Yesterday the 24 of April, I was excited to come home and see what progress had been made... I am doing my best to get beyond the attachment to places or things and trust that God has this whole thing under control! Mark and I have been praying for MONTHS AND MONTHS that this would be a GOD thing and as I look at it right now... There are a million sermon applications that can be derived from this experience.
1) change HURTS ;(. For anything beautiful to happen it takes some pain! Wouldn't you agree? I mean... DUH really. Look at pregnancy, look at child birth, look at true LOVE, look at parenting, marriage, the corporate world?!? All takes some amount of physical, emotional or spiritual HURT To get anything really GOOD. I see that a thousand times over in my life! Why should I expect this to be any different?
2) stuff is just STUFF! My son saw my struggle the other day, wrapped his arms around me, and said "it's ok mommy, you still have meeeeee!" And wow!! That struck me because my memories aren't wrapped up in a pond or a patio or a plant, they are wrapped up in my family! Praise God for the wisdom of children!
3) HOPE for what is to come! I can't even imagine what THIS MUD PIT is going to look like when it is all done! But when I look at this in the realm of faith and HOPE, I KNOW in my heart of hearts that it will beyond my imagination! ;) it's like heaven... It is not going to be what I imagine... It is gonna be BETTER!
These are just a few of the life lessons I am sure. Excited to see what's going to happen today...
