I'm scared of my blog right now. I want to post. I want to catch up. I want to start 50 posts about all the things that have happened since May 21st. I want to lock myself in my room for hours and claim back some ME time. I don't think that's going to happen so I'm going to have to just get over it and move on.
As is usually the case, I don't know what's good for me. I can't imagine the way that God will bless me before it happens. If someone had told me ahead of time that a car accident would prove to be the sweetest blessing in my life, I would have scoffed. George is recuperating wonderfully. His injuries were so minor in comparison to the possibilities. Financially we've been blessed in all directions. But the greatest blessing has been the closeness that has developed as a result of spending all of our time together for such an extended period of time.
Our marriage is stronger. Our children are closer still to their dad. And we're entering into a period of personal and spiritual growth that is so exciting and thrilling. We've been able to pour ourselves into our ministry at church. As we take on a leadership role in our church's AWANA club we've been able to set meetings, clean closets, engage in training opportunities. I can't even imagine that we'd have been able to devote the time and attention we have to this ministry if George had been at work every day. It's as if God said, "Hmmm...I've got some work for the two of you to do so I'm going to clear your calendar for you." The summer has been busy and exciting and we've been able to work together to get kids to doctor's appointments and work on some much needed home organization.
It is so very true. We have no idea what to pray for or how God can work in our lives. All he asks is that we put our trust in Him, make ourselves available to Him, and follow His lead. And it's in situations like these when I am able to rest completely in Him.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

Hey girl... Sprittibee here. Shoot me an email!
You're back!
I'm so glad we're not given the choice of how some things happen. You're right, we wouldn't choose them and look at what we would miss out on.
My heart is happy that you've grown closer and that you guys are doing well.
That's fantastic! I love this post.
:-) Who needs a blog? I mean really? It sounds like your life has been blessed in more ways than are just in the post.
How fantastic for you guys. :-)
God is funny, isn't he?
