O happy day

Hi everyone,
Today was a difficult day but a good day. Sometimes the Lord chooses to allow trials in your life so that He can reach others. I am learning that it is so important how I handle myself as a christian in the hard times because someone is always watching. My testimony needs to stay right for the Lord even when times are tough. Today I had a flat tire and had some trouble changing it and after two adult men tried to help me I gave the good old AAA a call and they saved the day. Then as he was driving away I got in the car to start it and it wouldn't so needless to say after an hour of my already hungry and tired children complaining I called AAA again and the same guy had to come back out and Jump the car. The whole time I was thinking "Lord what do you need me to do right now" and I fully believe that man needed to hear the gospel and how much Jesus loves Him. It wasn't coincidence that the same guy had to help me twice. My carnal side wanted to push the car off a cliff and stomp my feet but God had other plans. How is the world going to know if we don't tell them. As christians we need to stop throwing pity parties and start doing something for the Lord. There are always trials in life, they never stop. Always around the corner is the next one. I heard such a good sermon the other day about David and Goliath. I always wondered why David picked up 5 stones when He knew God would allow Him to kill Goliath with one. It was because David thought he would have to fight many more attackers and not just Goliath. He was ready for more. When we get done fighting one Goliath in our life we will have to fight another one. We have to be prepared and ready to fight. I need to be doing everything possible daily to be stronger in the Lord, that means studying my Bible and memorizing so that I can attack the battles of weariness, down-heartedness, temptation, backsliding and anything else Satan throws my way. We live in such a world right now where people are hungry for answers. Let's give them the Bible and what God has to say and watch it change their lives. I say all this because God has really changed me and is changing me daily to make me more like Him and He knows He has a whole lot of work to do on me. My prayer everyday is to be less like myself and more like Him because when I rely on myself I always fall flat on my face but the cool thing about my God is that He is always there to pick me up.
God is good all the time
