CONSIDER IT A GIFT? YEAH RIGHT!
I Had To Put On My Big Girl Panties.

James1:2 Consider it a gift, friends, when tests and challenges come to you from all sides.
It was one of those days. Nothing traumatic….just ONE BIG MESS!
I was just beginning to make preparations for my part-time job as a PAX Partner in Union Co. Schools. I was to meet with a Co-worker at the office to prep at 1:00p.m.
I had already changed our meeting time once, since I was to pick my sister up at the airport at 11:10.
My husband was sweet enough to drive me, since I hate Columbus traffic. At 10:30 we headed out and made a quick stop at the bank. While there, I got text and pic of the plane. You guessed it. There were mechanical problems, and they had not yet taken off. At 11:00a.m. another text arrived, giving us the same update.
OK! It was time to reboot and reroute my day. UGH!!! For the 3rd time, I called my co-worker and changed our meeting. I dropped hubby off at home, headed for the office and hoped for the best.
Finally I got the text that they would be landing at 1:30. Perhaps my Tom could still drive. Perhaps my buddy Diane could drive.
As my work ensued, at the office, my God-Talk began. “There’s nothing to it. Dear God you drove all over the state alone to teach seminars. You and I will drive together. Yes, Lord. I remember, God’s got it!”
Traffic was awful, as I was detoured, due to a wreck.” Praise you, Father. It’s not me.” I got to the cell phone lot, and within a minute, the text arrived that they had landed. We made it home safely, no big deal!
Stress happens on a daily basis. You can either blow the situation out of proportion, or take it in stride. God and I chose the latter.
HEAVENLY FATHER: I thank for Your peace that passes all understanding. It’s only through you, that we can walk through the storm of life and survive. Thank You Father.
In Jesus Precious Name I pray.
