Romans 8:28

"As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother's womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things." (Ecclesiastes 11:5)

I cannot help but to think about this verse a lot. It seems like, for a lot of people, things take interesting turns in their life, some good and some bad, and sometimes it's hard to remember that we do not understand everything that happens to us. For instance, I knew that buying a house would cause some challenges, but I never expected there to be so many obstacles in the way of seemingly what other people go through as a smooth process.

But, despite the challenges and seemingly "death-defying" risk we seem to be taking, Ivis and me put an offer on a house in Independence on Friday. Whether it is meant to be or not will be revealed in the near future, but for right now, we just have to keep Praying that God's will be done in our lives, and the place that we are supposed to be at will not pass us by because we had a lapse of faith.

More updates on this coming soon...

Have a Good Week!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

I will Rise

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"

I hope everyone had a happy Easter!
