Calm

Over the last few weeks of snow storms and being sick I've had so much time to reflect on where I have been emotionally and spiritually and where the Lord is leading me. My dad died while saving me from drowning when I was seven years old. He didn't know how to swim or even float, but the fact that he took that leap of faith to save me without any regard to his personal preferences is amazing and has profoundly shaped my life. I miss my dad so much right now. He lead such a great life and worked very hard for his family and community. That being said everything does happen for a reason and I wouldn't be able to appreciate the wonderful family, church, and friends that God has allowed me to have now if I didn't go through those rough patches.
