We all have bad days, and some have bad years. This has been a difficult year, but also our greatest blessing. Losing one’s equilibrium is a great symbolic lesson, and it teaches me “to be still and know that He is God, and that he is in control.” My constant concern over balance and equilibrium causes me to move slower and more deliberate in every decision and every movement of my life. What once was viewed a curse is slowing being recognized as a great blessing. By the way, please don't let anyone tell you "The Lord won't give you anything you can't handle". It's not in Holy Writ, at all. He gives us plenty we can't handle. He wants us to give it back to him. He'll handle it. We need to reach out, and give it back. It's the only "Way". He is truly the Way.
