why hello xanga...long time no see!

God is good, ALL of the time.

How dare I ever doubt Him.

If only He could sit across the table from me right now, if I could hear His voice, see His face.
Then of course I would drop dead, but still! I find it fascinating how it isn't that easy. It never will be. How our relationship is about pursuing one another. Of course it's not as easy as just sitting and talking, getting what we want out of the relationship, then just bailing. I am finding that a relationship between God and us is SO similar to that of a husband and wife. In order to maintain a beautiful relationship, they have to continue to pursue each other, it doesn't just happen. Same in our relationship with God. He is always there, but in order for us to obey Him, to seek His will, to live a life walking the right path, we need to seek Him in ultimate humility, repentance, and He will reveal himself.
A man can't just expect a woman to open up to him without question (well, considering today's society...hah). He needs to pursue her, cherish her, protect her.
I can go on and on, but you get the picture.

well, the swine flu hit Visalia and so far has killed 1 and made quite a few sick.
They've closed down a few of the schools, but by the end of the week all of the schools will be shut down.

aaand Willow has the fever.

I'm pretty confident that she doesn't have it, just because she doesn't have any of the other symptoms, but she is really really fussy. So if you all could pray that this doesn't turn into anything worse, I'd appreciate it.

It's getting a little scary over here. Especially since the little child that died was exactly Willow's age.
