I can't believe I only have 2 minutes left for the day and I am just now submitting my blog entry for the day. I guess it goes to show the busyness and productivity of my day. Today is a day of celebration for me, in small ways and in big ways. Little did I know this morning when the sun arose and I did too, what today would hold for me.
I have a new number. 176. I never thought after years of failed attempts and big disappointments that I would be able to succeed, to accomplish much of anything. Today and these last 2 weeks have proved me wrong. And the 3 digits of 176 confirmed yet again what I blogged yesterday, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And though the resistance was increased from 5 to 8 today and it seemed as though I were hiking up a rugged mountain through snow, the change in the number somehow lightened my load. I was encouraged.
And yes, while today we mourn the loss of a young man who found he had no hope and took his life, today I still celebrate. I celebrate a God that is bigger and stronger and more powerful and glorious than all these things. As the song so simply states, "Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades." Today there is great reason to celebrate for God is alive and well and active in changing men and making all things new.
