Life provides us with trials and tribulations, wars and famines but also ample times of sunshine and peace. My wife and I spent the end of last week on a great vacation. A vacation where the weather was perfect, the food was good, and the rest was plentiful. Immediately after we came home, we entered into chaos. Not just one issue but seemingly a domino effect of multiple issues that led us to day 4 of attempting to close on our house. Most of you read that last statement and thought fourth day? It only takes one day-about an hour to be exact. Yeah we hoped it would have too. My wife and I had all of our ducks in a row, but sadly you can only control what you can control. The other parties involved had other plans to say the least. So we went from four days of a beautiful vacation where the forecasted rain was held back to today where the past three days have felt like the floodgates have been opened. I’ve arrived at this post to update our readers and listeners as to the reason for our absence.

“Everything that’s easy isn’t heaven sent and everything that’s hard isn’t from hell.”

Maybe this is why God blessed us with such an amazing vacation. Maybe because he knew the rain was coming.

Life is funny that way. It always amazed me as as a kid that rain could fall while the sun was still shining. There is a blessing in all of it, always.
