All things Together for my Good

Sorry I haven't written in a while guys. To be honest though I haven't had anything that worthwhile to say so it's probably a good thing!! 

So, firstly I would like to tell you about my day. Right now it is like 3 degrees out, I have been waiting at a bus stop for half an hour now and when the bus does arrive it will be one minute AFTER my job was supposed to have started. I haven't had any breakfast, my throat is killing me and I'm hoping work don't hate me when I have to steam-heat my soup during my break today because otherwise I will have nothing to eat until at least three. So yeah my morning pretty much sucks. (This does get relevant I promise)

So about ten minutes ago I was singing 'your love never fails' and basically getting mad at God for not having magically shown a second bus for me to go to work on or given me my hat which I left at work or having a family member wake me up / be awake to take me into work. I was basically thinking, JESUS if you love me why on earth would you let this happen to me? And I heard him say:

Sometimes my love, these things happen because of your own actions. 

I am in this horrible cold situation right now because I overslept. I knew I was gonna as soon as my alarm went off and nearly set another one but just went back to sleep instead. I am not in this situation because God hates me and clearly wants to spite me and make me late for work. 

Just because he can USE all things for our good doesn't mean he MAKES all the things happen. He just gracefully uses our mistakes to help us live the most glorified life possible (for his name). And although this is a pretty pathetic example I think this might be relevant to some people today but on larger scales and because my iPod ran outa battery and therefore my music is not here to accompany me, I have decided to share my relegation with you all! Hope it had made some sense and that God blessed you in all your silly mistakes, just like mine ❤️
