Blessings

I really meant to blog more...but it just didn't happen in June....flowers to plant, water, weed.  Life and stuff just going on....I don't know where the time goes and I have a lot of thoughts tumbling in my head but don't get around to recording them here.  I had to put this quote up though....it summarizes what's been going on in my heart for months.


"Life is not a straight line leading from one blessing to the next and then finally to heaven. Life is a winding and troubled road. Switchback after switchback. And the point of biblical stories like Joseph and Job and Esther and Ruth is to help us feel in our bones (not just know in our heads) that God is for us in all these strange turns. God is not just showing up after the trouble and cleaning it up. He is plotting the course and managing the troubles with far-reaching purposes for our good and for the glory of Jesus Christ.” John Piper
