If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

I have been on the brink of tears for about a month now. All good things in life must come to an end. With the pace of life only seeming to quicken I haven’t had many opportunities to let all life has thrown at me sink in quite yet. Change, it comes with life, just another part of time. The inevitable is not something to fear but grow from. At times change is a familiar friend and other times it is an unwanted guest. I have mixed emotions with my current circumstances but I know I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else. God continues to lead and be faithful.

I went outside today because I needed some air. The breeze was ideal. If you know me, you know I love the wind and the perfect weather to me is when a cold front is coming in. Sitting on the front steps at my house which I have grown to love I started thinking back over the past year I had spent living there with my two wonderful roommates. One moment I was just sitting there praying and the next tears started falling. After gathering my thoughts I opened my eyes and a man across the street caught my eye. He had his hood up and he was going through my neighbors recycling bins. His motions seemed very routine and that saddened me. It seemed like any other day for him and as if he was use to going unnoticed. I went back in the house and got a gift card to offer him. I talked to him for a little while and while he didn’t have much to say his demeanor was kind. After walking away from this man whose name I didn’t even know I had better perspective on life. I owe him more than he will ever know. Leave it to God to work in the unexpected. He works in such great ways to renew our minds to His kingdom.
