Why are some days so hard? Struggle, struggle, up hill trudge. I came home from vacation to one battle after another- go figure! The grass was knee high but the mower wouldn’t start. All 4 tires flat 😳 needed air, oil, a filter… blah blah. No quick fix. Bushy bushes and the battery for that job-dead. Car issue, fridge issue, toilet issue 🙄 homeownership woes.
Slowly, bit by bit it was an untangling of messes. As my husband and I worked, I watched to see what God was up to. I’m always looking for a point… for me personally. What can I learn? What is God trying to show me? I prayed that I’d be enlighten.
While under the bushes pulling overgrown ivy from around the AC unit, I discovered a hose extension buried. About 3 feet long and full of dirt, I cleaned it out imagining that the former owner must have left it behind. Attaching it to our spicket I discovered it solved a long-annoying problem. Miraculously the garden hose wasn’t spraying in all directions at the connection.
It may sound silly, but amongst all the setbacks and frustrations of the day, I was given a gift. A silly simple gift that made me thankful. It even made me aware God was with me and guiding me like every other day. He has a perfect plan for His creation and I have a purpose in His plan.
I don’t know how all that fits together, but I was assured He hears me and He loves me. He sent Jesus to rescue me. I can trust Him on easy days and difficult ones. He is faithful, He is true, and frustrations or not- He is God and there is no other! -Anna
