A Fix-it man?

I am sitting on my bed with the covers strewn about, down in my 8x8 bedroom at my parents' house. It isn't actually a room. It was made to be an office. But when my sister and I were old enough, (I was 9 she was 12) we decided we didn't want to share rooms anymore. So, while my parents were at work, we made the "office" into a "bedroom". And for some reason, they never made us change it back.

But that's not why I am writing tonight.

I am writing because GOD HAS CONTROL IN EVERYTHING. We just need to let Him take the reigns.

Tonight, Josiah and I broke down with each other. There are so many things that we have been letting build up and stress us out in our life. So many finance frustrations, house-searching, wedding saving, etc... things that we are trying to juggle all while trying to hold steady jobs, raise a little girl 10 out of every 14 days, and soon to come, I will be going to school again.

So needless to say from the previous run-on sentences, we were extremely troubled.

"God, we come to you tonight..."

We prayed together as a couple for the first time in months. And not just "a prayer". It was so powerful. God's presence was there tonight. We gave Him all our worries, doubts, fears, frustrations, and everything else we were tightly holding on to.We prayed that He would fix our relationship. That He would come back full force into it. We prayed that He would mend what needs to be mended, and that He would be involved in all our upcoming decisions. Full control to the one pilot that will actually take over and be flawless at His job. We prayed for peace and wisdom, we prayed for priorities to line up with what He wants... And after that prayer, something weird happened.

We tried to turn the car on. The battery was dead.
We waited..

And you know what? When we turned the car over again, it fired right off! Only this time, the check engine light that has been on since we got the car was OFF. And it stayed off the whole way home for Josiah.
And you know what?
We believe with all our hearts that it was God's confirmation that NOTHING is out of His hands. NOTHING in this world is something He can't do. It is going to be a reminder that HE is in control over our worlds. Because, you know what? He can fix ANYTHING. Even if it has been broken for a really long time...
