I remember where I was a year ago today and what I was doing and where I was headed. If I knew then what I know now I may not be where I am today. And that wouldn't be good. Because even though today was long and things are not so easy, I enjoy my life. I am breathing today - with two good lungs - (I think) and I have the option to choose joy each morning. And I do that. As I drive to work each morning I listen to songs that remind me of the fact that my day is not really mine to live.
So today, even though I could be in a different place if I'd made different choices along the way, I know that I am where God wants me and I'm glad. This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice in it. (even if I am mad...which I still am, btw...joy and maddness...hmmm...not unlike peas and carrots...they are not even remotely similar things that are forced together...) Today, though I would have given anything to not have to live in this screwed up sinful place this world is, I still praise God that He chooses to give me another day here on this earth. And even on days like today, when the past is a bit daunting and the present is far less than perfect, I remember that God is great,good, merciful, and glorious. And even though I don't comprehend why or what or how He does the why what and how all completely.
My God is an Awesome God!
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
