I'm not looking back.

Right now is one of the best times of the day. The kids are in bed, the house is picked up (somewhat) and right now Tony just happens to be asleep in Austin's bed. Total peace. It's nice just to take a breath and know that the hard work of the day lies behind me. I was reading today in Hebrews 10. It was talking about how Abraham on God's command picked up and left in search of the promised land. He lived in tents with his family and existed as a foreigner. He left his home, maybe his parents, friends, and all that was familier. The cool thing about this story recap is that he never once looked back. He never thought about what he might be losing. He just had an immense amount of faith that what God had in store for him was that much better. Later God commanded him to kill his son Issac, the promised son that would make Abraham "Father Abraham" and bear him nations. Now did Abraham plead with God not to take his only son? No! He just assumed that well, God made me this promise that Issac would carry on my name, so, God must be planning on bringing him back from the dead. What faith! How I pray that my faith would grow to know with every possible part of my being that God has something that much better for me and that He will keep His promises to me. I love it! I love it that God is huge and amazing and so beyond words and understanding. In that I can find comfort and peace. Even when my day seems to be so tiresome and wearing, or frustrating or if I am hurting; God's promises are eternal and this moment that I live in right now will pass. Whew!
