A few parents insisted I had lost my mind. They wondered how my house would EVER recover. Here's the deal...yes things got broken and yes there are a few new spots on the carpet, oh and yes, there was a grass fire from the fireworks...but we had one incredibly memorable weekend!I'm finding so much peace in just accepting the bad with the good. God allows it all, right? I just spoke to someone on the phone who was so angry and was really wanting to place blame for different circumstances in their life. I want to encourage you...remember God is in control.
I am reminded of the story I read as a kid...a young man asked God, "Please make me happy." And God responded, "I give you blessings, happiness is up to you." I don't care what your circumstances are...you can find good...you just have to look for it!

In Chapter 4, Mark writes about the promise God made to Abraham. "God TOOK Abraham outside and said, Look up at the heavens and count the stars...so shall your offspring be." Mark reminds us that Abraham was probably in a tent and God took him on a field trip to step outside and LOOK UP! Abraham would never look at the sky the same way. The stars became reminders of the promise God gave him. "There is something about looking up into the night sky that restores my perspective and recalibrates my spirit. It reminds me of how small I am and how big God is."
"You have to be willing to go somewhere you've never been or do something you've never done."
Have a wonderful day and I'll see you soon....in Chapter 5! : )
