Okay, so here I am checking in again, partially due to a humorous situation from yesterday and today. The story is this - I have a Facebook account, but I haven’t been on it for the last 2 months or so since before school let out for the summer. Yesterday, when I got on it, I changed my status message to say that I’m wondering if my Facebook account is going to be like my blog – something I almost never touch. Shortly after that, someone posted to my wall, “What’s your blog?” My response was - something I almost never use or post on. :( I had to laugh since someone was wanting to see my blog, which I was slightly embarrassed to say had not been touched recently either.
So here I am now in the midst of all the busy-ness of the summer, posting now on my blog. Life is about change, and change is what’s happening right now. Our pastor recently resigned to become a VP at Clearwater Christian College, and his last day was this past Sunday. Now we begin the arduous journey of finding the next pastor, and there are questions and rumors everywhere. Who’s doing this? Who’s responsible for that? Are you leaving? Any word on what the pulpit committee’s doing? Argh!!! But that’s life.
The best part about life is that we have a God who cares. A God who cares enough to keep caring, no matter what situation we’re in. A God who’s good enough and powerful enough to work everything out for the good (in the end) of those who love God and are the called. Psalm 18:31 says, “For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?” Psalm 107 begins, “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” Our God is great, but our God is also good. On Him, we can always depend!
