Chaos 2011
It’s 2012, wow. I can’t believe how fast things fly by. I will say this, last year was one of the hardest/busiest/stressful years I think I’ve ever gone through in a lot of ways. We went through a foreclosure, moved to two different apartments, still learning how to be a dad, and many other obstacles.
I can smile though. With all the chaos in 2011, there were really good things that happened too. One of the biggest things was that we found out Col and I are having another baby! That is a good kind of stressfulness. It’s all exciting but then you’re running around trying to figure out how to support another life. Somehow, when I feel I haven’t done anything right and don’t know where else to go, God has always provided our needs. You would think by now as many things as He does to take care of us, we would get it. God loves his children, he loves to take care of us, so why do we worry? Why do we fear? Why do we pull our hair out?
Oooo ooo, I know! It’s because we’re tapping into the part of us that is still holding on to control! If I’m a flight attendant, why am I trying to steer the plane? I have a job to do, and like a flight attendant, I need to make sure that every part of this plane is trusting of the captain. Thats all I have to do. It’s not my job to figure out the things I’m unable to figure out. If science still can’t figure out space, then it’s ok that I can’t figure out a good way to get diaper smells out of the air the day after I take out the trash.
So, I know that the average human mind can’t keep attention to reading for more than like two minutes before interest begins to slide down the hill, so I’ll keep this short.
In chaos, as scripture says to be true, be still and know that He is God. I think there is great importance with ‘being still.’
I’m excited for 2012. I’m blessed to have the most incredible wife and baby ever and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for our family together, as we are seeking Him.
Happy 2012! God is with us
