Wondering how it is that we are supposed to "count it all joy"? Have come across people who are familiar with our struggles and they say "COUNT IT ALL JOY"(from the bible). Then there are the comments like, "GOD HAS A PLAN"
You see I was raised in church, my parents were Pastors. I accepted Jesus in my heart at the age of 8 yr. old. Lived all my childhood and my adult life (EXCEPT for 1 'rebellious' Year) serving in the church and having a very fruitful relationship with Christ.
NOW, what keeps running over and over in my head is that part in the bible that says: "AND THE CHILDREN WILL PAT FOR THE SINS OF THE FATHERS(parents).
My Siah is pretty much traumatized, too much stress and hardship for a little 3 year old!!
Last night we were going on a MOMMY& SON drive to wal-mart to get milk and he had $3.00 my mom gave him to but his NEW favorite "hot wheels"!
The light on the license plate was out, I got pulled over by a Police. I got a ticket for not having my current drivers license or the registration & Insurance in the car (the day we stood in the fod line the registration was the only thing we had with us as proof of address) and Steve had forgotten it was still in his pocket.
As soon as Josiah heard the officer say ticket He began "WHALING" I tried to comfort him and he said he was so scared. I told him it would be okay then The officer came and said, WE ARE GONNA TAKE THE CAR. The whaling started again(the officer didn't even acknowlege Josiah was scared... for all he knew I could have been an abductor & he didn't even talk to Josiah even after I told the officer my son is very scared and he has had a rough past year can you explainto him that Policemen are nice & just making sure everyone is safe? the JERK just shined his lihght in my face and said, UM YEAH than you maam for understandin my position NEVER looking at Josiah)
So now our JEEP is in jail ;) and we have to figure out how we are going to get it out cause it costs money. Monday is a holiday and Tuesday Steve is supposed to start his 1st day of work. Josiah has Pre-school picture day @ 8:30 in the morning!!! and his 1st scrimmage on Tuesday night before the BIG game on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GEEE! I WONDER WHY I FEEL SO UNMOTIVATED & DEPRESSED?!?!?

ReplyDeleteAs difficult as it may be, keep your eyes on the ONE who has made a way before. As difficult as it may be, keep your eyes not on the circumstances that seems to cloud our vision but on the ONE WHO CALMS OUR STORM.
ReplyDeleteJust as Peter who stepped had faith because he was looking at his Master? Hold on, keep looking at Jesus. I can imagine Peter thinking, I was doing good, I was walking on water but then I began to feel the cold water below my feet and I felt the bitter wind against my face and the huge waves surrounded me and then I began to sink, heart pounding, blood rushing from fear of drowning, thinking death was for certian, could it get any worse then suddenly Jesus took his hand and he realized why did I fear, Jesus was with me all the time. Love you ;) this too shall passs...
