Luck...
Websters defines Luck as 1 (noun) success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions. 2 (verb) chance to find or acquire. I have never been a huge believer in “luck” be it good or bad. I completely believe that every single thing that happens to someone is totally completely done because God lets it happen. (stick with me here) Maybe at one time before Christ I believed in luck. but After Christ, nope no way no chance. Why am I saying this? To say this: I have the worst luck ever!!!! Literally, I have recently done a complete turn around with my life. I have really put my life in Gods hands and said OKAY lead me, break my heart, humble my heart, make my words mimic yours, make my heart mimic yours, even specifically saying: Lord break my heart for what breaks Yours. So, when you do this when anyone does this not just me. The devil is going to start to attack you, and you think you will break. At one point in the not to far past I was a complainer, I complained about everything. I had an attitude adjustment and started owning up, and PRAISING when I really wanted to cry. So not the whole world knows what I am about to type. On 1/1/16 a mere 20 minutes after midnight, I totalled my car. mind you since I had a financial set back and had just hours earlier finally gotten caught up on payments, I was no longer past due. This has yet to be settled. I acquired a new whip two weeks ago, maybe less. Today I was L-boned. I would say T-boned but literally the woman pulled out and hit the passenger side front fender. (Coincidentally both accidents all the damage was in the same location on the cars) Both times I walked away, both times all I have is minor damage to my body, 2 total losses (pending appraisal) both times air bags deployed, and I didn't get hit, both times my seat belt left a huge bruise on me, in less than 60 days. WHAT THE CRAP!!!! I'm not struggling money wise I mean I'm not great but I'm not anywhere where I need to be. now in a way earlier post I mentioned that my favorite verse is in James, 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him. (KJV) and because my sweet honey bear gave me a CEV bible for Christmas (I know I know shock and awe ensues- not that I got a bible, but that I have a honey bear.) Here goes how I love this, the way it reads. 2 My friends, be glad even if you have a lot of trouble. 3 You know you learn to endure by having your FAITH tested. 4 But you must learn to endure everything, so you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything. 5 If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won’t correct you for asking. It goes on and says basically don't ask if you don’t already know that God isn't going to deliver because if you do you cant be trusted. I said all that to say this. I am completely broken for the Lord, I have prayed specifically that if something or someone was keeping me from glorifying God, then that person or thing be removed from my life. I have gone from good to bad to worse, and literally today when the accident happened I notified the proper authorities, I called my honey bear because well, I depend on that man, and I sent some texts saying PRAY for this woman that hit me there is blood shes bad. I'm not saying this because I am the perfect christian, I'm saying this because I have some specific prayer requests, Pray for the woman who hit me, I know she is at home. Pray for my family, pray that I am able to get both of these accidents settled, pray that I am able to acquire another vehicle. Pray that I never stop praising the one true King, just be still and pray. Meanwhile I refuse luck and embrace my Father God.
