circumstances I am, to be content.” (Phillipian 4:11)
There’s so many new seasons in life and we’re always on the brink of the next one, even if it’s just tomorrow or the next minute or the next 6 weeks. My husband is on the brink of a military retirement. So that’s a big brink. We have teenagers and little girls in our house who are always on the brink of something new and mischievous. Brinks can be joyful and exciting or scary and crippling. But no matter what’s coming, it will come and it will happen, and good or bad, it will also pass. And it is all meant for good. It’s all a temporary stay that’s training for the next brink. We’re all living on the brink. We can either trust God, set up our camp and string up a few lights for the time being, and launch our boat in the water for the adventure or we can just sink in fear on the brink. If we choose the former, we will find joy getting to the other side of the mountain. And we will grow and learn and live. If we choose the latter and sink under our own control, we shall surely die. I am learning that it’s just best to go with the flow of God’s good plans for me, and realize that I’m a sojourner passing through the rough and still waters of this life. And every now and then I have to set up camp, string up a few lights of truth, seek out the joy in all the things, and just be a “happy camper.”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.“ Jeremiah 29:11

What a well written great insight!
Great to hear from you. I‘m still mad at myself for not going to the march for life in Munich and missing the chance to see you again, just because I was still a little sick…
Blessings to you and your family!
