What took me so long.

I watched the movie, "Facing the Giants", a month or so ago.  In the movie as the coach of the football team starts realizing that he can not face life on his own, he makes the statement to his team, "We praise Him when we win, and we praise Him when we lose."  I have heard this most of my adult christian life.  But I have just started really trying to live by it and believe it.  Lately I have tried to live where I am and enjoy God, life, my family, where I am. I do not have all the answers to all the questions, but I have let the reality sink in that God is God and on the throne no matter what is going on in the world or in my little section of the world.

Yesterday Pastor Michael used the verse, Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, Rejoice."

It just summed up my last few weeks.  Rejoicing in the Lord.  Because there have been some things going on that should have helped me out in life and because of decisions made by people besides me, they did not.  So what do I do?  Well instead of letting it control the way I feel, I just Praise God rejoicing in Him and where he has me and go on Living, Laughing and Loving.

Which I think that might be my new tattoo: Live, Laugh, Love.  I can't take all the credit, recently my mom went back in the hospital for a few days to clear up an ulcer on her leg that she had knee surgery on, (which she is home and doing well, talked to her yesterday) and the nurse trainee that was putting in her I V had it on her arm and it was like wow, that is the tattoo that I have been looking for that sums up where I am and trying to do.

Alright, by my count I am behind on my 2 posts a week for 4 weeks, so we will see what happens.

Later.
