This has been a crazy and blessed week.Camille was in a horrific car accident and was able to walk away - though she did get a CAT scan and x-rays at the hospital (as did her aunt and cousin). Needless to say, Christie and I have been so thankful for God's mercy, as well as all the men and women who have worked to make our automobiles so safe - this was a 55mph T-bone accident, not no fender-bender.
Christie has been flying completely solo at her studio - there's lots of details but let me put it this way: it ain't easy having all the responsibility and none of the authority.
And then, last night my left eyeball started having this sharp pain, glossing over and feeling generally uncomfortable. I woke up this morning pretty sure I have pink eye. So, I worked from home today which is ok, just harder to do.
All of that to say, I am buhLESSED (translation: WAY blessed), and not just because there are folks who have it worse than me - that's a lousy way to measure blessed-ness, don't ya think?!? I am blessed because I have a God who loves me, my wife and my daughter (and my whole family) more than I could ever comprehend, AND who has a plan for each of us that He so desperately wants to share with us, AND because I know the temporary frustrations and pains of this world don't even weigh down the joy of my salvation and hope in God's amazing grace and love. I am not a human being who has a soul; nope, I am a soul that has a body... for now. This life is not my own (nor is it my final destination) so I can walk in confidence that He who began this life will be faithful to complete it. My biggest challenge is to walk as the son my Father is loving, training and encouraging me to be... the details of each step are His to worry about - I just need to walk, true and straight. I love my life, my wife, my daughter, my home, my dog, my job, heck... I even dig my very practical Prius! I have NO complaints about my life on this planet becuase I know I am loved and will never have to walk alone. Ever.
Oh yeah, theme song... do you have one? Check out this video (thanks, Darrell!).
