I got ID-ed today for buying alcohol again. The check-out lady did not believe I was 24. Today of all days where I had to be the most adult I've ever had to be in terms of decision making! If only she knew...Haha.
Adult life is hard. And it sucks big time too. Today GHW & I had the challenge of making proper adult decisions. Boy, it wasn't pretty. But after some quiet time, I took the moment to re-evaluate what that big hoo-ha GHW & I were to-ing and fro-ing about. All those tears, heated conversations, tachycardic episodes - what for? The lesson we've learnt since kindergarten sunday school still applies - God has a plan for each and everyone one of us. No matter what we do or what we say, if it ain't part of His plan, it ain't gonna work.
And the Bible still says the same thing. The very same memory verse that's been inked deep in our hearts - it just took a little harder to dig out today, that's all...
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4: 6-7.
3 hours after all that un-neccessary drama, I sit in my hall, smelling the roses, sipping my age-limit-okayed Pimms and think: It's great to be surrounded by family who love me and even greater to know that I've got a God who loves me. He who will always be there, who has a perfect plan for me, and who will never give me more than I can bear.
Currently: At total peace with myself. Now, i've got to work on that boy of mine!!!
