Break A Leg...or a Wrist

This weekend, in the midst of preparing for BCHS' production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", my son, Josiah suffered an injury.

He went on a golf cart ride with a teenager who was helping out in the production.  He and the young man driving were having a great time (probably giggling and goofing around) when the young man decided to take a quick turn that Josiah did not anticipate.  Josiah literally fell out of the cart.

The result: scraped knees, scraped elbows, and a sprained wrist. He just did not anticipate the next move and it threw off his balance.

Have you ever had that happen to you?  A job change?  A demotion?  A failed marriage?  An economic downturn?

Sometimes, it is easy to lose our balance in such a situation.  It is easy to feel hurt, bruised, and a little bitter.

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." - Proverbs 19:21.

I take great comfort that even when our pride is bruised and our plans sprained, God's purpose is prevailing.  Winning.  Higher.  Better.

Have a great day and know that I am praying for you!
