Sometimes I Wonder Why...

The older I get the more I ponder life. I'm sure that has something to do with the fact that I've been on the planet, possibly, longer than I have left. Don't worry, I'm not WANTING to die, just kind of feeling philosophical tonight. You can close your browser window, that's fine. *grin* Honestly, I blog more for me than for you.

One week ago, I found out someone I know went to Heaven unexpectedly. I feel like Heaven's gained some good people this year. In some ways it's broken my heart, and in other ways, I can only imagine the party in Heaven. I know so many young people in Heaven, and want to believe that the welcoming committee is AMAZING! *grin*

The older I get the more I ponder life. I believe that's normal for my age.

I could obviously go on and on and on and on.

Here's what I do know....

Our loss this week was Heaven's gain.

God is still in control when my life feels out of control.

I'm on an incredible staff, and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Ultimately, I know I'm on Earth for a time such as this, and am where He has called me to be for now.

I'm blessed. Tremendously.

For now, I am going to pop some popcorn and watch Ellen. This week was hard, and I need to laugh.

Trusting God isn't easy, but it's the right thing to do.

Life is precious.

I plan to make every single day count.

*grin*
LIFE.
IS.
AWESOME.
