I'm back

Hey so long time no post on this thing. These past two weeks were a struggle, but I'm back baby! Last night I dwelled on my lack of happiness lately and wondered where the heck is my joy? One verse kept popping in my mind: "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice!" Philippians 4:4 Yes Paul, I know. I thought about that verse as I reread the first chapter in Desiring God where Piper discusses the sovereignty of God and His narrow and wide lens. This chapter truly put events in perspective, especially the bad ones, why is it that I'm having such a difficult time dealing with issues at home that are out of my control? Do I not trust in God's provision? When David fought Goliath, he had confidence that God would protect him just as He had done so many times before when he fought lions and bears while tending sheep. God has already provided me with so much, and I ought to honor and glorify Him in both my heart and my actions. Just looking back on my life and the path that God led me through to come to salvation is a sweet, sweet thing!

Spring!

It's gonna be a BUSY quarter. Big quarter, doin big thangs; all for God's glory of course. "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." - Philipians 4:13

Break however was too short, leaving felt somewhat bittersweet. Thank the Lord for all He has done and is doing within the hearts of my family. I just wish I could be there to see it.
