stretch.

I had a good chat with an old buddy yesterday en route to church. And strangely enough, in that few minutes, it did alot more good than the past few sundays have been.

See, sometimes you get to hear things straight from above, and sometimes He sends people who surprise you.

And what I've come to learn through these past few months, and it has been quite a steep learning curve, is this - we can keep whinging about how our life is tragic compared with others, ask questions why does everyone else seem to be having a better deal when we seem to be trudging through slippery mud and abrasive gravel.

And the thing is, if we're choosing to say we believe in Him and am committing to His plans, then He'll take what we mean seriously. Which means He'll put us in spots where maybe for our own vieww we aren't faring all that swell, but maybe in our situation we can do good for others, if we would but stop being selfish for a minute and look at how we can do something for someone else.

Truth is, things aren't roses most days, but yes, it has been sufficient. As promised.

Alot of patience to understand and accept, but yeah, I think I get the picture.
