A few weeks ago I took my neighbor's two little boys to AWANA with my kids. As we were leaving and I was..um.. herding (?) the six kids the the van, it struck me that this would have been my life if things had gone as I had planned. The extra two boys are 8 and 5, about the same ages of Michael and Habakkuk.
The life you have instead of the one you wanted. This isn't the way I thought things would go four years ago. I never imagined the pain so deep, the loss so great. I couldn't have dreamed of the joy so sweet or a purpose so meaningful. I'm so glad God has never asked my opinion of what He should do in my life.
This journey of love. I laugh when I read that title now. I had no idea. "Sometimes love leads to unlikely places". Well, I guess so.
