Sometimes it just feels good to write, even if the writing isn't that good. It doesn't matter because I'm writing just for me, just to get it out of my head, out of my system. I'm sitting here reflecting on the obstacles that I am or my family is currently facing. We have a significant few. But, perhaps strangely, I feel calm and assured that everything is going to be ok and work out fine. This feeling, I know, comes from God. He loves us and is aware of our struggles, self doubts, fears, insecurities, frailties, strengths, gifts, and potential. If we (I) truly understand Him and our (my) relationship to him (child and father), we do not need to doubt anything. Yes, things will be difficult, and we will need to take action and do our part, even when we don't want to or don't think we can, BUT he will take care of us, always. Nothing else matters. My little word of the year, trust, takes a big amount of commitment to see through. And, I'm trying.
