There’s always a struggle to not let things you “get to” do become things you “have to” do. God’s used some recent events and conversations to remind me how thankful I am for the place God has put Grete and I and the opportunities and relationships he’s growing around us. For me, it’s easy to look at where I am verses where I want to be. But sometimes it’s good to see where I am compared to where I was.

Even though life is busy, it’s filled with exciting, important, and challenging stuff. And even the challenges are building and growing us for the future.
