Thinking...But Not Too Much

It is so cliche to write almost anything here. I have written it, you have heard it; "I can't believe this is happening", "God has a plan", "everything will be fine", and on and on.

Life is the same so often. It is almost too simple. We learn about God, we have a crisis, we lean on God, we get through the crisis, so we learn more about God, we have a crisis, we lean more on God, we get through the crisis. There are circumstances in between, but there it is again. A lesson to be learned again and again. Justin has been through this many times, I have, you have. It is there, and we do it.

It doesn't matter if you have certain clothes, a special job, a great car, lots of money, a beautiful tan, the right friends, real estate, the great American dream. There will come a day when all that stuff takes a back seat to your crisis. I don't mean this to be depressing. I mean it to be my chance to tell you, "BE READY! Don't wait for a painful time in life to learn how to live with the hardships. Take time now to get to know the One that you can always rely on for help. He can, and will take you through it.

Justin is trusting, knowing that God will help him through whatever the future holds, the good, the bad, and everything in between. I am doing the same thing. This is the best part. God tells us to not worry about tomorrow, for today holds enough problems of it's own. That is comforting for me. So I can think about the future. But not too much.
