Hey everybody! So the last couple of weeks have been a little crazy. With God's help I am trying to stay sane. I just started back to school, and summer school is ridiculous! Me and my awesome roommate just finished moving and I started a new part time job. I knew I was setting myself up for disaster when I signed up for everything, but I also thought it would get my mind off of things while all of my friends are gone serving in summer missions. It has worked pretty good, but I'm ready for a breather already, especially from calculus!
Aside from all of that life is good and I'm thankful for all the opportunities I have in my life. God never ceases to shock me at how He is always there and always provides. When I was moving out of my apartment I was trying to sell some furniture because I don't want to store it for the next year and a half. It was down to the last night we were in our apartment and I still had a washer, dryer, couch, and desk I needed to get rid of – forget selling them, I was trying to give them away as long as they were gone by the end of the night! But nothing was working out, and I was getting really worried because I didn't know what I was going to do with all of it. I'm sure God was rolling his eyes at me because I was doubting again, and He had an amazing plan that as always was more than I could have even imagined. Right when I was leaving work I got a text message from someone off of "craigslist" asking where I lived because they wanted to come look at my couch. They came to my apartment to look at my couch and ended up buying my couch, washer, dryer, and my desk! The only thing I had put on craigslist was my couch, and I had people texting me saying they wanted to come look at it but the timing just wasn't working out. With everything God has done in my life over just the past year and a half, I don't even believe in luck or coincidences anymore. If any of the other people had showed up they probably would have just left with the couch which would have been good, but it was such a huge blessing to get rid of absolutely everything I needed to.
Things in life can come at you like crazy sometimes and it's stressful and scary! Even though my situation wasn't that serious it just showed me how much God really cares about us. I kick myself for doubting Him all the time, but in my human mindset I still try to do things in my own power and they don't work out which leaves me worried and freaking out. Then God comes and shows me the plan is in His hands, and that is extremely humbling. I love you, God, and just wanted to give a little shoutout to say thank you 🙂
