it’s been a while

the last time i wrote, i was complaining about life.

tonight, i’m going to tell you how good life is.

 

life is so good. it’s taken the past two weeks, but i’ve realized that life really is good. even if there’s a little bit of crap going on right now with school and work and the people around me…. life is good. i can totally and completely see God working and moving and tilling the soil of my life. really going down deep with me and pulling out all the weeds.

that is how i know that life is good. i know that it is, because i can see the goodness that is down the road. even though things are stormy now, and i’m stressed, and tired, and cranky, and stumbling and falling all over the place… i know that the LORD is right there next to me. and where i start looking at my life, he looks too. he helps me sift through the garbage. he shows me treasures i thought were trash, and he shows me trash that i cling to as treasures. and he does so in the most gentle of ways.

he is kind, and he is caring, and he is gentle, and he is persistent and insistent on me learning what i need to learn, holding on to what i need to hold on to, and letting go of all the things i need to let go of.

he is good.

he has made my life good. i am realizing it has been good these whole past two months. this whole past semester. it’s been good. though i have not been, i have been. if that makes sense.

 

 

i can’t focus.

 

the LORD is good. just know that.
