guilty

#1- I had 2 people (Will and Preston) contact me and tell me it annoyed them that I didn't use correct capitalization...so I'll fix that from now on...my bad guys.
#2- I know this is 2 days in a row but don't get used to it because it probably won't happen like that.

I have a confession to make. So yesterday, after I posted my first blog, I went to Walmart. I was focused and on a mission and didn't really wanna see anyone I knew (which is near impossible in hvegas). I saw somebody off to the side and darted the direction I needed to go to try and avoid them. As soon as I did that I realized that was not what I had written about 20 minutes earlier. So then I felt really bad for about 20 seconds because I went down an aisle and naturally saw someone I knew. So I talked to them for a little while and went to check out and of course I see the people I was originally trying to avoid.  I saw they were clearly upset.  It turns out they were talking to a woman whose husband passed away a few months ago. I didn't have to do anything but smile and listen to what they had to say.

So it was obvious that I needed to see those people and God knew that better than I did. I tried to make it a quick trip but He wanted to use me for something else. It's about making yourself available to others. I didn't have to tell them anything interesting, they just wanted to talk. All I had to do was listen...and it wasn't physically challenging for me to smile either.
Try and smile at someone new every day.

So that was part one of my trip. On the way back I couldn't help but think about the woman who lost her husband.
Why do bad things happen to good people?  The answer is simple.  We live in a fallen world--a world full of sin. The answer may be simple, but that doesnt mean the dealing with the situation is that simple. It's not...but I don't think it's supposed to be.  God has a plan.  A perfect plan that is greater than I could ever begin to dream to create for myself. People disappoint and people fail, but God never fails. We have to have faith that He knows what He's doing.  The Creator of the universe...I'd say He has it all figured out, we just have to trust that.  He never promised anything would be easy, and why would it be?  What have any of us done to think we deserve the easy road?  I surely don't deserve it so I know better than to expect it. I don't think you should always expect the worse, but know that whatever happens happens for a very specific purpose.  There is a bigger picture that I cannot see or comprehend. That's okay, I'm not supposed to. Wheres the fun in that right?
