His ways are not necessarily our ways...so I've learned.  It takes much time and much prayer to come to this conclusion.  By "His", I mean God.  Everyone today wants to to it their way.  I guess it's a matter of self recognition and notoriety.  I thought along those lines for many years;  however, all of this brought me to my knees and to total brokenness...all of which I am grateful for and thankful.  God loved me enough to set me apart.  Now I live the life that HE wants me to live.  It has cost me much, however, eternity is a very long time.
