CRISIS,
"The Chinese character for 'crisis' is actually a combination of two other characters. One is 'danger', but the other is 'opportunity'. We usually view a crisis as something to totally avoid. We see or experience the danger, never dreaming or desiring that it may involve an oportunity."

I guess for me this has been a week of family crisis. And as I was thinking about this I really appreciated this defination of crisis...just because there is so much hope in the "Canadian crisis"; when we get to the point where we get to break through the surface level. I'm so tired of staying on the surface; with the drop in centre, with the issues of life that we all dance around and avoid. The family secrets....the ignored pain...the down played divorce...the silent screamers...the game of life that we play. Some days the air just feels so heavy with pain; Every corner you turn, there it is! But...I would choose pain, crisis and sorrow over the comfort of apathy; I would choose God's action over temporary sanity; I would choose near death over barely living. Obedience over satisfaction.

I know I"m being quite vague right now, but this blog has always been supposed to be a chance for me to shout my praises to God (with Ash keeping me accountable)!! God has had His hand all over the problems of this week and the action never seems to end; He is never at rest! His agenda will happen even if I don't have the emotional strength to see it all the time. He is SO faithful
