We look forward; we plan our days and our years. We look behind us to our foundations--what are we built on? As Hank and I evaluate where we are and where we are going, we can't help but look behind us to where we have been. Just as Samuel set up a stone of remembrance so that the people would never forget God's sustaining presence, we also want to stop along the way to display evidence of God's goodness. We see these stones in how He has built our family--we can't look at the faces of our children without being reminded of His careful orchestrating hand. Here on my back is another reminder, the scar from surgery that is a one-inch-long summary of the seven years of constant pain and weakness He brought us through like fire.
These words are stones. Taken and set up, stacked upon each other, my only goal in this blog is to build something that reminds us and points others to the evidence of God's help, his strength, and his goodness to us his people.
