Thinking Out Loud!

So today has been a whirlwind of stuff going on~ however I have had a chance to think about stuff in my life and happening around me.

So first I had an epiphany this morning while I was in the shower~

I have been having some difficulty with a situation~ struggling with what appeared to be preferential treatment being bestowed upon some folks who are... well lack of a better word~ out there. These are people who have burned bridges with almost every support system that they have ever had. Yet there is this one lady~ a lady who I just could NOT understand.

Then in the shower, it came to me....

What a true and real blessing this woman is in these peoples lives! I was experiencing jealousy and realized that I had nothing in the world to be jealous over.

I have an amazing support system that includes family, friends, my church family, my husbands family, I could list 20 people I could call on if I needed help. I could name 5 people who would literally drop everything to be there for me if I called on them. I also have my faith to lean on...

These people that I was jealous over~ my goodness... they have no one left in their lives to be there for them. When they call needing help they get a lecture and a door closed on them. This amazing woman is one of the very few who still thinks that they are worth being there for. She is an awesome lady who is not only there for these people, she also reaches out to them before they reach to her. How awesome is that?

The LORD is truly awesome in providing for all who believe in HIM, even the ones who are really screwed up...
