2/15/12  It’s Gonna Be Okay

For the record, you don’t have to read this blog because it is not written for you…it’s written for me.

Okay, I guess you want to read it anyways, so here goes. The reason it’s not for you is I really have needed to be reminded of some things this week and this will be pretty basic review for most of you.

Do you ever have a line, just one line, of a song get stuck in your head? For me, this week, it has been a Veggie Tales song and the line is, “Oh no, what are we going to do?” (In case you just have to hear the whole song it’s from the movie about Daniel in the lion’s den.) I’m pretty sure that the line is in my head because since we took this leap of faith move to FL we are now at about three weeks with no paycheck. The scared little girl in me has this song going….and going.

Here’s what I’ve been reminded of this week…..even from childhood when was scared about something I could be greatly calmed by my daddy, and later my husband telling me, “It’s gonna be okay.” Twelve years ago, while living in NC, we found ourselves living in a mobile home on our church’s property in the direct path of an oncoming hurricane. Most of you know that bad weather is attracted to mobile homes so we decided to spend the night in the church building. I was several months pregnant with our daughter and was a bit freaked out about the whole situation. My dear husband gave me a hug and told me, “It’s gonna be okay.” Guess what….I curled up in his arms on a mattress from one of the cribs in the nursery and slept. In reality my husband had no more idea than I did if it was going to be okay…..he’s a great husband but he’s no weather man!

Here’s my lesson learned, or I should say relearned…..My heavenly Father PROMISES to provide my needs! This isn’t just some obscure Bible teaching, it’s all over the place in scripture. So if my husband and dad can calm me down with only words and not much to back them up, (sorry guys)…..I had better be calmed down and resting in peace when the God who made me, loves me, and not to mention owns the whole universe tells me….”I’ve got this and it’s going to be okay!”
