He treats me well

Earlier in my christian life, occasionally, people would greet each other by saying, "So, how is the Lord treating you?"

After a week that was akin to being held under siege, I'm going to make a statement of faith, so here it is:

The Lord is treating me well.

I didn't have money to pay rent and I had to pay double what I normally do bc my roommate had no money for his part. The bills were stacking up sky-high and I had to pay them alone because, again, everyone was broke. I got asked for a total of $400 by family and I will never see that money again probably. As a matter of fact, I got paid this week and of the ~$1K I got paid, I have $73 now.

I'm stressed, I'm tired, I'm depressed and I'm not eating as I should probably just because I don't think about it (I'm not out of food, I promise).

However, in all of that, the Lord is treating me well. Life is not fair and never will be; we're in a broken world if you recall. However, God is consistently good to me. He gives me the strength to continue when continuing is hard. If it weren't for Him and the favor He gives, I wouldn't have been able to pay my bills at all.

It's more than I could handle alone, so He didn't leave me alone.

That's the good report. That's what I choose to set my sights on. I've been fussed at, snapped at, and left more confused and frustrated than I have been in a long time, but in all of that, I see a shaft of light that is God being faithful to look out for me and maybe even in spite of myself...

So yes... the Lord is treating me well.
