Tripping

You see, I know that Abba allows things to happen. I also know that everything that happens is NOT His will.  He gives us free choice and b/c of that free choice, our lives and others lives are affected.  We need to always keep that in mind as we go about our daily lives.  Let us not put on God what was not His desire.

Why this thought process.  We (my husband and I) had a trip planned.  We believed the mechanic who said he'd have our bike (motorcycyle) fixed in time for the trip..on Monday b/4 we were to leave for two days on Wed.  The next thing we know, it'll be Wed. p.m. Though we waited til after midnight, and were told it was fixed, it wasn't. We took it back and back again.  We thought we'd have to skip the trip or make it a day trip. Finally, on Sat. we left about 2:00 on a day trip.  As Abba would have it, we actually found a very cheap hotel to stay in (it was semi clean and a place to lay our heads) and came back the next day.  It was a MUCH needed 'get away' from the daily problems and issues we face. Thanking Abba for allowing us free choice, but for also allowing us our trip despite others free choice to lie, manipulate and deceive.

Thia, I hate it when people automatically assume that what happpens is what Abba wanted. Really? Are you kidding me? He gives us free choice and, as humans, that affects other humans.
Thanks..we needed it.

It's something that I know...but in the midst of "things" I forget and start blaming God. So I see it written somewhere and it's a hit over the head.

I am the exact same way.
