However the weekend wasn't all Easter eggs and candy. When Friday hit I realized how much I really miss my family but because I have such great friends I was able to endure.
Being away from everyone for Easter, not being with another family to celebrate with was difficult. But during this weekend I was reminded of the verse in Philippians where Paul talks about being content in every circumstance. Paul went from being in a very comfortable position when he was a Pharisee to having to depend on God and the generosity of others to sustain his day to day living when he became a follower of Christ. Following God is rewarding but it isn't always going to be comfortable, and why should we want life to always be comfortable?
Stepping out of your comfort zone helps you to grow, helps you to reach new heights, and widens your horizons to places you can go, people you can reach, and things you can do. Trust. Trust that God is in control, that he has the big picture in mind. Trust that no matter how far away my family is God is closer then my next breath.
The next few weeks are going to be crazy busy and I'm excited for the things that are coming up. A potential trip to Dallas this weekend, a New York City road trip the week after that, and home to Eugene for an Acquire the Fire the next weekend. Life is about to get very busy.
I always appreciate your prayers for safety, finances, and general good spirits and if you have any prayer requests let me know.
