This week something unexpected happened.
I can’t disclose the details, but it wasn’t good news, and it really rocked me. In fact, I am still recovering and regrouping from it.
As much as we plan and try to control things, you never know what the day will bring.
I always trust God but even with that trust we aren’t always prepared enough are we? In my situation, God had my back even when I didn’t know what was going on. I’m very thankful for that.
Life can change and we should never think it won’t happen to us.
I woke up this morning wondering if I am ready for what the day will bring. We falsely assume we have it all under control when the reality is that we don’t.
Trusting God doesn’t mean that bad things won’t still happen.
Trusting God doesn’t mean we will be happy about it.
Trusting God doesn’t mean we won’t sometimes question that trust.
There are some mornings I wake up with a crushing headache that I didn’t expect. It’s those days that I know it is going to take something extra for me to push through that day.
I know I’m sounding real encouraging right now but this is real life my friends. Serving God isn’t always worship songs everyday. We sometimes give people this false impression about believers. We struggle too.
My life has been rocked this week but I’m trusting God to help me to recover. It ain’t easy and it ain’t fun but there is no other.
Life sucks. No need to sugar coat that with a Bible verse or Christian cliche. We are all trying to get through life and doing the best that we can.
We the unexpected happens, I usually freak out first then spend time processing but ultimately, I regroup and come out with a renewed determination. I’m not quite there yet but God is my rock, and I know that my strength will be renewed.
