Rocks

With the beginning of April starting up, I would be lying if I was to say life was a great laugh. A recent car break-in, pressures of retaking my exam (both internally and externally), realizing my beloved cat may not have long to live, a fellow co-worker passing away, settling some conflicting lifestyles at home - are just a few of the challenges I'm facing now.

None of these things really change my passion for GOD - or any of my ministries for that matter - it just makes life a bit more difficult to live. Like a few more rocks I have to carry.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
