be a warrior not a worrier

Its been awhile since I've posted. Yes, I've been busy, school is starting soon so we've had various appointments and I took a two day class. But really I havent been feeling up to posting. I want my blog to be positive uplifting experience for my readers. Lately, I've been struggling. As much as I have tried to give my worries to God, I have been bogged down with worry. I know many people may be worried about something at any point in time. Whether its financial, family, employment, or health worries, we all struggle with this. I could make a VERY long list of things I'm currently worried about. I have prayed and I SAY I have given these worries to God. Then I get frustrated because I see everyday that things are still the same. My husband reminds me that God is an on time God. He will provide in His time. I was reminded of this just this weekend. I drive a 2005 Honda CRV with nearly 150,000 miles on it. It has been a very reliable car for me. But I know with every mile I drive something may break. This summer I noticed that when I idle at a stop light or drive thru that the car would run hot and the AC would blow hot air. I put coolant in it and it got a little better. I then discovered BOTH my radiator fans had stopped working. My husband convinced me to take it to the shop to see if it was a bad fuse, relay switch or if they needed to be replaced. It was determined that indeed both fan motors would need to be replaced, with labor, would cost approximately $600. I was devastated. There was no way I could pay that. Several years ago I filed for bankruptcy so I lost all my credit cards, which by the way was the reason why I had to file in the first place. On the way to pick my car up my husband suggested that I/we try to apply for credit with the shop, for my Ozark readers, is Waley's beside McDonald's. I argued that I wouldn't get approved and I would feel even worse. It was an option and I figured that I had nothing to lose so I applied. I was approved.......with a $700 limit. I about fell over. I coulldnt believe it. God IS  an on time God. I need to have faith that my worries will be taken care of.  God will provide. I have to admit that there have been times when I didn't have money and I thought for sure that we wouldn't have grocery or medicine money. But we always have what we need when we need it. I don't always understand the HOW or WHY but God has provided. The other day one of my FB friends, Crystal posted the following:Knowledge is knowing when you can't. Faith is knowing that God can. Wisdom is finding a solution in chaos. Courage is making a change even through the fear. I read this several times. To summarize it... I can't do it alone..but God can find a solution if I have the courage to overcome my fear and believe that my situation will change. That's huge for me.....because I'm human and I'm a worrier. However, in building faith I will become a warrior and not a worrier.
