I was off work today and spent it at a dear friend's house. I was watching her kids, which gave Natalee some kids to play with too! Yay! I have been friends with my girlfriend since college and as well as her husband.
She got home and I was almost done finishing making dinner when I commented on her FB post. "God does provide". Let's be for real...I have a hard time remembering that...it normally takes me to get to church, go through alter call, sob ridiculously, just to accept the fact that God does provide. She just amazes me...I felt like boom she got it!
After I asked her what was going on, it hit me. You see I hold this dear friend and her family in my heart as "having it together" and "the model family". They are Christians, each on there own pace with Christ. But for the first time I ACTUALLY got it....she has her yuck too. She named her yuck from last week by days...some financial and some family. Whew! I felt for her. I understood her yuck! Then she began telling me all the good parts...the stuff that makes the yuck go away. Hence her stating in her status..."God does provide." While we don't have the same yuck...we have yuck.
I love visiting with her and her family. Her kids are great. She works very hard. She is like the rest of us...a working mother of 3. I know that God is covering her with His grace too. It is only by His grace that we are able to move on through the yuck.
