Never Too Old

As I've discovered the last several weeks/months, is that you are never to old to learn, especially then God is the teacher.  And what a teacher he is, His patience for me is never ending and quite simply unreal.  I'll list a few examples below....

     #1 - I've written about my roof and the leak and waiting on the roofer to get here.  So many days I prayed that the Lord would hold off the "heavy" rain until our roof was done.  Well, again, he has taught me to be patient and also more importantly, be careful and specific about what you pray for.  No sooner did the roof get fixed last Monday, well we got a terrible rain and thunder storm.  And when I mean rain, I mean crazy sideways rain!  And then of course, the power went out!  For over an hour in the dark, all I could think about was how good God was and yes, he does have a sense of humor. 
     #2 - Sometimes, people surprise you.  I've always had opinions about a certain person.  My opinions were formed years ago and maybe not under the best of circumstances.  God puts these people directly in your path so that you can see the error in your ways or to either justify your opinions.  Maybe just a little of both.  Yep, you guessed it, that very same thing is happening to me, even as I type this.
     #3 - "Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything".  This is the HUGE one over the past several weeks.  I've had the most crazy minor "panic" attacks.  Every time the weather man has said "Rain" I've freaked out a little.  To the point that J has even called me out on it.  I'm so crazy hard headed sometimes and want to take charge of things, even when they are out of my control.  I've prayed and am still praying that God really helps me out with this one. 

So am I perfect, gracious NO!  AM I HUMAN, Oh boy am I!!  Hard headed, stubborn, panic attack prone, doubting, judgment making me, is so not perfect or deserving of the LOVE that the Lord has given and the many Blessings that he bestows on me every single day.  I am just grateful that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for my sins, past, present and future (I'm human remember).
