I can't imagine a life lived without faith as a backbone.
As a Christ follower there's always been the sense that whatever happens to me or around me, it's taken care of. Whenever a tough situation arrises I know that in the back of my mind there is a plan, there is a reason.
This morning on my way to work the sun could not be found, gray clouds hovered and rain poured about. I thought about the people I encounter- my friends, co-workers, family and acquaintences. When there is a rainy day we automatically have the thought that this day doesn't have good things to offer. But after a couple hours pass and the streets slowly dry, the sun shines through.
Sometimes life straight up sucks and sucky things happen and people do you wrong and you do people wrong and rainy days and mondays always get you down and the person you love decides not to love you back...death happens, people fail, things go awry and blame is the most worn down path we take. But that's no reason to shut out the world. My gosh, everything has a purpose, EVERYTHING.
The place where I am at in my life right now feels good. Am I fully satisfied? No, I desire the even greater things that Christ has to offer me...
This morning has flown by.
Birds of a feather.
