As I was logging in this morning, I saw that I have 14 followers.

Does that sound a little creepy to you? :)

"Following" is a mixed bag. Parents want their kids to follow directions, and we all sigh in relief when our kids do what other kids do...play at the park, participate in sports, obey the rules, and such. BUT, we also want our kids to think independently, to question the status quo, to stand against what the "world" says is acceptable or even desirable.

I am not always good at following God's lead. I want what I want when I want it.

There. I said it.

But you know, a lot has happened in our lives in the past six months. The only way we have survived is to follow God's lead. And the closeness of TRULY following God, letting Him have the wheel, has provided a peace we've not had in a long time.

I would like to think so - after all, our mothers are friends. :)

I don't read my Bible like I should, and I haven't been to church most of the summer due to camp, but one thing I know is that our God is an awesome God Who takes care of our needs always. I think you feel the same way.
