November 2020, nearly the end of the weirdest year I’ve lived through so far. There have been more tragic ones… more personally daunting ones… more anxiety-filled for sure. But this<\/em> last 9 months has been epic in that the world has stressed out with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collectively, every country, every state has managed daily unknowns and tragic chaos together. Even now, it seems as if 7 billion humans await a screwy election outcome in our (so called) United States.<\/em> Most days I just pray for peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

College for our freshman this fall was anything but normal.<\/em> Not what she had anticipated, yet still doable. She made the best of inconveniences, discovering alone the way an amazing truth- adversity breeds friendship.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”<\/em><\/strong> Proverbs 17:17<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True friends surface when troubles arise. A bond can form fast and deep. Being away from home may bring this about… or dealing with the rules and regulations surrounding a surprise pandemic. Oh, the blessings of seeking camaraderie, being thankful and choosing joy!<\/em> If we will only trust God and do the next thing, He promises to be a Lamp for our feet and Light to our path.<\/em><\/strong> Psalm 119:105<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knows we are in need of a Good Shepherd to lead the way through, and so He becomes our Hope.<\/strong> Even during the strange and unknown, treasure can be found if we are willing to seek it out. You never know, this could be one of the best years yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
