Sometimes life, with all of its decisions comes at you fast, know what I mean? The more I think that life should become stable, the more changes there are that happen.
I had a good laugh at myself this week. I was having a rough day yesterday and I was stressing over some things coming up in my life and I was pitiful in my prayer. Then, near the end of my walk a thought came to mind and I began laughing out loud. I realized that I was approaching God in the same way the Israelites did in the wilderness. They kept crying out to God saying, "Did you lead us into the desert to let us die? Weren't there enough graves for us in Egypt?" It's like they had short-term memory loss and couldn't remember what God had done the day before. Well, my prayer would have been something like,"God, are you going to bring me to Findlay to let me get burned-out, in debt and leave me to fend for myself?" Have I already forgotten the hard year God got me through, the university job He provided me and the friends He's given me here? Not to mention the thousands of dollars He's given me for college and Mexico. Oh, Angelina, you of little faith. After God made me laugh at myself, my perspective changed and I'm trusting my Savior!
