So http://www.fromthedeskofromil.blogspot.com/ is officially retired. Not only because I have not written something for it since September 20 of last year... and because I have forgotten how my passwords for it (the email where resets are sent has also shutdown)... but because maybe it is time to shut that chapter of life and move on to a new one. Life has done that in past few months, why not my blog.
So why hasn't the face of my blog changed much you ask? Well I'm still the same person. The core has not changed. I still love pretty much the same things. I'm still working on rectifying one of the greatest wrongs in my life... replacing my trusty steed... my bicycle (it is the fight that is half the fun). I still love music... I still whip on the saxophone when I can (Yeah I still gotz the Selmer!) I still love writing... (hopefully this is evidence of this). The core has remained but there has been change...
I'm now married and I don't have to think about loving my wife. I do. She is an amazingly strong woman who, in her simple but direct way, is teaching me about selflessness and devotion. We've only cohabited for a short while but this time has already taught me so much and I know there is so much more ahead. This indeed is the great adventure!
The second biggest education has been working at my job. Who'd have thought a few years ago that I'd be working as a combo agent for a rental company and now basically running a location in the heart of the Canadian Rockies? The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways.
There are challenges ahead. Challenges that permeate every facet of my own life and also lives around me. I have many restless nights lately thinking about the future of my family. Where will the end of 2010 find us? What lies around the bend? We don't know...
But what we do know is that we have always been loved.
We have always been protected.
And through the tough times that lie ahead...
God will pull us through.
