So much has happened since my last post.  I’m reminded of how much good comes from difficult situations and how important it is to trust in God: His plan, His wisdom, His providence, His guidance through the Word.  Having a God who loves us and does what’s best for us, whether we see it at the time or not, and who supports us and strengthens us so that we can endure trials  is an amazing blessing.  I’m also reminded of how important it is not to take for granted the good things in our lives.  We truly do not know what tomorrow will bring.  Our lives can be over or be changed forever in the blink of an eye.  I don’t worry about that  because I know that God is in control and I will do my best to focus on living for today and making this day count for His glory.  People I know and love are hurting – there’s been loss and there’s been pain and I hurt for them.  There is also victory to be gained and blessings to be found in these situations.
