Family Update: In the past month, our sewage grinder pump went out and is still out, hope to fix next week; our A/C unit went out, and the Suburban broke down... oh, and my Uncle was diagnosed with Stage 3, Lung Cancer! I could look at life and think of how much it SUCKS! Really?!
But then, I see the smile on my son's face; I see the hope in a patient. I talk with my Uncle who says he's not scared of dying... I see beauty all around me... even in the midst of chaos... that is- when I stop and take a minute...
It can be really hard sometimes to see that "something beautiful," especially when bombarded with the negativity all around us and on tv/internet. I'm pressing in and pressing forward. I want to be happy. I want peace and joy... I want to, really want to "rest" in His presence, in His peace... I want to do more than just say I'm resting in him...
Please pray for our family, my uncle, whom I adore, my daughter, whom we are yet to meet in Colombia, and the family unit as a whole, that these "little" things like the sewage issue, and all the other stuff be resolved quickly... that we might be able to bring others hope and peace... that God could use us like Ben mentioned in his journal entry in the previous blog post...use us to bring hope to someone else today, tonight...right now. We pray blessings over you all and all that might read this blog and be encouraged... thanks so much!
