Prepared?

I struggle to write this post, because my mind is so full of questions from things I've heard over the last few days, I can't even begin to put them into words.
1) I went to Bible study last night, and was faced with a message about following God's call for my life, and getting rid of the distractions. I will admit, this road to follow God's plan for my life the last year has not been without its fair share of distractions. Boys. Stress. You name it, it's happened. The message made me realize that I need to "stop seeking God's will for my life and start seeking God." That quote made me think. I've been making all these grand plans, and have kinda consulted God, but not really. And ever since things got crazy at work in January, my relationship with God has definitely suffered.

2) Pastor Trent told me to watch a video, and it would change my life. I'm telling all my blog readers the same. I have a friend Erinn who has been suffering through infertility. I've had my fair share of bad things happen in my life in the last five years. But I was never as public, and as transparent about them as Erinn and her husband Kevin. Her emails are inspiring and give me hope. She and Kevin are suffering well.
This video that I'm posting below is a view of suffering well, and all the understanding about Jesus that goes along with it. When I was done watching it, I just sat in my chair, and cried out for the Lord to heal this man. He has the faith I want.
Please watch.
