New Beginnings

Ok Kids,

Only God knows what's going to happen in the future. We could plan and plan and plan and still, if it's not in His plan our plan does not come to pass. Missed connections and opportunities is God's hand at work, guiding us to where we need to be. That much I've learned in the past couple of years. I've come to accept things I cannot change.

Lately I've been focusing on a scripture from Ecclesiastes 7:8-9

"Better is the end of a thing than the beginning of it, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Do not be quick in spirit to be angry or vexed, for anger and vexation lodge in the bosom of fools"

For a good part of the winter of 2008/9 I focused on the doors that were closed in my life, as if I was too proud to admit that I couldn't make Brazil happen. So proud in fact that I completely missed a door that, while not busted wide open, was open enough for me to get my foot in. I think I'm going to K k k k Kathmandu -- it's really really where I'm going to.... :)

I'll keep you posted!
