God promises us that no matter what happens He is with us. He will always be in the boat with us. We will still go through trials that’s just part of life. Many trials I’ve been through have made me into the woman I am today. Would I change that. I don’t know. What I went through was horrendous but it’s given me the biggest heart and I so understand those children that have trauma in their lives and I understand. I also know what they need and it’s amazing to watch those children transform. I love that I can ask the right questions and be able to help make someone’s day a whole lot better.
Yesterday I was on my way to see a new counselor and I had been feeling the tightness again about money. It seems like I never can make enough to sustain my lifestyle and that’s just basic living. I’m waiting to go into cheaper housing and I thought maybe there was a space coming up but that will be for me to wait longer. It’s in God’s timing so I’m good with that. I like where I live now but rent in this town is outrageous. On my way I drove in one of my favorite roads and as I was driving to my right I saw this cool stump and on the top of it was a huge bald eagle. Wow I wish I was not driving so I could have stopped and taken a photo but it’s etched in my mind.
Those who know me, know that God sends me bald eagles just when I need them. They show me that God is near and that there is nothing to worry about and that He’s always looking after me. Yes he’s proven that so many times over. I’ve seen some amazing bald eagles. I don’t see them often but I see them and then it reminds me that it’s going to be all right. I often feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck. It’s the coolest feeling. ” For centuries, people have seen eagles as a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination, and grace. This bird is important and symbolic to humanity because of its characteristics.”
For me it’s that reminder that God is with me and I’m going to be ok. God meets all of my needs. I continue to trust Him in all things in my life. Proverbs 3: 5, 6 reminds us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on. your own understanding; in all your ways submit to. Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Next time you feel that God is not there, He’s there and He always is with us. Reach out to Him. What ways do you see that God is there for you?
