What are the odds?

Recently I have been struggling with contentment for a number of reasons. It is something I may always struggle with but maybe that's right where we should be...waiting to see what will happen next. Sometimes I'm not very patient and I want to know what class I'll take, where I'll live, where I'll work, etc. But if you think about it, where's the fun in that? And what do I have to worry about? The Bible, time and time again, shows how God is for us (Romans 8:31)! I am learning that much of that has to do with my perspective; I'm so caught up in what I wish was happening that I forget about all the opportunities right in front of me.

Oh and what are the odds? For some reason I keep hearing stories, and have even had personal experience, where things happen that seem so far fetched, or wrong, that you almost have to use reverse psychology and know that it's God at work. For example, there's no reason for them to let you go from your job but you find yourself without one or they should've accepted the higher offer for the house but they didn't even take a second look. That's when you have to see, God can beat the odds! And who knows who's watching....maybe how you handle the situation, how you wait and trust His provision, is the testimony someone is waiting to see...
