Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I was just thinking about something. I'll sometimes go about my life without ever thinking about God. But then something will happen and it'll reafirm my faith in the Lord. I guess I only am human. Like tonight, on my way home from work I was pulled over. When the cop went back to his cruiser to write my ticket I started praying. Not that I wouldn't get a ticket, I prayed for peace and strength. Then this calm washed over me. My heart rate returned to normal, and my breathing calmed. Even though I got a ticket, which I don't have the money for, I can't seem to get upset about it. I mean it would've been nice to not get a ticket at all, but that would've been selfish. God gave me the strength to accept what the cop deemed fit.
