  One month seems quite small in comparison to the road travelled over the past ten months, but still a milestone. Tough times are slowly painted over by moments of young love. The canvas continues to become our own masterpiece. The sun will continue to set and rise as new days bring smiles and concerns. Someone paying attention to even the smallest detail shows that he cares. It stems from a friendship and grows.

I added these cute patches on the elbows of this sweatshirt the other day. Too bad now it's warm outside so I am not in need of a sweatshirt as often... Darn.

overcome.

  Drawing nearer to the end of a season and the beginning of another contorts my stomach into knots. Questions, feelings, hopes and fears create a myriad of ideas as to what may come. At times the hope is strong enough to oust the effects of unanswered questions and fears. Unfortunately, moments of weakness open a door for doubt to sneak in. Striving to create a world of perfect circumstances sets an individual up for a fall. It is naive to expect a trail of pristine reactions and decisions to diminish the likelihood of something going amiss. No one is prepared for the unexpected.
  Life holds its tests and trials. Being a perfectionist and competitive, nothing would be more delightful than a pat on the back and an "A+" that tells me I did everything right. Reality is I won't. Pleasing over six billion people will not grant me a trophy; not even pleasing one person will do that. But peace that accompanies pressing forward in obedience is all the reward I need. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Day by Day. We merely live one day at a time.
