God works in mysterious ways

Its safe to say that my relationship with God has been strained in the last year. Arguably, thats an understatement. Nonetheless, He still keeps a look out.

The last week or two have been the worst of my life. I'd rather not state the reasons, but I'm generally at a low point...the lowest yet. Here is why I bring this up.

There is a story my dad told me, about a man who lived in a house near the water, and one day there was a flood. For a few days the radio told people to evacuate, but he didn't leave because he believed God would take care of him. One day, with the waters near, a rescue person came by and told him he should leave, but he said that God would take care of him. Then one day, with the water all over the house, a rescue helicopter came by and tried to take him away, but he said no, because God would take care of him. He then died in the floods. In heaven, he asked God why God didn't save him. God then said to him, "Are you kidding me? I sent radio messages and rescuers on two occasions to save you. What else did you want?!?!"

The reason for this "parable" is that even though the last two weeks have been the worst of my life, I've noticed at that the most vulnerable of moments, a certain song has come on the radio. That song: "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.

Ok, yeah, thats hokey, but who knows. Maybe its just me, but perhaps it means more than just a song on the radio.
