! This was not my intention. I was pissed, looking for answers, answers to questions I shouldn't have been selfish enough to ask in the first place! Answers I didn't really need to know. However I received a few answers last night when I could actually focus on the relevant, and it is a weight lifted!

I'm sure you're good and lost now. Some who read this will know exactly what I'm talking about. But there's still a lesson to be learned for those who don't. Trust in God. Trust that He knows where he's taking you. Your job is to be thankful and love along the way. And though His driving my be scary at some points, He will get you to your destination. It may not be where you think you should be, but its exactly where you're intended to be.

...... Last time I said Gods driving scared me He let me know He was in control. Last fall, my best friend was driving my van. She was going a little too fast getting off the highway on a ramp and started losing control of the vehicle. We started swerving and fishtailing. We were afraid. Then out of nowhere the van straightened up and everything was fine, as if God said "You're scared of my driving, huh? Well just be thankful I know where I'm taking you." I've noticed He works like that.

Either way, I've got some splainin to do!
