Change is God's way of helping us to grow

The days have passed and turned into weeks. There is much activity in my life. I have been apartment hunting and will be moving in a couple of weeks. Adjusting to a new lifestyle and less space will take some time but like all things I will make it work.

My business has begun to gain some traction and I am fully optimistic in its future success. Today I begin interviewing candidates for the newly created Business Development Manager. I am encouraged by the quality and number of applicants and feel comfortable the right person is among them.

God continues to lead me on this path. Every time I get to the end of a path a new direction appears. The trail is often not marked but I step forward in the knowledge God is with me.

It was a year ago last Sunday when I first sent Susie an e-mail with a smile. It is a smile which has had a profound impact on who I am and she has given me so much encouragement as I move forward with where God is leading me. I truly love her and am grateful for every day we are given together.

The distance remains an obstacle for us. Sixteen hundred miles makes for some loneliness but has also given us time to really get to know each other and build a relationship through words and understanding. We both believe God has a plan for us and will let us know when the time is right for us to be together. His grace is what sustains us and allows us to be patient.

Where there is God there is hope, love and a sense of purpose. The good news is God is everywhere and all we have to do is reach out and He will sustain us. Blessings to each of you in your own journeys.
