Life can be frusterating!

Right?  How many times do you find yourself in some kind of drama, mistake, complexity and down right frustrating circumstance?  Doesn't life ever take a break?  I've certainly been feeling some of life's moments lately and feeling quite helpless.  For some reason, I can't get it through my pigeon brain that I can't control life!  Stuff happens whether we want it to or not!  For example:  Why did God give me rheumatoid arthritis....did he want me to feel handicapped, sick (hate giving myself shots) and tired all the time?  Another example:  Why did God let Kitty get a leg injury that may never heal again....to a horse who has to be working to be happy and who won't touch any extra food supplements to help her joints and tendons? and why did He give my other horse horrible respiratory problems to where she always has a higher respiratory rate at a stand still than any other horse?  Did God overlook me?  Does He really have a plan for us--for me?

I know He has a plan for me because as I look back on my life, I can see the proof of His love and mercy He has given not only to me, but too those two horses of mine too.  You see if you are stuck wondering about your future and wondering who is going to be there for you in a few years all you have to do is look back.  Has God really abandoned me?  It certainly can feel like that-I feel like that more than a Christian probably should...but it strengthens me to look back and know that God has been there for me in more ways  than I can count and He clearly states in His word that He will take care of me.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:  Philippians 1:6
