Sold

November 17th, 2008. House Sold! I don't know how to express the feelings and the weight that has been lifted. A great line from one of my favorite movies is, "someone been through what I been through they are supposed to learn something, I'm wonderin what I learned?" You pray for something for so long that it just becomes a part of your daily routine, a part of your life. So much so that when that prayer is answered your life looks and feels very different and a little like swiss cheese. I don't mean this in a bad way but, how do I take something that I have prayed about for so long, say "thank you" and just move on? How do I learn from this blessing, by blessing I mean not just the answer but the entire experience? "Thank You" my put a period on this season but will I retain the lessons of sustained prayer, peace during stress, faith in despair and humility in blessing? In this great blessing, this is now my prayer, that I would not forget how God has grown me and use that growth to build the body and equip those around me to grow in the same way.
