I forgot I wrote this yesterday. I literally did just lose all my possessions to a house fire caused by a lightning strike last night. But I still feel blessed. My family is safe. We only lost things, things can be replaced.

2 hours before church last night, my dad asked me to give the message cause he is sick. I spoke at teen camp last week so he said to use that message. But it didnt feel right. I prayed and God gave me a message on why God has people go thru the wilderness. Since church got canceled the second I finished preparing, I wondered why that was laid on my heart. I now know it was just for me.

My family has been going thru a wilderness here lately. So much of are stuff has been breaking down, only 2 out of 5 cars are running, fridge is on the fritz, washing machine was acting up. And now most of those things are gone.

God has us in this wilderness for a reason. Everyone has them. It is part of the journey. I know we will get thru this. I’m positive what God has on the other side is so much better than we had and what we ever could have imagined.
