THE SUN HAS SET!

So as this year comes to a close, I watch the sun set...literally and metaphorically!  As I drove in my car(which is all too often) I watched the beautiful sunset that God painted across the horizon and as my relationship with Luke(the sunshine in my life) fades away, I realize how beautiful love truly is.  God is constantly reminding me that although the sun may fade away, tomorrow brings a brand new sunrise!  I am ever grateful for this reality.  I am reminded time and time again, that we will never know what tomorrow may bring and with this truth that I hold on to, I anticipate an exhilirating 2009!  Only God knows what is next!

CLARITY

So as I sit here and contemplate about our country's recession, I quickly turn my focus on to what really matters in life.  Even though the tv is blaring about the crashing stock market and the newspapers have headlines of despair; I'm constantly reminding myself to not have fear.  I can confidently have a life full of hope and peace of mind because God has all of this under His control!  Don't get me wrong, when you look around and see sadness and destruction, it can be a harsh reality.  So, that is when I must find all of the faith that I can muster and look up!  I completely have to trust that God will make it all work out in the end.  This picture of this amazing rock formation helps me gain clarity...God can make something beautiful even out of rock.  He will always make a way and it just makes perfect sense.  I will always marvel at his incredible beauty!  Times are tough, but God is tougher!
