A Side Note to my Forever Family and Friends

Take some time to ready 2 Samuel 22:31-37.

This is the transitional and transformational climax of King David's song of praise.  He is defeated, gathers his strength in God and prevails victorious. I feel like this is the aspect of life that we seldom turn but always require.   I love it. 

Holy snapper turtles, it has been a journey.  I know that it appears to many that I have partaken in a silent disappearing act from a certain stage in life. Humbly, I submit to that, but not without stating the following: 

We are all meant for purpose.  I have given my life to Christ.  By doing so, I am in His battle, his plan, his narrative.  It is the most fearful and wonderful thing I have encountered.  Many people say that his is "good for me."  I believe that is Good for everyone.  I know it.

That being said: you, my forever family friends, fill my prayers.  As God stands behind me strong, loving and perfect.  I desire to do so for you.  I am not strong all of the time nor am I by any means perfect, but my goal is to stand behind you with His love.  It many not always be seen, but please trust that it is genuine.  

I love you.

Andy
