This weekend was packed. School meetings, church and church meetings, and even serving at a wedding. Case and point I forgot to get my transpass from my friend in south philly. By the time I got around to it, a steady stream of ice was cascading from the sky above and there was no way I was making the trek.
I settled that I would pay cash the following day for the bus and would get my transpass that next evening.
Fast forward to today. This morning we had a 2-hour delay due to the ice so I was able to sleep in. As I went to pay for my first bus I was rejected by a broken receiver. First bus was free. 20 minutes later, while standing at my bus transfer point, I waited in frustration over the delayed bus. When the bus was finally about to pull up, one of my students came up behind me and asked me if I wanted a ride. He had spotted me on the corner while his dad was sitting at the red light. Second "bus" was free.
I was just so encouraged today by Gods provision even in the simple things. He sees our struggle, He hears our frustration and He WANTS to provide for us. We just need to give him the opportunity to do that instead of trying to just do life on our own in a way that pleases Him. Nothing pleases Him more than spending time with us. Taking care of us. We are his children after all.
As I strive to go deeper in my faith I hope to continue letting God take care of me. I don't have to do it "by myself" anymore.
