Thoughts, who has thoughts?

My thoughts have not been recorded for some time now.  Why?  Good question.  Not sure I have a good answer.  Life gets busy, well hectic.  The unexpected crowds in and one must wonder if things will ever return to normal.  Then, there is the thought "what is normal"?  I am sure I am the last one who should answer that.  Home from Sri Lanka for the holidays with our Oregon family and having some blood pressure issues which my doctor says might be "stress";  my immediate thought is "you think, try walking a mile in my shoes".  Any mile I have trod over the last 10 years would be enough to destroy me if it had not been for the faithfulness of God.  HE has been there when I could think, when I could not think and even when I was afraid to think.  Many times I thought my brain would explode from over thinking and then God would gently tug on my spirit and let me know HE was still in control and that HE would never leave me nor forsake me. I am grateful HIS thoughts include me and that I am always on HIS mind.  Looking forward with HOPE to 2014 and all that it will hold for Popa and I.  We are truly blessed and we realize more and more each day that God has orchestrated an incredible journey for us.  May we be found presenting Christ at every opportunity.  Think on HIS faithfulness and you will find yourself in an attitude of gratitude.
