He gave it all.

Sometimes I wonder, how could I ever have the right to be upset when I have it so good. I have a truly wonderful husband who cares about me and who works very hard to provide for Will and I. I have a sweet little boy who brings me many smiles. I have a nice (tiny) house, a good dog and I really can't complain.

And yet, sometimes, I do. Sometimes I look at the trivial things, the things that frustrate and upset, and I let those cloud my vision. Even now, as I sit here at midnight when I should be sleeping I am still aggravated by some unknown offender. It stole a large part of my day today and I do feel robbed. This cannot be God's plan, so who then?  I want to choose life. I want to be free of whatever binds me. The Overcomer comes. He who is Light, calls. The question is, will I answer?

Will any of us answer? Will we let him make us into overcomers too? Will we let the One who illuminates our lives shine light into the still dark places so that they can become light? I hope so. If not, well... I just hope so. Trust. I've got to learn to trust the One who waits for me. I'm glad He waits for me and doesn't run away or turn His back, like I sometimes do. May He teach me patience like that, love like that, so that I can be like that to my son. Even mommies need a good Dad to show them the way.

Why am I blogging about this? Good question. Probably because if I didn't I'd never go to bed. Sometimes you have to talk it out... and I hope that by talking it out maybe someone will realize that you don't have to have it all together to have it all. And I do have it all, because He gave it all.

Romans 8:32
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Goodnight everyone.
