Reflection


It has been the most stressful, tiring, testing, fulfilling, blessed, and rewarding year of my life. The past 12 months have brought more change to my life than most of my previous 25 years combined. As I sit here next to my high school sweetheart and stare at a beautiful Arkansas fall day, one thought consumes me…GOD IS GOOD! My relationship to my Heavenly Father has gone to depths that I never dreamed this year. In all the moments of dependency…He was there longing for intimacy. I have learned a very important lesson this year…it is all about God. Every breath, circumstance, difficulty, dream, passion, hurt, disappointment, fear, and triumph…they are all about him. God has taken me places I never imagined and brought me from moments that I didn’t think I would survive. There is no attempt for application to this journal entry. I am once again broken by the blessings that are too many to count. To the God that gives and takes away….blessed be your name!

Blogging is such a release. . .I love it1
I feel ya in this here "reflection" post. That last year for me has been the biggest for me also -not near as big as your's, though. So much has changed in my life over the last year. God has workend in my life in amazing ways. I have been on the highest mountain at times and, at other times, been in the lowest hole.
I am praying for you constantly and you really are my best friend (even when you won't answer the phone:).
