Oh no!
Went to meet with a potential church planter this morning. Stopped by my bank ATM, got a $100 bucks, got to Starbucks (you have to meet church planters in Starbucks, it’s the rules now), ordered coffee and a cranberry muffin, pulled out wallet, NO MONEY! Panic, I don’t have a $100 bucks to throw around right now. Run out to truck, look through parking lot, approach counter and pay with AmEX.. I play it cool, like it’s no big deal. But I’m cursing myself under my breathe.
So we have our meeting and I head back to my truck and EUREKA!, I had put the money in another pocket of my wallet, idiot! So anyway now I have to tell Kevin I paid for something and in my panic didn’t get a receipt and didn’t have to use the credit card after all. But…
There is a lesson in this, God provides at all times. Even though I was yelling at myself inside, I thanked God outside that I knew He was going to provide if I lost the money. But I am very relieved that God chose not to put me through that test right now. There are some days you just need to be secure. Is trusting God for little things always a struggle for you like it is for me? I’m been in the faith for a long time, but still struggle with the little stuff. Big stuff, no prob Bob, God’s got my back. Little stuff, I ought to be able to pull that off, trouble is, it’s all little stuff to God. I need to remember that more often.
