As I reflect on the many different events of 2010, I realize that there truly is a somewhere over the rainbow. I live in a day and time where life is not fair. People who repeatedly sin, and do things to displease God, constantly are blessed.
You have the feelings of jealously and anxiety about your life. You wonder what road to take, which one God wants you to take. You just must step out into that path. You constantly second guess yourself due to your insecurities. I have seen repeatedly the last week and a half, that God may be blessing those people, but God still blesses me in His way. I may not see it, but He is watching over me.
God is that somewhere over the rainbow. He is the giver of "the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true"; whether they are the dreams that we dream, or the one that He has planned for us.
I am sure that God really does have something big planned for all of our lives. Right now, all that I can see is that God has His hand on my life. I am not going to intervene in His schedule. I am waiting for when, "the clouds are far behind me, where troubles melt like lemon drops, high above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me".
God is in control. I am ready for that somewhere, whether here or there. I am blessed beyond belief. I just need to realize it every day. I need to bless others as well.
So, in 2011 . . .
I am going to ask God to reveal His plan. I am praying that God will encourage and uplift me through friends and family. I would love a significant other, but it is up to God. I am not going to push God, anymore. I want to seek out more ways to share God and His love. I want to encourage others to do the right thing in their lives for their sakes. I want to see my daughter truly happy every day, not just on some. I want my daughter to know the love of an earthly father, since she knows the love of her Heavenly Father.
I could continue that list, but I have given myself a tall order. I am asking that you pray for me in 2011, and I will pray for you, too!
Love and peace!!

I know God has a great plan for you. Funny thing is when he has a great plan for us and those who we trust destroy that path we find a new direction of hope. Kind of like the rainbow, those people were simply the storm and God is the promise after the storm. I know this is true for me then and now. In the end He is all we really need and all we are promised in the end. I will believe for God to supply you and Olivia with a true helpmate, with a faithful and God fearing heart.
Love ya, meant it.
Thanks! God has truly been with me throughout the past 33 years. He really has not let me down or anything. Sure, things have not gone the way that I thought, but I can see God's hand at work throughout all of it.
