MY UNBELIEF

What I most want to communicate in this blog post is the reality that we all struggle with unbelief. The sermon this morning was about unbelief, and I realized that reality so clearly just yesterday with our garage sale. I have been praying for weeks for this sale to be successful, and I have been very anxious that it would not go well and we would have to break our backs hauling away all the stuff. I catastrophized it really, because that's not that big of a deal anyway in the bigger scheme of things. But anyway, it went better than I could have dreamed. Not only did we get rid of the stuff and only have to haul 1 load away, but we finished by 1 and we met some new friends along the way! God really blessed us. But the thing is, whether it went well in my eyes or not, God always blesses me. He knows what is best way more than me. Its kind of like how my African American friends always answer "Blessed and Highly Favored" when asked how they are, no matter the circumstances. I unbelieve very often. I am glad that Jesus died for my unbelief.
