When Life Throws A Curve Ball

(c) Cara Putman

I’m in the middle of one of those times that makes life … interesting. A time when I keep asking God if I can have my charmed Christian life back. Instead, I get to walk a path I didn’t want to and that I don’t fully understand.

As I wrestle with God, I am determined to make this experience count. And as I’ve wrestled with it I’ve come to realize something so important. All those thing that I’ve said I believe … things like God is good … He sees me even when I can’t see Him … He holds every detail of my past, present, and future in His hands … I really believe them. In fact, those principles are the foundation that I cling to as my world rocks on its axis.

I am also determined to seek His face. Even if all I can do is crawl across the floor to His throne, I will get as close to Him as I can. And maybe, as He holds me I will begin to feel His comfort and His tears.

And even as my heart is heavy, I look foward with expectation to how He can use even this experience for His glory and His good. Because I know that I know that I know that He is good.

All the time.
