The Hardest Thing

Man!

Sometimes life tries its best to get you down. It's doing it's darnedest to do that just now. We are sadly faced with having to put our daughter into public school next year. Mainly because we have...I take that back. Mainly because I have not been taking the required care of our finances, we are unable to make ends meet without Kim working.

It, of course, didn't happen overnight. It's been a pattern of inaction over a few years. So, tonight, after our Condo Owners Association meeting, we will talk and pray about what to do until then. If you read this, and fear God, lift us up in prayer. He is able to do immesurably more than we could even dream, but sometimes, that means we have to do something we don't want to do, in order to achieve what he wants for us.

Dear Father,

I come before you broken to the soul, a hollow pit in my stomach. I cry out to you! Hear me! I've lived too long without your counsel, and I now know what I have to show for it. Give me peace, grace, and surety that what Kim and I decide tonight is in your will. Give me the peace you gave me that I was not going to die after my accident. Help me to know your mercy and grace. Help me to love your correction, so that I may walk with you always.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen
