Lately I keep thinking of the phrase, 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.' I normally don't pay attention to cliche' phrases like this, but it seems to be coming up all the time. The other day we gave Michayla a lemon and after sucking on it for a few seconds, she made a face that could have been put on America's funniest home videos. Lesley and I have been through our share of challenges but the Lord has been faithful to give us His perspective on our lives and give us the hope we need to continue to move forward. Another cliche' phrase that hit me this week was 'the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.' But it continues with the second, and third and fourth, etc. and as soon as we stop stepping, we stop moving forward. It has been a temptation for us to stop moving forward because we can't always see exactly where we are going. But as we have chosen to keep stepping, the Lord has been faithful to reveal our hearts to us and help us on the way. We are excited about where the Lord has us right now and we know it is a time to cherish. But, we are also excited about what is coming even though we can't seem to define it yet.
