to drop you on your butt... I was talking with a very good friend of mine this morning about having faith that things will work out ok. She's going through some trying times and believes she is being punished in order to learn a lesson...
I just cannot believe that. It seems to me if God (or whatever you name it) is supposed to be Love then this just isn't possible. I think we are responsible for the amount of suffering and fear we feel. We can change our attitude at anytime. We can look at the present moment and see what it is we are lacking and in most cases we will find there is nothing we need right NOW. Maybe we don't have everything we want or think we need for the future but we are taken care of in that moment.
Its funny too because as the moments change and new needs for each moment present themselves...the solution will usually presents itself as well... For me there has always seemed to be just enough of whatever I needed at the time. Maybe not as much as I may have wanted or thought I needed, but enough never-the-less.
I just need to remember to be grateful for what I do have and not be too hard on myself for being human and messing up, then I need to let God do what He does best and have a little faith that I will be taken care of, no matter what I've done.

God is love and sometimes He is tough love. He tests our faith in Him and the tougher the test is, the closer you will be to Him in the end. I know this, I feel this, I acknowledge this...I am amazed by this. At no time has God dropped me on my butt and turned His back, I believe He has dropped me on my butt to coach me, encourage me, help me realize what I am capable of if I rely on Him. Thanks for listening to me this morning when I was throwing my pity party! I'm over it now :) me
