EASTER 2012

Easter 2012 finds me happy---it will be a wonderful weekend. Things in my life seem to be taking a turn for the better, but it will be a long time before I'm fully recovered from last march. Life is funny in that it seems to go around in circles. I think it's a good thing that friendships are preserved even if things will never quite go back to being the same. The hardest thing is always maintaining faith in the fact that the Lord is leading my life, but it's all part of the walk of faith. If I've reached this far then there's no reason to doubt the future wont be what I need. That's the thing about God--H wont necessarily give you what you want but He'll always give you what you need. I take solace in knowing that ultimately what any of us need is Him. And if my life is to be one of companionship with Him--well then in truth that can't be said to be bad. There are a lot of things that could be worse. I look forward to the Easter service and Communion. The weather has been wonderful by the way. As a teacher, we get Spring Break. I think I may use the week off to go to the botanical gardens and just experience all the spring blooms.

JANUARY 2012

It's hard to believe i haven't visited this blog since last March--almost a year. The events of last march will always be with me. Unfortunately they are a part of me now. Lessons learned i think--but life rarely gives you a chance to put what you have learned into practice. Instead it throws entirely new situations at you that have nothing to do with whats gone one before. The learning by trial and error and hard knocks never really ends i think. Well Jan 2012 is here. A new year---what will this year turn out to be? No real way of knowing. Walking in faith often feels uncomfortable. Nothing left to do but to proceed. I have already accepted certain truths about my future. They're still hard truths to swallow, but at least i wont waste anymore time chasing after foolish, insubstantial dreams. The most important thing is learning to be at peace with where you currently are in your life journey.
