"WHATEVER happens, dear brothers and sisters,
may the Lord give you joy...
We put no confidence in human effort.
Instead, we boast about what Jesus Christ has done for us."
This is exactly what we need to be focusing on right now as a family. Through the blessings and disappointments we encounter, we are to lift our eyes above our circumstances and see the joy we have in the Lord.
- In the same day that Patricia finds out she has a large tumor, she was accepted into Oxford for Grad school (her dream school).
- In the midst of the stress of selling our home and figuring out where to go, we have a little boy who delights our hearts with his ever smile.
- While Austin is struggling over his company and career direction, I am blessed with a great job with wonderful people who truly care about us.
So we throw it all into God's open hands knowing that all of our anxieties are the weight of a dust fleck to Him. I can rest in that.
On a lighter note... Will started crawling!!! It has been so fun to watch the progression. He's so proud of himself! He smiles that toothless smile that makes us all laugh :) I love that boy!
