God cares for the misfits

Sometimes I find it difficult to feel that God cares for us. Sometimes it's hard to know where he is in this crazy world. But, the there are days like today when it is so obvious that God cares and is right in the middle of this crazy world. I work with a man who I think most of society would consider to be a social misfit. He's a single father trying to raise two teenage boys. He doesn't have the best personal hygiene or social skills. Today someone randomly brought him an ice cream bar from dairy queen. I don't know who it was, but it was someone. Even though this man may have a very difficult time fitting in and fighting off racism, there is still someone who cares about him. This got me thinking, sometimes I feel like I don't fit in, but there is always someone who cares about me. This world is sinful and because of that there will always be misfits. I may not be able to care for every single one of them, but I can show the ones that I know that they are valued and important in this world. I challenge you also to think of the misfits that you know. Do they know how precious and important to God they are? How can you make them feel like they belong in this crazy world?

So, another post from me eh? Well, I don't really have anything exciting in my life going on.... yet. Right now it seems like everything is up in the air and I don't have a clue. But when you think about it, who really knows what's going on in their lives at the time. I think sometimes we might not understand what's going on until after it's over. Well I don't know where I'm living in fall, but then again I might not even be here tomorow, neither might you. I don't know what tomorow brings and maybe I'm not ready to know. I know it's hard to follow my jumbled thoughts, I'm sorry. I don't have a clue, ride the wave, trust in the one up above, he'll always be true. Hey! It's a poem! Yeah, that's me.

So, I have a prayer request for me. Today I went and looked at a one bedroom apartment. It was pretty nice and I liked it. The rent is 440 a month, which is not too bad considering what some other places cost. I need you to pray for wisdom and that I would know what to do in this situation. I know it would be cheaper to have a roomate, but maybe I kinda want to have my own place. Maybe it's selfish, but I also know that I don't know to many people who I could ask to move in with me. so, yeah that's whats going on with me now. I appreciate your prayers and if anyone has a word of advice please let me know. I know that if I take this place I will have to make some sacrifices with how I spend my money, and if I do have more car trouble things could get tight, I also know that this is almost as cheap as I'm going to find for one bedroom apartments. Thanks for your prayers.

Good news! My car is fine, sometimes I just hear noises. This week brings some very early mornings for me though. I have to be up at five to be at work for six. Ugh! And to make things even crazier I have a few very busy evenings coming up, but hurray for the long weekend.

God knows best

So, apperently God thinks he knows better than me. I know it's true he does. I thought my car trouble was over for awhile, but now I'm not so sure. My car started making funny noises again. Not sure whats wrong with it, but atleast God's in control and not me. He knows what I need and I know things will work out for the good. But still I ask for your prayers as I face these troubles with my car again. I'll keep ya posted as to what happens with it. Thanks

God's faithfulness and Dandylions

Today I was reading in Deuteronomy about God's faithfulness. The Isrealites strayed and wandered but still God always brought them back. He made a covenant with them and always promised to take them back no matter how much they strayed. He wanted obedience, knowing that it wouldn't happen he still made the covenant to be faithful to them. Wow, this really shows how much God loves his people. God is a god who never changes. I am amazed by that and that he is still faithful to his promises no matter how I feel. The way I feel about things will constantly change but God is always faithful. Lately I have had a hard time "feeling" God's faithfulness. I've been facing new uncertainties. My roomate is getting married in the end of August so that means that I need a new roomate and or a new place to live come fall. In the past few days instead of trusting God and remembering his faithfulness I have been worrying about my future. I want to know everything. I feel like I have so many unanswered questions about life. Sometimes I just have to wait for my answers and I don't like that. But I have seen God's faithfulness and I know it is true, so I guess I just have to wait.

While I'm waiting I may as well enjoy the beauty outside. Rienfeld is covered with dandylions and I love it! They're so bright and yellow and happy. I jut want to rn through the grass and... well I don't know.. and run through the grass? Ok so maybe a little cheesey, but I like cheese. When you've got cheese you've got choice! (Now my ADD is really showing. Hahahaha.)

That's all for now folks
until next time,

Life is fragile

It's late and I should be going to sleep soon, but I just needed to share about my day at work today. One of my co-workers was complaining that he wasn't feeling to well. He then went to go tell another person and she sent him to the supervisor. When he found the supervisor, he almost collasped. This was all very scary to watch because I didn't realize that there was something seriously wrong until then. we then got the ambulance to come. This co-worker of mine was obviously in pain and it looked like he was having some heart trouble. Finally the ambulance came and took him away to the hospital. All this happened within the first 45 minutes of work. It makes me think again about how fragile life is. This guy was only 39 and I might have wittnessed him having a heart attack. Going back to work was hard, I couldn't help but worry. Was he okay? What about his kids? Why him? He's a single father. Please, God let him be okay. But the day went on and I still don't know how he's doing or what was going on. So that was my day. If you wouldn't mind praying for him, I'm sure he would appreciate it. His name is Rod.
