Life is like a box of Chocolates...

Life is most certainly like a box of chocolates, you never really know what you are going to get...

So it's day 5 in 2013 and so far this new year has already been a roller coaster. I started it off with a job interview. The interview went all right and I should hear if I made the first cut next week, but for whatever reason it left me feeling odd afterwards. Not really sure why but I continued on my day in a funk. 

I headed off to my night job while in my funk and found out my hours were being cut. Awesome, I'm broke and now I can't work. It was one of those days were life decided to say, "Hey it has been a while since you had a good punch in the face, here you go. *whack*"

I sat at work about to burst into tears because of the crappy day I was having and I remembered something. On New Years Day I said a prayer, "God please teach me to trust you more." As I continued to hold back tears God was just like, "Hey you wanted to learn to trust me more right? Well trust me. I will always take care of you."

I find it interested the way we ask God to teach us things to help us grow in him, and when he gives us an opportunity to learn we often ignore it. Why is that? I really have no clue why I immediately assume the worst and not the best. I know God will always take care of me and yet I often do not give him the chance to. 

So here's to letting God take over and do his thing. His ways are far better than mine will ever be.
