Everything will be alright

Well this weekend was an eventful weekend that will stick with me for a long time! Well to start off Friday we had a great time with family that came in town it was nice visiting with josh,sara and the boys nate and aaron. Kristofer and Kolton had a great time playing with them and emily. It was actually relaxing which was unlike the rest of the weekend! Saturday we had a Junior Bible Quiz meet in Ellettsville,IN. The kids all did great I was proud of them all, Kristofer did buzz in which I was very happy with that. Although he didn't remember the question after that , he still took a chance and that is all that matters. His team did place 1st so that was really exciting. Then after the meet I was getting ready to go do some shopping in Bloomington with the boys, and needless to say that didn't happen. I locked my keys in the car or should I say my lil man Kolton did! So we spent about a half an hour trying to get in but no luck there, so I had to leave my car and ride the bus back. Which I was really upset but hey it happens so I went with it. To make a long story short my friend Crystal said she would bring me back with our spare set of keys so she did and we finally got home around 7. Thru this situation that to some may not have been so big but to me at the time it was a big deal. But God showed me something today with this situation. As many of you know that my dad passed away in August and it was really hard or should I say it's really still hard. Yesterday when I did that with my car I really just wanted to pick up the phone and call him and see what he could do, because in the past that is what I would have done. My dad did everything for me and I really relied on that. And God showed me yesterday that even though my dad isn't here anymore with me that God has given me people who really do care about me and are willing to help me when I need it the most. Sometimes you get to thinking that you are in this alone but God showed me that I'm not. And then in Sunday School tonight our lesson was titled GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. It spoke to me that so many times we think that we have to do things on our own but we dont' God is there and He will always be there. He said in His Word that He will not leave us nor forsake us. It's amazing how we can be in a crowded room full of people and still feel so alone, and to be honest that is how I have been feeling for a few weeks just alone. But I thank God for me locking my keys in the car yesterday to teach me something that I'm not alone. God has blessed me with a church family that just arent' people I go to church with but are just like family we are brothers and sisters in Christ. What could be better! I just want to thank those true friends who were there yesterday and not just yesterday but who have really been there these past few months to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Not to brag on these but I just want them to know how much they really mean to me, Crystal, Amber, Viola and Sarah Thompson. I also have some family members that have been there alot for me to and I thank God for them as well, Hannah, sara. Don't ever take forgranted those whom God has placed in your path. thank you guys for being there!
