Well, Happy Halloween all!! I am not the biggest fan of this holiday, but I do love the candy, kids dressed up in cute costumes, and yeah..thats it! haha
It is storming where I live right now, so unfortunately for the children, the halloween activities will be post-poned until Saturday. I am a little excited about Saturday because I offered to let my co-worker bring her children on base to go trick- or- treating. It will be really fun to walk around with them and see how excited they get over a few pieces of candy!
Despite the gloomy weather today, I am trying to be very positive and upbeat- my husband needs that from me. He did not have the greatest day yesterday and I know that I can either influence his mood in a positive or negative way, depending on how I act. He had a very important flight yesterday that he actually did very well on, but one mistake caused him to “fail.” When he came home last night he was so very upset and all I could do was hug him and tell him that everything was going to be alright. I reminded him that our lives are always in God’s hands. All we can do is our very best and then let Him take care of the rest according to His will for our lives.
I still do not (nor will I ever) understand why God lets bad things happen to good people, but I guess that is just part of me being human and Him being God. His thoughts are way above ours and we cannot understand everything that He has planned for us. I’ll admit, I was not very happy last night. I questioned God, asking “why would you let him fail? We prayed!”. I still wonder why, but I am also still trying to trust that He has a greater plan.
So what am I going to do this evening? I am going to make sure I am positive, upbeat, and happy when my husband gets home from his 12 hour shift. I am going to pray with him before we go to bed tonight, and I am going to wake up trusting that God will take care of us and prepare us for whatever may come! I hope you all have a Happy Halloween! Eat lots of candy for me!!! 🙂
