Looking Back

So much has happened and so many things have changed in the last four years of our life. And now as we can finally see a small glimpse of a light at the end of the tunnel, I have been doing some looking back and I feel I am now in a place where I am beginning to see some good come from what has happened. No, I don't completely understand what God's plan has been but I can say that I see His hand guiding in ever step of the way. I can't say I always liked His choices or His leadings but it's not for us to understand or ask why. So, here are a few of the good things that have come out of this. First and best of all, Nathan's salvation! I can not remember the number of times that I prayed, "Lord, let him hit rock bottom if that is what it takes to bring him to you." Had no idea He'd literally take us to that bottom but without hitting that low, I am not sure he would have ever been where he is today. He is truly a different person! I can also say that our family has weathered the storm and we're stronger for it. We have our issues, who doesn't, but we definately learned that God is our anchor and it is only through Him that we have made it through. There are so many other blessings, it would take me hours to name them all. But I wanted to praise my God for a few minutes here and let everyone know, we made it through the storm and our faith, though questioning and wavering at times, is stronger than ever. "Though at times my heart would break, there's a purpose in every step I take. That other's may see my life and know that God makes no mistakes."
