I just re-read and re-posted my post about my Worries and Fears. Now that I’ve been married for about 1 year now, I’ve gone through some really tough stuff. Clients letting me down, financial difficulties, and the like. I’ve dealt with some of those fears that I discussed in that post, about a year ago. I got married, my wife is pregnant (she’s due in October, 29 or something) with a healthy baby girl (Isabella). I’m still working on getting on my feet financially, but God is still providing in amazing ways.
I remember praying for a strengthening of faith. I can say without a doubt that has happened. There were times that I had about 3 dollars in my account, and about 5 bucks in my hand. I had to make it stretch for 2 days. I’ve never faced those sort of issues in my life, and it’s amazing when I think of it, the way God guided and protected me through all of that.
I look forward to the future, the way God is going to continue to interact with me and with the folks around me. I continue to see troubling signs in the economy and tough times ahead, however, I feel that God is with me. So, I kind of feel like I can face it. Sometimes, I revert to my previous faithlessness, but God continues to bring new and interesting people into my life. I’m content with God. And that’s different for me. I’ve somewhat always treated Him badly, in some ways. I’ve taken Him for granted, but I’ve learned a great deal through His guidance. Like C.S. Lewis said about a Christ figure in one of his books, “He’s not safe, but He is Good.”
