Well call me crazy....

Tonight Kent was making funny voices and I said, are you going crazy?  He said, probably.

He makes me laugh often, I love him so much and cherish time with him so very, very much.  Every day is a gift with him.

Kent has a cousin.  His name is Scott -- I adore Scott...I really, really do.  I am thankful often when I get the chance to be with Scott, he is loving and generous.

Sometimes when I have had time to spend with Scott and his partner Patrick, I wonder how we got so lucky to have family like him.

I got a text from Scott that he is facing some tough times.  He told me he was praying and asked if Kent and I would pray for them.  I felt super privileged to go to God on Scott and Patrick's behalf.

I know that without my prayer life and my time in scripture the past struggles would have been or felt insurmountable.

So, of course, I will take Scott and Patrick to God and I pray that God would move in a mighty way in their lives.

I read today in Psalm 119:68 - You are good, and do good; Teach me your statues.  I thought of Scott right away, because sometimes it doesn't feel like God is good and does good things, the fact is everything that comes to me -- passes by the the Lord first.  He allows all things that come to me.

I read this weekend John 16:33 - Jesus says, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

Thankfully, I have Him on my team.  If He overcomes, then so do I.
