My Heart Aches

So sad.  Friday evening, Indiana, along with numerous other states, was heavily hit with tornadoes.  First, let me say, tornadoes, well, storms in general, are one of my greatest fears.  I have been known to reschedule things at the HINT of storms in the forecast.  The devastation caused by these storms is mind boggling.  My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected. 

I have struggled with a lot of "fears," lately.  The fear of getting older, the fear of being lonely, the fear of life going too fast and fearing my own mortality.  Because of these fears, I have learned a lot about myself during the past year.  I  now have a much stronger faith than in the past.  I have finally, truly, come to realize that putting it all in God's hands is the only way!  I understand that I cannot control, predict or change the actions of others, but I CAN change the way I react to their actions.  I also know that I am stronger than I thought I was....maybe stronger than I've ever been in my life.  My attitude about growing older has changed and I'm excited about the future and to see what it holds for me.  I know God has great blessings in store for me and I'm ready for them.  I love my life...God is good!
