Pretty Bummed

I must confess that I am not in the best mood these days. I have had a lot of hard hits in the past couple of months. I am waiting on God because He has promised to renew my strength. I could use a big dose of that right now.

Finances at church have really been tough in 2008. We have oodles of new Christians and we are teaching them about their new faith. That is cool, but it is a process. With our tough times (and everyone knows times are tough) we had our offering stolen last week. It was in a locked safe. This has taken a huge toll on me.

I realize that it is not my money, that it is God's. I also know that He has a far better method of taking care of things than what I do. Nonetheless, it is still hard. I am human and I want to confront this person. I have prayed and allowed myself to step away and let the local authorities do their thing.

Your prayers would be appreciated.
