Letting Go

June 1st, 2010 Lamentations 3 I remember the years of fear, uncertainty, judgment, and depression. Every day was challenging but still filled with the miraculous. While my life is drastically different than it was back then, God is still providing for me, still giving me what I need, and still patient in the midst of my battles and struggles. Every day I see evidence of His love, despite my failures. Whatever pain I am experiencing is either the result of bad choices or simply life in all its beautiful, disastrous glory. I cannot change what is done, I can only change myself. I cannot make someone be anything other than what they are. I can only change myself. Every day is a chance to take inventory and make necessary steps toward maturity. What am I holding onto? What do I need to get rid of? How am I allowing God to mold me into something beautiful?

Amen! Thanks for an uplifting post.

Babe,

You are the most loving person I know. You are my wife and partner, the glue that holds us together and I am a blessed man to have you for my wife. Anyone who can not see your brillence, talent, and heart is blind or ignorant. You are loved more than you know.

Your grateful husband,

Kirk.
