today

ok so I've had quite a crazy day, and I decided that I could look at this day in two ways 1) I could get extremely pissed about it all and let the devil win or 2) I could take it as a time to refocus and thank God for all the amazing wonderful things that I have and he has blessed me with. I chose option 2. So first I didn't get to talk with you all morning because I was training the lady and that pretty much bummed me out hardcore then I go as soon as she leaves to run an errand for my mom with my sister and I'm going to get us lunch because non of us had much breakfast. So I drive to the place and get out and get the stuff and I get back into my truck and go to start it and it won't start and I try for along time and it won't so I call my dad and he is like well just push it and try to start it and all these people are around so I'm thinking this is so embarassing and I'm starting to get mad at my dad and just life in general when I realize that I should just use this as an opportunity to grow so I pray Lord teach me some humility through this experience and I get out and start to try and push the car, and it doesn't work so I push some more and it doesn't work. So now I'm dripping sweat the car won't start it's hot outside I'm hungry and I'm wearing the pants that I wanted to wear tonight. At this point in time I call my mom to come pick us up and call my dad and tell him it won't start, and I sit down under this shade tree and just took the time as a quiet time with God and really saw all of the things that we are blessed with that we overlook. Like the fact that my family has not just one or two but three cars and how amazing a simple shade tree is on a hot day and even better yet the gently breeze that God gives us. I truly think for the first time I could hear God's whisper in the wind, not an audible voice but one of I'm here with you even in this time of trial I'm here giving you rest, taking off your burden and cooling you now with the wind. It was really amazing to take what could have been a terrible day and just lay it down at the foot of the cross and see the way that God will speak to you.
