He Really Does Love Me

Well there's a lot of really tough stuff going on right now, the biggest thing being the possibility of losing just about everything, mainly our house. So needless to say, the depths of despair have been calling. Finding that balance between facing reality and holding on to hope is difficult at best. Especially when I just want to curl up in the corner and shut out the world.

Trust is a difficult thing. God is all powerful, and able to rescue us from this situation at any moment time, there's no doubt about it. But is that what He has for us? Learning to accept the fact that that might not be His will and that we might lose our house, but trusting that He knows best anyway, definitely stretches the faith.

But today God reminded me that He loves me in the form of two of my friends, Megan and Rachel. They came over for the afternoon and completely lifted my spirits. We laughed, and talked, and when Meg had to leave briefly, I poured out my woes to Rachel. She listened and assured me that she and her family are praying for us.

Then when Meg came back we watched the alternate ending to the Disney Channel movie Get A Clue. It's actually one of the better Disney Channel movies and is very entertaining. Anyway, in the original version the bad guy is a fake detective and in the alternate ending the bad guy is a female principle. In both versions the villain is stopped by getting smashed by a giant layered cake. Well they hadn't completely finished the alternate ending so when the principle is laying on the floor smothered in cake, it's not her voice grumbling and groaning through mouthfuls of icing. It's the guy's voice. It sounds so funny! We laughed hysterically and I even rewound it.

It is such a blessing to have friends. I honestly don't know what I would do without friends like Meg, Rachel, Caro, Abbie, my sister Kathryn, and my Mom. Thanks God! =D
