Okay, well, this is just a little piece of my world. Actually, this is what I'm looking at right now. The Gerber Daisies are the remnants of the gorgeous bouquet my daddy sent me for my birthday. It was utterly brilliant and breathtaking! I've saved two roses that are now hanging beside my computer, and these three beautiful flowers have lasted and still brighten my day with every glance! Next to it is a picture of me and two of my dearest friends. I'm so thankful that God has allowed me some amazing friendships in the last few years. Some have started on the funniest of terms, some have lasted in spite of busy schedules, crazy lives, and differing interests, others have gone through seasons of change and morphed into something better than I ever expected.

I find that I too often doubt God. When I lose sight of Him and His greater plan, I easily fall away. Just yesterday, I was thinking, and let my mind wander from truth. Before I knew it, I was in tears, overwhelmed at my lack of understanding and strength. But with the guidance of a friend, and a moment to think on the God I love, my mind was once again at peace, trusting Him. What a clear example of Peter's escapade across the waves. As soon as he took his eyes off the LORD, he floundered. But with His focus on the father and not His trials, he could literally walk on water. And in a figurative sense, so can I. I'm learning that. Slowly. I've spent a lot of time fighting the waves lately-- a lot of time barely keeping my head above water. But God is teaching me that I don't have to fight it, that if I just look at Him, He'll lift me above the stormy sea and draw me closer to Him. He'll give me peace in the midst of the storm.

Katy,

Awww what a blessing it is to hear that you are still alive -grins-.. Friends are always a blessing and it is always amazing how one will meet the other- from running into each other or from being in the same room- {Katie and Sarah- who are in the picture with you- are both a blessing in many ways.}

I understand what you mean when ya said that ya find yaself doubting God at times. I find myself going through that at times too, but what a blessing it is to have great friends who'll help remind you that God is still the same yesterday, today and forever. We often forget that and think that God can't do something {mainly because we can't}.. but all things are possible with God!!!

Missing you loads sister {Sister in Christ}. I am praying for you!
