Six Years Ago

This Saturday, will mark SIX years from the day that I married my best friend.  My how time passes and how we change!  We aren't nearly the same people we were six years ago.  And then, just think, what will happen in six more years and then thirty-six years from now...

The Good & The Ugly

Ulcerative Colitis shows the good and the ugly side of me in so many ways.  Today, I have been thinking about how it (unfortunately) shows the bad side of my relationship with God.  You see, when I'm flaring, I'm quick to cry-out to God, to ask Him for guidance or courage by the hour/minute/second, and to lean on Him for understanding.  I'm quick to ask God "why?" I'm quick to search for answers in the Bible and I'm quick to spend time with Him.  When I'm feeling fine, I'm less introspective, I don't cry-out to Him as often, I don't pray by the second/minute/hour, and I don't always lean on Him.  Yep, that's pretty ugly when I think about it.
