Have you ever had a bad day? A bad week? Bad month? Year? Well, of course you have. We all have our bad days and tough times. But do you ever wonder where God is during th
ose times? I do.
I like to think of God as the "chef". Now, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, right? Well, let me explain.
One day a girl was talking to her mother , telling her about her horrible day: her boyfriend broke up with her, she failed a test, was late to school, and got into a fender-bender on the way home. Her mother
was making a cake while her daughter was talking. She asked her daughter, "Do you want a snack?" Seeing that her mother was making a cake, she said, "Sure, mom, you know I love your cakes."
"Well then, how about some flour?" the mother asked. "Or what about some baking soda?"
"Ewwwwww, no, mom, those are all gross." the daughter replied.
"Maybe some raw eggs then, or a stick of butter?" her mom said.
"No, why would I want those nasty things?" her daughter asked in reply.
"Because all those things seem nasty on their own, but when you put them together in the right way, they create a delicious cake. Life is like a cake: although yo
u may have some bad things happen, when they all get put together in the way God planned, they make something wonderful. You have to let God, the ultimate chef, do something wonderful with the things that happen in your life."

Corey Ten Boom (I may have misspelled that) talked of life as the back side of an embroidered sheet. It is full of knots and jumped stitches and erratic, uneven touches. But, when you view it from the other side, a glorious picture emerges.
So often do we get caught up in little things and forget that there is a MUCH bigger picture that we don't even see that God is working in. Thank you for the reminder with this analogy.
