The Bible

I forgot to tell you about my experience last Monday morning. I wanted to start the day refreshed and ready for school, so I got up at six. I put Rufus's food and water outside and let him lose to do his thing and then sat down with my Bible. I had been feeling sorry for myself for the past few days as all of you faithful readers have seen and so I did the read where ever the Bible opens thing. I opened it to Lamentations. Not a book of the Bible I would normally read, but figured God wanted me to see something in that Book. So I started reading the whole book of Lamentations and started to wonder if I should change my reading to something different. Then it happened. Chapter three was what he wanted me to see. I think it was written just for me. It opened my eyes and brought me to my knees in tears begging for God's forgiveness for my weakness and not relying on the one who is in control of everything. When has God ever let me down.
I so often worry about the things in life that only God can control. I need to rely on him to get me through everything. He loves me and my family so much and yet I always fear that we won't be taken care of. I just wanted to share with you my experience and if you have time open your Bible to Lamentations 3 and read it.
After I read it myself the kids and I started our school day with the same chapter. I almost couldn't finish reading because of the emotions it brought to life within me. Thank you all for reading. Have a great Labor Day.
