Today has been such an off day from the very beginning. Within an hour of being up, there was a car crash a block away from where I live involving this BMW that is always speeding through town (some teenager). Apparently he took the corner too sharp and slid into this blue truck who had his pregnant girlfriend in the passenger seat. From what I heard, she wasn't able to move because of a neck injury so PLEASE keep her in your prayers. Stuff like this makes me so sad :( I hope that the baby is okay!
The next part of my day involved my Jetta's transmission going out. We had just bought the car around July and it has been one thing after another with it. And now is NOT the time that we have extra money to just toss around.
To top the day off, my sons naps have been all over the place today [we struggle with him only taking 30 minute naps]. I am trying to get him on some sort of schedule but nothing seems to work with him. I feel like he is impossible at times! Oh and we just started officially crawling two days ago so he has been crawling to any object, pulling himself to his knees...then his feet...and then let's go and falls backwards. He hasn't learned to not do that yet :/ The worst is when he does it in his crib and I am not there to catch him. Owie!
All this to say, I realized that I have not been putting my complete faith in God. I feel like lately I have been trying to micro manage my own life when really...I don't have ANY control over it at all. When I opened my book today it was saying that when we want something very strongly, we can easily convince ourselves that it is God's will for us to have it. When the bible says "in due time" (1 Peter 5:6), "at the appointed time" (Genesis 18:14), "when the proper time" (Galatians 4:4). It is all in God's timing, not ours. That is so reassuring! So whatever it is in your life that you are trying to control, let go and let God.
I think that is all I had on my mind today :)
