Sometimes in the midst of the storms of life, we forget that God is always the same and is always a strong advocate for us. This weekend was such a time for me. Our daughter was visiting from PA and I got up early on Saturday to do laundry and get it all finished so we could spend time together. The load in the wash finished, I put the towels in the dryer and set the timer. When it dinged, I went to get the clothes, but they were still as wet as when I put them in there. After multiple attempts and checking the vents, I decided that the heating element is broken. So, no dryer. Thus, I ended up going to the laundromat with my daughter and a granddaughter to get the towels dry. Today, my husband explores options of repairs or replacement. The storm of a dryer not working seems small and insignificant, but to me it was a big, unexpected event that tried to throw me off kilter. I prayed, asked God what to do and decided to go to the laundromat and take my daughter and granddaughter to lunch while the clothes dried. We enjoyed our time together and celebrated our birthdays that are this week. God didn’t let us down because He never does. Yes, we are still dealing with that niggling little problem of no dryer, but we will ask God for wisdom and provision and then trust that He will follow through because that is who He is.

When I am faced with little obstacles that seem big, I need to remember this verse and stand in awe of God who faced death and came out victorious!
