Joy

I have a thousand things flying through my head right now, and I can't wait to write about them.  The past few weeks have been terrible, bearable, wonderful, and incredible.  I can't be more proud and impressed by my daughter, and at the same time be frustrated by the approaching teen years. Work is so hard, but it can be so fulfilling.  They make me mad at times, but I love my family.  Every high is met by an equally difficult low.  The roller coaster analogy fits so perfectly.  Life seems so out of control at times, and yet I know God is completely in control.  I'm scared and excited.  My faith is strong.  How can I not be filled with joy?

1 Peter 5:10 - "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast."
