\u201cBlessed is the one who perseveres under trial\u00a0because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life\u00a0that the Lord has promised to those who love him.\u201d James 1:12<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every morning Louise and I ask God to protect us, our family and all of you spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. We pray that prayer, because we know that life is filled with trials; that life is Messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know about you, but I haven\u2019t had that many days when all of my expectations have been addressed or satisfied. I\u2019ve experienced little messes along the way and every now and again a big one has jumped in to wake me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We just finished another best seller by Matthew Kelly titled \u201cLife is Messy\u201d. He\u2019s very transparent about some of the messes in his own life. He says, \u201cThe mess of life is both inevitable and unexpected. Life isn\u2019t a color-within-the-lines exercise. My life was fine until everything wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unless you are living a perfect life, you may want to give this book a read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
