Attribulations


Taking one of my classes for college my teacher share with us a passage from Luke that talks about how we reach Jesus in darkness time when we are in trouble. It is amazing how God talks to us, the same subject but in a way that uniquely each of us can understand. In the recent week I have been struggling with the father of my kids, with school, love life, and other thoughts that comes to my mind and kind off make me feel sad. In moments like those one that for me are dark times, I wonder where is God in the picture.

God is everywhere I go. How I now it? When I am running late to catch my bus and even when I know the bus must already leave, when I arrive the bus still there for some bizarre reason, when I am driving tired and just want to get home and all the traffic lights are green so I don’t have to stop, when I feel lonely and receive flowers from a truly good friend, when my oldest son sleeps with me at night even that he is a teenager and a “man” who does not sleep with his mom, when my youngest son prefers drink water instead of soda just to be able to eat next to me, and on and on. Little things that happened to us everyday remained us that we are not alone and God is helping us out.

My teacher mentions something that strike me, “this is your hour not your era or decade or year” meaning this darkness will pass too. Mean while as we all know we are never alone in some mysterious or obvious ways God let us know that He is with us helping us to carry our crosses. In darkness time is when our trust and faith comes handy, I think will be a good idea check them often.

James 1:2-5
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;
Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Big Hug,
