It’s been awhile since my last blog post. Since then terrible and amazing things have happened in my personal life. I say both terrible and amazing, because out of the terrible, God has created amazing. In a perfect world (or at least MY perfect World) I would always be the honorary fixer-upper in a given situation. My tagline would be: “The dude who brings order to chaos”. I would show up during chaotic events fighting Dr. Anarchy with my Anti-Pandemonium Stabilizer ray gun. I mean, my career says it all. I own an insurance agency…although I’m still looking for that Anti-Pandemonium Stabilizer ray gun on Ebay.
Recently, my wife was diagnosed with a very serious illness that kept her in the hospital for almost 2 weeks where she spent half that time in ICU. The helplessness of watching my wife suffer has been agonizing. However, the love our church and friends have shown us has been breathtaking at times. As a matter of occupation, I am often blessed to be a part of the joys and trials of my client’s lives. I love celebrating a new home purchase, a college graduation, or welcoming a newborn into a family. Sadly, life on this side of Heaven also has us face many tragedies as well. And through our most recent family crises, my wife has shown what it means to overcome trials. Trials do not overcome our faith or our position as children of God. James 1:12 states, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” It is amazing to witness another child of God standing firm through the trials and knowing that regardless of the outcome, she will come out on the other side still in God’s hand.
