Blessed

I've had the opportunity these past few weeks to sit back and look at how things are going in my life. And, for the first time since possibly ever, I can say that I am happy with how and where things are going. There's been a few bumps in the road but I have been able to navigate them pretty well it seems. More importantly, I am learning to see God working in my life in the present instead of just in hindsight. What a blessing that has been and is! My family and friends have been absolutely crucial to my growth and there are no words to express to them the gratitude and love I feel for them. It has also been a blessing to see God working in each of their lives as well. Caleb's shop is booming, Daniel is building a home, Mike and Jenn getting married and now with a baby girl on the way, Lindsey is engaged...again, what an immense blessing it is to be able to call each of these individuals friend. Life is good and more importantly God is exceptionally good!

Another Why

Why does the weight of the world have to come crashing down all at once? Why does satan have to be so good at his job? Why is my faith so weak when I need it the most?
