It has been awhile, but I wanted to post something that God did for me today. I have faith in God and I know that God will do things for me, but why I doubt Him or His ability to take care of me.
So I take care of finding place to have youth group and for some reason I had spaced it this last week. Come This past Saturday I did not have any meeting places set up for out meeting in 2 weeks or any other meetings in October or December. I had tried calling a couple of people and could not get anyone and thought, I need to know where we are meeting, because we have y.g. tomorrow night. So I talked with the other youth worker and we decided to have youth group at my house. This might not sound like a bad idea, but we have about 20 young people and we eat and play games and our house is not huge, but we will make due.
On the way to church this morning, I let Wes know we would be meeting at our house and he said, "no we are not". I was totally frustrated and at my wites in, and so I just prayed and asked God, "Lord, I need your help, I feel like the youth is becoming a burden to people, people are not offering any more to host and I just can't ask any more people. Lord, I need you to have people come and let me know they will host, I just can't do it." I know weak, but sometimes you just come to your end. Right before church started one of the ladies I had called and left a message for came up to me and wanted to know if I had filled the dates yet for youth group. I explained to her that the November ones were open, but I could not remember the dates and I would need to get back with her, but then she said I had mentioned an October date, and wanted to know if that date was still open. I said, well we were going to have it at my house, due to it being short notice and she said,I will do it. We can have it at my house in 2 weeks no problem, and then let me know what November date you want me to host.
INSANE!! I was blown away and had to just chuckle to myself. God you are to funny!!
So then after the service the other lady I had called and left a message with, came and asked me what I need to talk to her about. I told her no big deal, becuase you have a lot of family problems right now, just don't worry about it. She asked me if it was regarding the youth. I let her know that I was calling to see if she would be wiling to host a youth group meeting in Novemeber and She said,"Of course I will, just let me know the dates, I have been wanting to do that."
How good is God? Here I had prayed at my wites end and prayed very specific and God had answered in the way I prayed. I just cry as I think about it. I was just frsutrated and he heard me. Why do I doubt Him, His goodness and his ability to take care of me.
I wanted to let you know that God is good. He has a sense of humor, even though I was frustrated and prayed to him, he still answered my pray and right down to the people coming up and asking me, and that people I had called a left a message for.
Praise God, He is good and he hears us.

Isn't it awesome to know that God has a plan, even when we don't?
Glad to hear that God is real in your life Jo!

God is so good. I know what you mean about doubting and questioning though. It's hard to give over control and give it to Him somedays!!
