Other than going to Heaven surrounded by everyone I love....which isn't a goal that is mine to realize, my biggest goals are to lose weight and become healthy and become a fruitful writer! Actually, even those goals are not completely mine to realize! In fact, the very air that I breathe is provided for me by my gracious Heavenly Father, who gave me life. And, even as I shed tears for the victory of the contestants on the Biggest Loser, and got a little emotional for even the frivolous dancers on Dancing with the Stars, I kept turning to the weather channel to watch the powerful and terrible destruction from the tornadoes in the midwest. Life is a gift, life is fragile, and even what we accomplish is only through the grace of God, who is the author and perfector of our faith, the giver of life itself and the origin and fulfiller of our every hope and dream!
Jerri, last night I posted that I didn't like those two shows, but, you know what? I get it. When I put myself in the place of those reality stars, I saw the potential for failing miserably in front of 20 million people. You see the potential for meeting your own goals. I like your picture better. You reminded me that I never walk alone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sunshine today!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I'm not sure what happened to my post to you, but I mentioned that I am totally inspired by your walk in faith, how you took Eli into your life and how you are returning him to his mom, even though I'm sure you will miss each other! You are amazing!
