"Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough but we're gonna make it"I'm entering into an strange time of new and forced beginnings, so this turmoil seemed like an appropriate reason for me to restart this blog up. I've had a bizzare love/hate relationship with this blog. I've always loved sharing what is going on in my life and what God has been teaching me, but I've always hated the personal conflict that I stirred up by doing that. Lately I've been feeling like taking it back up again, so I'm going to make another run at it.
So I'm coming through a time where in the past few months, a lot of people that I'm close to are going through some serious life changing stuff. Serious awful slimey painful stuff. Lost jobs.. chronic illness.. terminal illness.. divorces (3 couples in 3 months).. long term relations and engagements breaking off.. Then add the whole mess down in Haiti to the mix and you would have to have your head in the clouds to not feel down about any of those things. So the weight of the world is a heavy burden on me at this time.
Right now I'm seeking that peace that surpasses understanding and hoping to find that Jesus truly is the King and that He is good! I'm trying to find meaning and reason in this pain and suffering, but all I can come up with now is that we live in a time when the Kingdom of God is coming and is here in some ways, but not yet here in others. So I'll try and keep up heart and hope if you can keep up encouragement.
Blessings
Jason

I am feeling it, too. I am just so thankful that we have each other to work through all of the hurt that is in the world.
Ugh. Some serious shitake has gone down recently and it is almost enough to throw up your hands in surrender. However, there is amazing stuff going on too. Babies being born, people getting married, new and awesome opportunities to see that the world is constantly flowing. Good happens. crap happens. Sometimes it seems that there is a lot more of the bad stuff but we know that God promises to work all things to good.
Well said, Mer! Especially the part about "Serious shitake". I like that expression. I do feel really hopeful today. The sunshine helps.
I like that expression too.. I'm going to start using it :)
