Peace

Like most Americans, I am shocked and saddened by the destruction of the Oklahoma City area.  My prayers are with the thousands of people who find themselves in the midst of a tragedy that changed their lives in a matter of minutes.

God never promises that we will always live a happy life.  Because we live in a sin-stained world, evil is prevalent all around. We can lean on our Creator God for comfort, encouragement, wisdom miracles and a path to follow.  Just when we think we have problems, we realize that there are many people who are struggling more than we ever thought possible.  As I continue to adjust to our move back to DFW and look for work, I can throw a great pity party.  But then I also realize that God is control of my situation as well and He has taken care of us thus far.  

My prayers go out to the churches in Oklahoma as they become the hands and feet of Jesus.  What a great responsibility and privilege to represent the heart and soul and Jesus to people who are looking for answers. 

As I was thinking about all this, I ran across a painting I did a few years ago.  It really gives me peace and comfort and I hope it does the same for you.  If you are having a difficult time, take heart. Jesus knows and He will not forsake you.
