What a month it's been...

The last 30 days has been one trial after another, with happiness and sadness sandwiched in between. Last night I finally had a chance to sit quietly by myself and looked back at the last 30 days to see that once again I've faced adversity my way... going at it too fast and forgetting to slow down to ask God what he'd like me to do instead. It's sobering to acknowledge, but I'm also so thankful to God to stop me on my tracks and pull me back towards his way. When God stops me, then I know I'm beginning my way to recovery...
