I am there...

A friend of mine had this quote posted on her MySpace and it hit home with me so I thought I would share...

"Peace...it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

I am there. With the events of the last month and my husband being forced out of his job in ministry, I should be no where near there. And yet--strangely enough--I am there. I can't explain it. Not going to even try to. But I know I can say that I am there. 

Now that doesn't mean I'm not angry or upset about everything...I'm human and I'm doing the best that I can to work through those emotions because what happened to us was flat out wrong in every sense of the word. But it does mean that God--in spite of it all--is leading and guiding and working out everything for my good and for His glory. He has never failed us, never let us down, never led us astray, never not had the best in mind for us. We may not be able to see the road ahead, but I can rest in the fact that He can. 

And I am there.
