fixing my eyes
It the midst of a very challenging farming season I am constantly reminding myself to keep my eyes fixed on the God we serve. The rain, the lost crops, the frustrations....these things are not coming as a surprise to him. He allows things to happen for reasons we do not understand at the time, but I believe with all my heart that there is something to be learned....something to be worked on....something that may need to be let go of....something he so desperately wants us to grasp as we are working through the tough patches in life. I also am reminded of how our reaction to things that are completely out of our control, can have a very profound impact on the 3 little sets of eyes that are watching us. My prayer for today is to be grateful for all that we have...to be open to the ways that God is trying to refine and mature us...and to use the hard things in life to teach my children that God's plan is always for our good...and for his glory. Baseball. It's what's go
