Philippians 4:6-7
Saturday, July 17, 2010
So im slowly starting to learn to put my trust in God again. This has always been really hard for me and lately it seems like I don't do it at all.
BACK STORY:
Tonight I went to McDonalds for a late night chicken nugget run. When I got to the window to get my food I have my debit card in my hand and the guy said "It's on the house tonight". I was really surprised by that and I just thought cool, Saved me 4 bucks. So I drove to the trash can to throw an old cup from lunch that day away to make room for my large Dr. Pepper(also a gift from God). When I tossed it in the trash my 5 year olds hand eye coordination kicked in and I missed and the drink splattered on the ground, SOO I got out of the car and picked up the cup and threw(from a closer starting point of course) it in the trash. I had totally forgot that when the guy said I didn't have to pay I just sat my debit card in my lap. So I get back in the car and drive home but when I got there I saw that I didn't have my card. I tore my car apart looking for it and checkin my wallet 30 times in all 11 pockets and it wasn't anywhere to be found. So I remembered that I had just got out of the car at McDonalds so I drove back there the whole time praying Jesus please just let it either be there or just let it be in this car somewhere. When I got there it wasn't on the ground so I drove back home ready to go online and just cancel it which I really didn't want to do SO I pulled in the driveway and tore the car apart again and gave up...still praying... as soon as I lock my car I open my wallet one last time and guess what was in there??? MY DEBIT CARD. Thats right. I'm not sure how to explain this because I'd bet a million dollars that it wasn't in there.
THIS BRINGS ME TO:
One night after we got home from church camp a long long long long time ago me, my sister, and Katie Hoffpauir were riding in her car on the way back from Jo Martins pool party and my sister thought she lost her cell phone and she was really freaking out about it. So were looking everywhere for it and Katie says Lacey just pray about it, and Lacey says "I'm not going to pray about something so stupid" but katie said just remember Philippians 4:6 and we all prayed about it and Lacey found her phone just a few minutes later. Since that night I have always remembered this moment and Philippians 4:6 has been such a huge part of my life.
Philippians 4:6-7
"6 do not be anxious about ANYTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
I really need to start blogging regularly again. Its my favorite thing to do. Plug in the headphones and just type. We'll see.
Namaste,
