I am only two months into this whole experience and God has already taught me so much! This past week one of my friends asked me how I was and instead of texting back good, how have you been? I actually sat and thought about how I am doing. I had a rough start to the week, I had just gotten back from a little road trip to pick up my brother from college on Monday morning and didn’t work until Tuesday. Tuesday morning rolls around and I hear my alarm go off and I press the snooze button. It goes off again and I shut it off, and do not get up! Whoops! So I wake up at about 4:30 am and instantly know I am late for work! I am suppose to be at work at 4:30 am and didn’t end up leaving my house until 4:40 getting to work a short 7 mins later. Not a big deal right? 15 min not the end of the world, except when you open up the studio it is kind of a problem. I like routine for the most part and because I was gone for 4 days my work schedule was a little different than normal. I haven’t worked weekends in probably two months! living the life right? Well I was scheduled to open Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Guess what?! I forgot I was opening on Sunday, because I never work Sundays, and I didn’t show up! I had a perfect record of opening up until this week. I was so disappointed in my self! I consider myself to be very reliable, and I could not be counted on this week. But you know who I can, who WE can always count on and who has been there for me this week, and every other week though out my life? God. I was looking back on my life and notice how many times I had blinders on to when God provided for me and my family. How He cared for us and loved me through everything. How often do we all do that? Every trip I go on I am reminded how blessed I am to have grown up where I did with who I did and then a month later, I am back to taking things for granted. I get so caught up in this world and all it has to offer and I forget about everything I have seen. My mind keeps going back to Thailand. The red light district. You could feel the filth in the air, see the loneliness in the girls faces, it was all drowned out by the loud music. I am eager to help these women and men that are lost and hurting just like the Father has helped me my entire life!
