God ALWAYS has my back...

....Even when I am careless.

I was in ATL this week for work. It was my first time and I really like Atlanta. I will mos def go back to visit for pleasure. Well, Wednesday waiting at the airport for my return home, I worked the heck out of my Blackberry and the battery was on its last leg. I cut the phone off to conserve enough energy to call my mom and sis when I landed safely. I guess when I cut the phone off and put it in my bag it slithered to the floor because when I landed in B-more I could not find it. Funny thing is that I was not even frantic. I knew exactly what I did and just figured I would handle it the next day. Yes it would be expensive to replace, but some careless mistakes are costly. I called my mom from my work phone and told her that I lost my cell. She said well a woman found it and called her to return it to me. I gave God praise, but was too tired to comprehend the magnitude of this event at that time. It wasn't until I got home that it hit me....HE did it yet AGAIN!!

All my life, God has had me on His mind, even when I neglect to have him on mine. Chance after chance, do-over after do-over, I have been protected and COVERED!!! This is not the first time He has bailed me out of my own mess:

1. I left my purse on a London bus and someone found it and mailed it back to me....OVERSEES! Lost the SAME purse again on metro and got it back again. I know that there are still some good people left in this world, but come on....the purse came back each time with all of its contents....that was a supernatural blessing indeed!

2. Had a date from hell and had to walk home at the wee hours of the morning. I will not tell you where I was or what happened, but let's just say I was not in the best of neighborhoods in DC and had to walk home to MD. Had no idea how I was going to do it, but left and started walking. I got maybe 10 steps before I was stopped by an ambulance asking where I was going at that time. I told them the story and they put me in the back and took me home. Now this was a DC ambulance and they could not go into MD, but did it for me. No way that was a coincidence. God sent an angel to me that night. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if I made that walk that night, but because of His grace and mercy I will never have to know.

I could go on and on about the many times God has gotten me out of sticky situations. I hear from people how lucky I am, but its not true at all. There is a covering over my life that sometimes I don't think I deserve. For some reason, God always has me on his radar. The praise I give Him could never be enough in my lifetime.

So right now I'm without a phone, but I take it as a sign that I was too connected into everyone and not everyone needs to be connected to me. Its nice and quiet for a moment. How it should be even if I have my cellular. There are also some desires of my heart that I think about more than I think I should. God just reminded me that I have nothing to worry about...

He has everything in control.

Praising Him in advance,
