God is GOOD!

I knew this next post would tell of His goodness! I just was of little faith and hope last time.  :) 

It is so silly that I let myself get so worried and listen to those stupid voices telling me lies about His goodness!  He is my good father and He always provides for me.  He never leaves me, never has, and never will! 

By the time I showed up to my appointment to sign the lease with the realtor on Friday morning I was a wreck.  Stressed out, having had numerous anxiety attacks, and little arguments with my roommate in my frustration.  5 minutes after I arrived I was walking out of the office shocked at what had just happened.

Looking down into my hands which now held a key to a house and papers with important phone numbers and information on them I nearly fell to my knees right there on the sidewalk!  I am so amazed at how good my Daddy is to me!  I have not been fully obedient to Him this summer, I had let things come between us, I had fallen multiple times, and Yet He loves me still... Yet He blesses me still... Yet He provides for all my needs...Yet He shows me undeserving mercy and more than enough grace...and so, so much more!  I could barely walk, I could barely talk, I could not stop smiling!  Even though I only had less than 20% of what I owed, He made a way to extend the deadline for the money and I still got to sign the lease and get the key!  Maybe I over-reacted and freaked out over nothing...(ok maybe not maybe)...but He is so good!  He is so gentle and kind and never criticizes me when I act like a kid and throw a tantrum! 

This past weekend was ...crazy! 

The first night we stayed at one of my old roommates' house and Emma and I went to the prayer room at 6am...there's a  first time for everything.  Then, at 10am I went to bank to take out as much money as I could to go to the realty office at 11...and, well, you know the story! :)  After that, we went to my new house (!) and checked it out, took inventory, and unpacked my car. Then, I called the utility companies and set up appointments with each one...I was on hold with the water company for over 45 minutes!  It's crazy how that experience made me feel like an adult! :)  They have yet to get back to me... Then, on to PeachWave (FroYo bar! yum!:)) to celebrate!  The rest of the weekend was filled with crazy adventures, enduring a non air conditioned house (:( ), going to IHOP-KC services and prayer room, and more! 

I am so blessed and in awe of what happened this weekend.  My roommate and I are still dealing with little details of our house and we will be for at least 10 months, but more so in the next week or two.  But, I have a good, GOOD Daddy who loves me and what more can I say?! Even through the stressful and frustrating times, I still know that my God is good, He loves me, and He will NEVER leave me or forsake me!  But I still need so much of His help, always, all the time!  "Oh for Grace to Trust Him more!" :)

God is Good, All the Time!
