Burr it's cold!

The warm days of autumn have turned into the cold days of near winter. The weather report calls for snow! I feel the weather has reflected to a certain extent my journey. Just when you sit back and enjoy the warm fall day with it's leaves dazzling in all the beautiful brilliance of the season; a cold wintery chill hits the air. A frozen blast that hits you and you wonder if you'll flaw out and feel the warmth and security of the sun. We had a set back of sorts. One of the kind that is of the nature of our human nature of forgetfulness. A financial set back. How I love to have more than enough, but I guess sometimes God allows us to be like Gideon and He allows a subtraction that makes us more reliant on Him. I shed a few tears and did the fear thing of what does this mean. Then I realized I must go on. Oh Gideon, I am so like you. My faith is weak at times and oh how I long to be the Daniel, Paul or Samuel.

We walk by faith and not by sight. Easy words to memorize- hard words to walk out. I am on a journey to live that out. Blacksburg needs to know this and I must learn it if I ever hope to bring the light of those words to a community that has journeyed down a road of tears.
