The Lord is my Shepherd. The Shepherd takes care of the sheep!
Tonight I took my sister to the emergency room because she was having trouble breathing all day, with a constant asthma attack (she doesn't have asthma), and pains from having to draw breath inwardly for hours. We were there for 3 1/2 hours, which is short consider it could be a lot worse.
We came out to discover a police officer waiting for us, because a group of youngsters (I chuckle at being able to say this word) tried to steal my car. The Acura Integra is the most stolen car in America, but this time the kids tried it on 5-7 other cars aswell. The cop had us wait for the forensics team to come and fingerprint, but I told him that I wouldn't prosecute (not because I want to be nice, I want to get caught, for justice to be served). I did that because the Lord's taught me over a period of months not to trust in the world. Appearances and beauty is in vain, and charm and the seduction of things are a great deception, as He's taught me. It's in Proverbs. And I don't trust in worldly things, I need to use that car for one purpose, but I'm sooo thankful to the Lord that it wasn't stolen. It would have meant many months of hard work and suffering if it was stolen. He provided it, and He made sure that no one took it.
And I'm so thankful that He's helping me with my studies. Right now I'm going to study for my chemistry test that I take tomorrow at 5. I thank the Lord that He's been preparing me, and for helping me so much to keep up with a heavy supply of work and school (even though I haven't had much time for study). I go now to complete a night of study.
I'm so thankful that my sister didn't die. I love her a lot, like a father loves a daughter (the Lord's doing), and I'd hate to see anything happen to her.
Please pray for me, I'm trying to leave Wal-Mart. Thank you. In Christ, Isaac D.
