It is interesting how God works. I don't mean interesting in the sense of a good science project or an engrossing good book but I mean interesting as in a multi-faceted, wild and relational being. I was just thinking about
William Cowper's great hymn. One of the verses sings like this: Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, he hides a smiling face.
This week I have seen a frowning providence and I so quickly judge the love of God by what I can see around me. My feeble sense clashes so often with his grace that calls me to trust but I have seen beautiful things all around me this week.
I have seen that my community loves me. I have seen that my family loves me. Most of all, I have seen again that my God loves me. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace.
As complicated, confusing, befuddling and interesting life is, has been and will be, I know that God is right there in my time and space. The intimate love of my Father shows me what I need to see: Behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face.
though life's trials may come and go
though I may never reasons know
yet I will trust in the One who's hand
will will hold me regardless of if I fall or stand

your family and more importantly your GOD loves you.If you/we could see your life 3-5 yrs down the road, what peace we'd have hugh ! All you are required to do is be "ready" and God will bring the right one at the right time.(my opinion only). Remember, yo momma still praying for her, wherever she is.... Love you
Your blog touches even my feeble sense! I really enjoy the way you share your thoughts.
You should share this the next time you give the introduction at Tapestry.
