$3.24

So it occurred to me today when it was raining outside that it was raining outside. I know, I know, I don't make any sense. Its just that it got me thinking about rain and how a lot of times when it is raining outside I wish that it wasn't and I wish that I lived somewhere where it never rains. Then i started thinking about how miserable it would be if it never rained and I was glad that it was raining. Then I started thinking about that verse in Matthew that says that God, who is our father, makes the sun to shine on the good and the evil, and He makes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust. Then I started thinking about the fact that Kristin and I only have $3.24 in our bank account right now, and my next paycheck won't come till Monday (or if we are lucky...tomorrow!) and that Kozy only has 2 diapers left, and we don't know what we are going to do, or how we are going to get by, but we know that God brought us here for a reason and He won't just leave us here to fend for ourselves. Thinking about this makes me smile. God holds the universe in His hands. If He should want to tilt them just so and have a few million dollars land my way I won't complain. If He wants to tilt them the other way just so and take everything I have in my bank account away to teach me how to manage His money better when He gives it to me that's okay too. So I say...let it rain! Let it all come down and let us all just trust that God is good, and that He knows what He is doing and that He will work it all out.
Thanks,
-Joshua
