I'm finding it harder and harder to trust people these days.
Someone broke into my car Friday night and took my book bag (probably thinking it had a laptop in it), a pair of shoes and mine and Luke's Cowboy hats...
Unfortenately the contents in the bag may be the difference between me failing and passing some classes. Two notebooks FULL of notes for Biology and Sociology, a graphing calculator, a spare set of keys for my car, my USB drive, all my math assignments with class notes on them, and not to mention the bag that no one else had!
I have to change the locks on my doors so he won't come back and take the entire car. I need to replace Luke's $150 dollar hat, and my (around) $200 dollar calculator. And of course copy four weeks worth of Sociology notes from Hannah (thanks so much!).
These are the times when it's hard to trust someone, let alone forgive them. Especially someone you can't see but you know they did NOT have you're best interest in mind.
I'm hurt. I feel violated and hopeless. I started crying in church because we were singing a song about God always being there for us- and I know he was there when that theif broke my window. It's hard to ask why He would let something happen like this- but i know I'l be better off... somehow.
Depending on Him is the only way i'll come out of this ok. Maybe that's the lesson in all of this. People always say how God is a teacher- and I always seem to forget that until i have a lesson to learn myself.
