Changes...

I'm amazed at how quickly things in life can change. Everything can seem to be going fine, and then all of a sudden, your whole world is turned upside down.

That's kind of what has happened in my life since my last post. There have been some good things that have happened, but there are some things that will never be the same, and sometimes I wonder if everything will turn out ok.

Through this valley in my life, I've learned to lean more on the Lord than ever before. He is the only Friend who will never leave my side, never betray me, and never disappoint. It's great to have a friend like that! Another thing that I've learned is who my true friends really are. When you are in a pastor's family, you can be very lonely. Sometimes the only people you can trust and rely on to always be there for you are your family members. Friends sometimes come and go, but family doesn't. I'm really thankful for godly parents and grandparents and their example. I'm also thankful for my baby brother! He's been a really good friend to me through this difficult time.
