That Terribly Awkward Wonderful Day

Ever have one of those days where everything seems to go wrong and it just keeps getting worse and you just want to go to bed and cry but you still have one more thing to do. And that thing just blesses you beyond imagine? Well a couple of weeks ago I had one of those days.
Here is the short of it.
I went to work. Work was ok. I found out one of my ear piercings was infected. I simply look up. Great, I think to my self. I go home. I check my email. I find out that there was a technological issue and i still need to raise 60% of my funds. I was literary in shock. What? That means that I have a long road ahead of me to raise funds. Great. I have already told a bunch of people i am almost done fundraising. Awkward. On top of all that I had nothing to care the infection. And now I have to go hang out with a friend, when I would rather be praying about all this stuff.

I can honestly say God was totally there with me in that time with my friend. She took me out to eat. It was free cookie night! And it was great to connect with her. She took me to the store to get stuff to care for my infection. That night God just loved on me.

After I told my support team the news they rallied to arms! My finical adviser looked into the paper work and within a couple of days I had a good bit less to raise.

Looking back on this day and time I could see that I was shaken. But I witnessed the love of God and his power! My ear is healed and money is coming in! During this time Psalm 23 was a great comfort. I want to live and trust in this psalm.

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.


May we choose to live and believe these verses! They are truth!
