Spring break was a hit this year.
Not because we went on some fancy vacation, or did some extravagant thing, but because this was the 1st year that my daughters had the same week off for spring break. My oldest daughter flew in from college, and we got to spend good, fun, quality time with each other.
Sleepovers in my bedroom, fun outings exploring Dallas, watching old shows together, lots of laughter and the list goes on.
My heart was full having my little family together again. It was perfect. But with the way my week was prior to, I wasn\’t sure how our time would turn out.
My wallet was stolen, I couldn\’t rent the car I needed for the plans I originally had because my driver\’s license was in the stolen wallet, bank cards…gone, no appointments available at the BMV until April. It was not looking good for me at all. I already knew – petty warfare. I was so frustrated & I did cry a little but, I kept going. I whined about it to the Lord & changed my mindset. I reordered the bank cards & decided to go to the BMV without an appointment. I was working on faith & trust.
I\’m happy to report that everything worked in my favor. The cards came on time, I was able to get in at the BMV, and I was able to rent the car. The Lord worked it all out for me. Us, rather.
Our time together was so wonderful. I missed my girl! I missed us all just hanging out together. We shopped, ate good, explored, and even went ice skating! It was time well spent and I\’m so grateful to God for working it all out.
Sometimes the enemy tries to frustrate the small things to distract us from the joy God already had planned. That\’s why I took it to the Lord. I noticed that I started being frustrated at the wrong people. The Lord, my family, myself. I had to go to my closet and give it to the Lord. He heard me and He helped me.
Petty warfare didn\’t win, God did. God handled the details, so we could enjoy the blessing.
