it's a sure thing all bets are off

It's cloudy out today, and most of the trees have not grown back their hair from a leukemia winter. Better Than Ezra is filtering out most of the sounds of the coffee shop, but I can still hear the steam wand spitting angrily. My first question is, who's Ezra? and why are you guys so much better than him?

My sure thing, a job in Cali to pay for a trip to Turkey, is off. They decided to only hire in-state this year. Mistakes happen right? I mean obviously God didn't realize how much I wanted to go on this trip, or how beneficial it would have been for our relationship. Sigh.

The truth is, I'm here. I'm right where I should be. I'm slowly being surrounded by amazing people, people that have the fire of God in their eyes. God is methodically adjusting my vision, and I'm like a camera lens in His hands. He slowly adjusts the focus, pans back, and throws the depth of field into focus. I thought I was the only flower in His field, I was the center of attention, the most beautiful rose. Now He shows me the beauty of The Others, and the diversity in His garden is astounding. I always thought I had the strength within myself to withstand the wind, but He shows me my mangled stem, and the stakes of His love holding me up.

The truth is, I'm happy.

Cheers.
