My second post isn't what I thought it would be

I thought I would be able to sit down tomorrow morning and write about what an awesome night we had seeing one of my favorite bands....Sanctus Real. But unfortunately we just drove 2 1/2 hours to find out that the concert was cancelled. :( No one is to blame, they couldn't get out of Ohio because of a snowstorm. Austin is pretty disappointed, poor thing. Although he is handling it very well, sometimes I don't give him enough credit. It would have been very easy for him to pout and feel sorry for himself. (like perhaps the writer of this blog does sometimes! ;)

It makes it easy knowing there was a reason we didn't get to see the concert, scripture tells me this...  And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose Romans 8:28. That is a pretty comforting verse, no matter what we face. From something as trivial as missing a concert, to facing surgery on your precious little baby, which I know the lead singer of Sanctus Real is facing next week. http://bowensheart.com/  I have to try to remember that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, not just me! It's easy to look at a situation, and question how can this possibly be good for me??? Well maybe the answer is as easy as, God  uses it to draw me to prayer...ultimately drawing me closer to Him. 


Tonight, I pray for precious baby Bowen (see above link) [He was born a few weeks after my sweet Grace.] I pray his surgery is successful and without complications, and that his family continues leaning on God for the strength they need to endure the next several weeks. 


How fitting, as I'm ending this entry......Lead Me by Sanctus Real just came on the radio!! 


God Bless!!!
