Last night I added my down comforter and even turned on the heat. (which I vowed I wouldn't do until November or December) Last weekend my sister and her family camped out at the State park. It was too hot to sit directly in the sun. My, my, what a week can bring......in a second, life can change. Dreams are shattered and the future is scary- in a moment. I live life with shattered dreams, I think we all do to a certain degree. My future is different, unknown and at times I live in fear of that.
God is not a God of fear. He promises me hope. Even though my dream may different, there is hope. I just have to trust that. (easier said than done)
These photos represent that hope God provides for me. The moments that are filled with tears and doubts, I remember my family. God's promise that I belong somewhere in this crazy world.
... a world where I am sitting like I just got off a horse. Yikes.

The blessing of family...
Holly,
I have cried a lot this week. Similar thoughts and feelings. I have prayed a lot this week. I trust God too. Sometimes when suffering is so close though, that trust is more difficult. I trust though that God gives us suffering as a gift "because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." Thanks for sharing your heart. I pray for you right now that God gives you and me HIS dreams for our lives.
Andy
