"Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:  I am understanding; I have strength" -Proverbs 8:14

Sometimes understanding is hard to come by.  Who's fault is that?  God is full of wisdom and understanding and is ready to give it to those who ask it of Him.  I'm beginning to see this work in my life -- especially after the last 30 days have gone by.  I am so thankful for my Savior.  He is everything to me and His love is extravagant.

There is some understanding that takes time to gain.  This is understanding loss.  Whether a family member, friend, co-worker or classmate, loss is not easy to understand.  We wonder why bad things happen to good people.  I am comforted that God is in control and that things happen in ways that will bring Him glory and bring others to His loving arms.  Friday, September 4th, one of my coworkers lost her husband.  I'm not sure if they have any children, but my eyes tear up at the thought of a kid without their dad.  One thought that comes to mind is that we look at this situation from a negative view.  Somehow, because of the stress and grief of this event, we fail to recognize that our Christian brothers and sisters have just gone home.  God is so good.

Take comfort in God.
