I can see God working...

It has been a few days since I posted last and I will try to make up.

I had a rough day yesterday. I had something stressful happen and then I could not sleep. So I took care of the problem and then by the time I could sleep it was time to start my usual day with what I had to do. So by the time I could sleep it ended up being 36 or more hours.

It is funny because during the time of stress is when we have to trust God the most and not worry. It is hard to do. It is in our nature to try and fix things ourselves. Then when we can't we call on God.

Yesterday was not a typical day for me. When things were stressful I prayed and asked God to help me not stress or lose my temper. When the person I was dealing with was angry and yelling. I know I could feel my temper rise inside me and I was feeling angry but I talked in a calm voice. I felt afterwards that I had failed because I felt angry but as I was driving home God made me realize I did not fail I never spoke in anger and when I could have easily spoken back in anger I did not respond. And he was right of course! He was with me the whole time. It felt good to realize I had not let the devil twist me into his trap. Later the person called me and was sorry. I can see where God worked it out for the best by allowing him to work it out not me. We tend to mess things up more. I know I do.

My Dad is doing great. I went up yesterday during one of his physical therapy sessions and he is actually using his left leg to walk not kicking it with his hip. He still does not have the full range of motion yet. Now to wait for the left hand to show some progress. It will happen in GOD's Time.

I came home and made black bean chili and put it in the crock pot. Then I went to bed because I couldn't stay awake any longer. When Ken came home he came in to check on me and asked me what I did different to the chili. I think I was in a groggy state because I wasn't sure I remembered making chili. He told me it was awesome. I remembered I had cut up cilantro and put in it and also added some cumin. That was the only thing I did different.
