Hello Again!

It has been a terribly long time since I have sat down to do anything here. Sorry!
Where do the days go? I have been busy doing the tasks the Lord has given me for this season - being a wife, mother, educator, and trying to keep up with the housework and laundry!
So many tragedies have occurred lately, that I felt moved to write. The girls and I (and Heath) were reading this morning in Psalm 27 and came upon verse 13 which says,
"I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." (emphasis mine)
And I was reminded of Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

So, in summation, the goodness of the LORD is still with us here in the land of the living. The Holy Spirit is alive and active. There is a day coming that this will not be true. But while it is true, we have hope. Hope that God is working good in the tragic circumstances around us; hope that He is working in the lives of those we know that need him; hope that God is in control and loves us more than we could ever imagine.

So, for today, I will not be afraid. I may be saddened, but I will hold onto the hope I have in Christ and will spend my day looking for His goodness.
