I have been blessed. As I reflect on this past summer before getting into gear for the school year, I am amazed at all that has taken place. From the fun things such as visiting family, blueberry picking, cedar point, swimming in Lake Michigan and reuniting with friends, to the necessary tasks such as moving.Sometimes I ask God, "what now?" But there is one thing He's given me, that being my new job as a music teacher, and I think that's all He wants me to do right now in addition to being an aunt, sister, daughter, friend, etc... :)
Sometimes I explain to God that I've had enough pain and that I can't handle any more questions...but He doesn't seem to think so. All of His ways are a mystery, and I know that He wants me to fully rely on Him. It's character He's concerned about, not my comfort and He daily gives me the grace I need to live in His presence.
This years theme at school is "Created for a purpose," taken from Eph. 2:10, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Isn't it wonderful to know that you and I have a purpose! To God be the glory.

i saw your blog and had to stop and give you proverbs 16:9 - I have a daughter who has also been through alot but has also found that she can truly be a blessing to others as you seem to be. God bless - go teach those kids some great music.
Oh Joey, what a beautiful post (yet again!). You definitely have a way with words & God is using you for sure. He does have a plan for each and every one of us. It's when we open our eyes to that & trust completely, that God will bless us.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! ~ Psalm 150:6
