Sometimes...

Sometimes, we don't know how we're going to get through things. Sometimes, we just can't imagine why things happen the way they do. And sometimes, we're taken by surprise at the way God works.

It's about that time of the year. Seniors are finding out where they're going to spend the next four years of their lives. They're wrapping up high school. And sometimes, many times I should say, the college acceptance process doesn't work out the way that they had expected or hoped. To those of you in the waiting room, let me just say, it's tough to hear a no. It's exciting to hear a yes. But it's perhaps the hardest to hear a maybe. And for many of us, that uncertainty is most certainly the scariest part of facing life. I'm trying to deal with it right now too, so I understand how frustrating and how scary things can be. Let me just say to you as I repeatedly try to remind myself - throughout it all, God has a plan and a purpose. Things may be so discouraging and the future may look bleak, but it's not permanent. What is permanent is a life spent without Christ, and an eternity of separation from Him. So, stand firm, hold your ground, and keep the faith. Tomorrow will come, and the day after, and the next. You can't live those days right now. Do live the moments you have now. They don't come back.

I'll be back for reals in May, but until then, I most likely won't be posting too often...
