Breathe

It seems like this year has been punctuated by conflict and its resolution - ok hopefully.  Some days progress is hard to see - it seems like He has brought to the light everything I would have chosen to keep hidden, all the scars, all the faults, all on the promise that that was the only way forward.

Other days faith and forgiveness shine bright - and there is movement forward, progress growth. I'm so glad in all of this that God is ultimately in control, in the good times, in the hard, in the rejoicing and in the condemnation.

Each step makes me stronger, helps me to resolve the issues, become more whole. Each step though is an act of faith. 

He who calls us is faithful, he works all things for our good, no matter how hard that might seem along the way.
