I have had lots on my mind lately. Reflecting the past and wondering how the next few weeks, months and years will play out. I am so thankful for my faith and God's amazing ability to give peace despite the storms of life.
Lately I've been pondering how I would react in the certain situations I see those I love faced with.
Putting myself in their shoes, I've asked:
what if:
* I couldn't have any children and that was the passion of my heart
* I was diagnosed with an illness that would shake up my life and family
* I was told "I don't love you anymore"
* my health was failing and though bed rest is the only option, loneliness sets in
* the security in my job has shifted and work no longer needs me
* God closes a door and the dream/wait is over and now unsure what tomorrow will bring
* a car accident means my love one will never walk or talk again.
and this one breaks my heart completely,
* the doctor told me that this would be my last Christmas
These are true hurts of the loved ones in my life. Storms will always be a part of our lives. Thankfully, God is with us and is walking with us each step of our journey!
Somehow that makes the 'what if' feel less scary.

Unknowns are utterly scary. But I trust in Him that made me and cares for me than I could ever know. I just wished I would trust sooner and save myself all the heartache of worry....
