God's Will is Always Perfect....

....even when we don't understand. This is one of the most difficult facts to understand sometimes. I suppose that is why it is called faith. Believing in what you cannot see, certain of the things you cannot explain.

God is good.... He has brought a wonderful man into my life and I cannot wait to see him again. Yes, we are long distance. Yes, it is difficult. Yes, God is good. We talk on the phone every night for at least a little while - sometimes that means a few hours (thank you nights and weekends!), and sometimes it is only a few minutes. Regardless of how long we talk, or what we talk about, it is a blessing. I am proud to call him my boyfriend and cannot help but smile when we are together....even when only connected by the sound waves of a phone. Yes, God is good and takes us by surprise to prove His goodness.

God is good.... He has provided a job that has been enough to sustain bill payments being made on time, though not always comfortably. No defaulting on loans has happened, and that is a blessing. He has allowed me to travel to weddings and to see the boyfriend in Penn. God is good. He has provided and proven Himself faithful....again and again.

God is good.... Even though we do not understand why a little girl was taken Home at such a young age (not even one day old), He gave her parents time to hold and love her outside of the womb. God is good. the delivery was successful. God is good. He shows His love through the prayers and encouragement of others. God is good - His will is perfect - even when we don't understand. God is good. I don't understand why this has happened to two people who are very special to me, but it has... All I can do is pray for them, even though I would much rather drive to see them in Virginia and love them the same way they loved me during difficult times in high school. Even with wanting to do more, and feeling so helpless to do anything, God is good. He will use every situation in life to prove His faithfulness. He will use the hurts to prove His sufficiency. And if we understood everything that He will do with these situations, we probably wouldn't believe it could happen anyway. So for now, I trust that He is working in the background. Working in ways that we cannot see. Working to make the next chapter and scene beautiful. Working to produce gold out of our tarnished lives. Working. Working....

When I cannot believe the visible circumstances, I believe in the invisible God. He is better than all else. He is all we need. He is ALL!
