Random Thoughts

I was talking with a friend at church last night.  She has young children and has lost both of her parents.  We were discussing what it is like to teach your child about someone so important that they will never meet.  I told her that I think a lot about why God would have left both Bryan and I fatherless.  Bryan lost his father a little over a year ago.  She said something that will stick with me.  God will provide what we need when we need it.  He will do that for her children and for my child.  He will also do that for me.  It doesn't make everything better, but it does make things more interesting.  I go from being very sad about all that has happened to excited with anticipation of what God has planned.  I have a lot to learn still.  I am so thankful that God gives us all exactly what we need the moment we need it.  I think that a lot of that is reliance on Him.  That is a lesson I have not perfected yet.  

I am thankfully to be home getting my life back into what order I can.  I made a quiet but eventful return to Austin on Monday.  I think that Daniel and his family will head back tomorrow.  Please keep them in your prayers.  The weather is suppose to be pretty bad where they live.  Also, please say a pray for my grandparents and aunt as they travel this weekend to meet up with my uncle somewhere around Atlanta and then continue on to Florida.
