I was obviouslly trippin bout my court date but everything turned out ok I am a child of God and because i gave my attention to him with what went into my ears and the fast that I did he once again provided for me my step dad hasn't found a job yet but God is in contoroll as always and he will provide for his children who come to him with prayer and petition and though things may not go as planned he will give you peace for the trials you go through and not only that but remember always he sometimes puts us through the fire to refine us and bring us closer to him in all things when things are good praise him when they are bad praise him the devil is not the winner but he definately tries to break us but remember also that God will not give us anything that we can not handle sometimes it feels like we can't handle things and the truth is without Gods grace and mercy we can't we need him in all things....

Why do bad things happen to good people....?

Why does it seem like bad things happen to good people and bad people have good things happen to them and then screw it up? Why do good people keep subjecting ourselves to hurt from people we need to just walk away from?
When I was younger, the only person I cared for was myself. I didn't care back then who I hurt in the process of me trying to get what I wanted. After my dad passed and that security nest was gone, I learned quick that's not the person I wanted to be. It got me no where very fast. I could love you one day and not care for you the next, my emotions were like a light switch.

Have I already mentioned Martha? I wonder was she trying just to impress Yeshua with her devotion to Him? Did she really think He liked people to keep their nose to the grindstone? In response to Martha's complaints about her apparently idle sister, Jesus quietly said, "Only one thing is needed" (Lk 10:42, NIV). He accepts only labors of love. Jesus had the total responsibility of world redemption on His mind, yet He never seemed worried about whether He was doing enough serving. He had time to let Mary sit as His feet – He did not keep jumping up, fretting about all the "important" things that had to be done.
The message I share is that the blessings of God are not given in proportion to our hard work, rather like Rachel being the reward for Jacob's seven years of hard work. It is easy for preachers to castigate people for what they do not do, because we are all human and show signs of it! So they are never short of material to criticize! But our imperfections are forgiven. When Yeshua asked, "What do you do more?" He was not cracking the whip. We do not have to go through agonies for God to be with us, work ourselves up into a sweat for God to keep His promise or strain every muscle to pull down Holy Spirit power.
