What a day I had! I woke up to nanny at 8 am as usual and walked out front only to realize that my car was nowhere in sight. My first thought:
1. it must be stolen.
followed by...
2. who would want to steal [my] old car??
followed by...
3. was it towed??
It turned out to be #3. You see my development that I live in is a private gated community and they won't let you park overnight on the street (or so they say), I have been parking over night on the street in front of my house ever so often when we have family or friends over and there is no more room...or when i'm just too plain lazy to move it. <<this has to change!
Loong story short, my mom was nice enough to drop me off at work, pick me up, let me borrow $260 (yepp 260=ouch..even typing it hurts) until Jt and I get paid on Friday, and get my car un-towed from the car lot. I would sum up this day best by saying: A LOT of frustration, A LOT of time, A LOT of money, and..A LOT of leaning on God.
My heart mainly really wants to touch on the last one. You see, I was so frustrated today that (my) plans got changed, that (my) car was towed, (my) money was spent, and (my) gym time got pushed to the side. And, it dawned on me, how selfish I really am. This isn't my life to live..it's Gods. I belong to Him, and latley instead of serving Him, I'm serving myself, and (my) agenda. I leaned on Him a lot today...asking Him to forgive me for being so selfish and for getting so upset instead of trusting Him. Days like today I realize just how much Grace God bestows on me, and just how much more I need Him daily. We can't do it without Him, and I am truly lost for words that an Almighty God loves me and adores me. What a concept!
Next time your day goes flying off the track you put it on, remember that God is in control, and maybe just maybe He wants to grow in you a more undivided heart, and open hands.
Keep Walk'n In His Grace.
Love, Michelle
