We all have those times in our lives when we have set back after set back, and, not only that, they come at the worst time. I’d encourage you, though, to take a step back and take a second look. I’m in a big transitionary season in my life so any added pressure is extra stressful. This week, I found out I had a nail in one of my rear tires on my way to work. This was frustrating because I drive between 35-40 miles to and from work every day, and I’m not financially independent yet as I only work part time. I can’t drive with a nail in my tire, that’s just not safe. I worked that evening, so the next day I went to get it repaired. Come to find out 2 of my tires had almost no tread on them; I needed to replace them immediately. Had I not gotten a nail in my tire I would not have found out I needed to replace those tires as soon as I needed to. What I perceived to be a set back was actually a set up to find out a bigger problem before something bad happened. The good Lord also provided 2 new good tires that I could afford. The next time you encounter a set back, take a second look because God looks out for His children 😉 Including you!
