Too Much Time Reading

You know you've spent too much time reading blogs when you start dreaming about the people you read about. Last night I dreamt that I was babysitting a certain blogger's child and decided to potty train the child.

God Helps Those Who __________

When I was growing up I saw those t.v. commercials in which a woman brought home the bacon and fried it in a pan. In my early college years I became friends with an angry feminist. I went to college in the years of the Yuppie. I live in the Land of Opportunity where many people pulled themselves up by their bootstraps.

I'm unemployed and feel so powerless.

My best just isn't making it.

I rely more and more on God and miracles and hope.

I feel so weak. I feel so guilty like I'm not pulling my own weight.

I think and then I feel so overwhelmed. So I dump it all on God. Didn't we hear in a recent reading at church that His yoke is lighter? But then I feel so inadequate.

But when I try to do it all myself, I feel like I get nowhere.

But when I give it all to God, I just go on my merry way. Then I think again and know I should be doing more to help myself.  So where's the fine line between taking responsibility and giving it all to God?

I like giving it all to God, but then I feel lazy. I get lazy.

I try to solve my own problems all by myself. After all, I have a brain. Yet there is much out of my control. There is heaviness that I can't carry by myself. So I turn to God and enjoy another day. But then I feel disappointed in myself for not succeeding.

I am so tired of this treadmill. I turn to God then I feel like a wimp.

What am I trying to say?

Has Your Credit Card or Debit Card been Rejected at the Grocery Store?

That's what happened to me yesterday. Oh oh. I had some cash and the MAN in line behind me paid the $5.00 difference!

Yep, a COMPLETE STRANGER paid for my food.

I thanked him of course.

Dear God, please bless this kind man. Thank you, God, for this man's generosity. Thank you, God, for this man who let me have nutrition.
