Stripping layers off is hard isn't it. Its like we all have this overbearing wieght of dead skin clinging to our bodies and we get comfortable with it, even though its heavy. And sometimes we get forced to strip a layer off. And natruly it hurts a little bit. . . but after a while it feels good to get rid of that weight, but we are still comfortable with all the extra weight that we have, and it becomes hard, again, to strip off those extra layers. I guess this is an obvious story to all of you and everybody has a good idea of what this story says, but that doesn't make it any less true. I've been reading a plethora of blogs and I am realizing that people are stripping off their layers, some are doing it voluntarily, some are being forced to do it. Whatever the case may be, I have been encouraged. I feel like I am stripping off layers everyday, its hard to go from place to place and settle in and have everything be good. Within a year Erin and I have moved from Sioux Center to Florida to Southern California (Not many people can say they have done that). And to be blountly honest, it kinda sucks, but it is awesome all at the same time, because a long time ago we told God to run with our lives. We definately have experienced the blessings of that as well, Im not trying to complain, God has blessed us beyond our imaginations. But it still kinda hurts to take off those layers of dead and decaying skin. I guess in all of this what I am trying to say is that I am thankful to God for being so close.
Or whatever
