Chillaxin'

My family and I spent quite a few hours on the road and are now at the Oregon coast enjoying a few days of spring break.

It looks like we broke a record today on the blog in both number of hits and comments.  If you have not read the comments, please check them out.  

So much of this blog is only my observations and thoughts.  But really, my story is only a small part of the whole story.  Many of you reading this blog have your own stories which are just as real and valid as mine.   Together, we make the whole story and can convey the real picture of what we experienced, the pain we went through and hopefully, the process of healing.  God will use what we went through for His purposes. 

On the trip, I was able to read a few of the comments that were sent to my phone, but after I "publish" this, I will go back and read the comments again in the context of the post.  I want to read your words and understand what you went through. 

Thank you so much for your comments.  Once again, you are validating the need for a place to be able to freely talk and share your experiences.  

I leave you with this picture of what I look like right now.  Yes, those are my very old and comfy slippers and that is the amazing raging Oregon coast beyond the dunes.  There's a storm right in front of me.   And there is a spiritual storm going on as well.   I feel very comfortable in this storm because I know Who is at the helm of my ship.  Praise God!
