It's been awhile since I last wrote here. So much has happened, it almost takes my breath away.  After Dad died a year ago, Mom stayed in her house until last fall. Now, the three of us live together in our house next door. We are the Three Amigos and do everything together. What a blessing!

Getting to this point meant we would have to clean out all the outbuildings of 100 years of dust, dirt, and treasure. We would have to have an estate sale, and we would have to sell the farm with most of the land. With God's guidance, we did.  Now we live on the remaining acreage, while we watch our new neighbors fix up the house and log buildings. God is good.

In all this change, God has been with us, directing us, and comforting us. But He doesn't want us to get too comfortable now, so He has allowed new trials to grow us into the people He means us to be. During the dark times,  the three of us have to keep reminding ourselves and each other that His grace is sufficient for this day. THIS day, not tomorrow or next week.

I know this scripture back and forth and yet I continue trying to apply grace to tomorrow's supposed disasters. It doesn't work because it is not supposed to. God did not say grace was enough for tomorrow's evil, but only for today's.

When I see how God has been in every detail over the last year, and years for that matter, I marvel at my own weakness to fall into the same trap over and over again of figuring out and fixing the future.

Even then, God reminds me, "Be still, my children, and know that I AM GOD."
