Wow, I hate that I have been gone for so long. Life has gotten busy these days for sure. The swing of school and dance and plays and concerts is in full swing. We have had a house full of new people with new needs and new schedules and new quirks. It can be an exhausting ride sometimes. And yet, I see it as an adventure. Not a fun one all of the time for sure. Last night there was a woman slumped over on my couch and I got the fun job of confronting her and trying to figure out what she was on. Nice! (At least the kids were in bed for that one). It saddens me so to encounter people who have so much life left to live and so much to offer who are only looking for their next escape. What a waste...a sad, sad waste. THEY have been gone for so long, they seldom know who they are anymore or that their LIFE is worth living....sober and alert. Yes the pain of the hell they have created must be faced head on and it sucks....big time! But there is beauty on the other side of it. Sadly, some never desire to push through to the other side.
I see it almost daily in this ministry. I see it in myself sometimes too. Fearful to push through the sh*% to the other side where there is a new scene I can view. Much prayer needed.
