been doin lots of reflection lately. do you ever look at yourself and your life and just stop to think how you got there? i'm always frazzled a bit by how fast time passes by. i mean, 60 seconds for every minute, 60 minutes for every hour, and 24 hours for every day. sounds like it should give more and feel bigger than it ends up being. i just can't believe i'm 32 and have a son. i feel like i was just in college. it's this strange combination of frustration, yet satisfying accomplishment. i've overcome alot of obstacles i my life, some created by my own hand, others by satan, and yet others by god, but none the less, i've overcome. then there are those things that have haunted me since i can remember. i seem to think i've dealt with it, moved on, and yet, there it is again. so in that sense, time has not been so good to me. it's just prolonged my issues. (sound like reflection to you or just craziness?) not to get too deep, but hardship and trials will do that to a person. it causes me to reflect. i'm forced to think things through because i have to find strength and my strength comes from the One who's help me overcome. i'm greatful from that perspective for the things i've had to lean on God to get me through because i now can look back and find confidence and reassurance that even though i'm "going through it" he'll see me through. i really do believe that. even when i'm all out of sorts, i still believe he loves me and he'll get me to the others side.
i just want you all to know that i know who all of you are that read this blog (ok, unless you're a wonderer finding yourself here) and i love you all and want you to know that if you're fighting the devil on an issue, if you are feeling lost, if you are in the midst of a very difficult trial, if you feel you're lackin on the faith thing, i'm here. i'll pray with you. it does get better. everything does. and believe me, i'm preachin to the choir right now. but just know there is someone who sympathizes with you. all my blessings to you and your family and i hope your week is fulfilling and full of greatfulness.
