My Husband ROCKS!

This picture was taken by Jason last year. I just love it! This past Sunday, when Bryan was drumming at church, the first song started, and I watched in awe as my talented hubby rocked out! As I was watching and smiling, all of a sudden he dropped a stick! (Actually, it went flying! Yes, I laughed!) Well, the cool thing is, he literally didn't skip a beat! He just grabbed another stick and kept right on going! It was awesome! Believe it or not, in that split second, I was really ministered to. It was in that moment of "weakness" that I was able to see Bryan triumph, and that in turn made my admiration for him and his talent even greater! 2 Cor 12:9a "...My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." I think that is true in life, too. When we see people succeeding and being blessed in their lives, it is so much sweeter when we know the adversity they had to overcome to get to where they are now. It's the "walking through the valley" that makes us appreciate the victory of emerging on the other side! Rom 12: 15 "When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow." I got to thinking about this when I read one of Mary's recent posts. Ever since they left to pursue God's will for them in Nevada, I've been reading on their blog about all the wonderful things happening in their lives! I've been happy for them and rejoiced with them and their successes... But, when Mary shared her heart about the trials they have had to overcome during this past year, it really opened the door for me to see how they have trusted in God to bring them through it all! Jer 29: 11 "'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'" May you put your trust in God today, and Praise Him, whether you are in a valley or on a mountain top!
