God Has Been
Faithful
Today
is May 29, and it’s my birthday. I am
blessed beyond measure and here is why.
I
survived my childhood, what with all the falls and scrapes, blood and bruises,
broken arm and dropped drum sticks.
I
wondered if I’d get into college, then I wondered if I’d graduate. I did and God was faithful.
I
feared of not having my first job out of college. The call came and God was faithfully leading –
to Orlando.
Issues
came up, issues resolved themselves, I learned, I fumbled, I learned some more,
and God was faithful.
I
moved to Albuquerque after two years in Orlando. I was fearful, I was excited, I went anyway. I made some lifelong friend and had to leave
them behind. And God was faithful.
And
then Seattle called. I came. I learned some more, I made lifelong friends,
and God again proved himself faithful.
I
made other moves – to Spartanburg SC, Anderson IN, back to Spartanburg, to
Nashville, back to Spartanburg, to Dallas and finally back to Washington state.
God
has been faithful.
I
met Carolyn in 2006. We married and now,
twelve years later, God is faithful.
I’ve
bought eleven automobiles in my lifetime so far, and six houses (sold each one
after I moved away). In the middle of
house payments, car payments, bill payments, groceries and all else that life
demands, God has been faithful.
I
faced heart bypass surgery in December 2017.
The doctor said I had a 70% chance of surviving. I am here, today, writing these words, and
God IS faithful.
Lots
of songs capture the essence of what I feel at this moment.
Here
are two.
I
am thankful to God for his faithfulness in all situations.
