When you feel like the wrong place at the wrong time you actually might be right where God wants you...

On Saturday I had a horrible run.  It rained pretty much the entire time I ran and it was just plain long and depressing.  Then I went to a funeral and felt out of place.  Then a job function and I felt equally inadequate. I got lost several times when I went to the place and almost gave up quite a few times trying to get there.  Also I went to get my phone replaced and after 3 hours I was told no.

Fast forward to Monday and an equally frustrating day with a dead car battery.  But then I thought about all the unrelated situations. The reasons why things did not go my way was not because I was a bad person.  I know that I was supposed to learn some lessons along the way.

Sometimes bad things happen to teach us character.  I know the Lord did not call me to an easy life.  If I don't have his blessings unaware such as people in both places to jump my battery I would still be stuck somewhere. 
If I did not finish the run I would not of known how it was to persevere in tough times.  The funeral, the phone and party I just need to buck up and just let life happen even if there are factors I can't control.

Who knows if I would not have had those situations where would I be.  And sometimes it is not worth sweating the small stuff.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
