coming out of silence

This has been my longest blogging break. There are many reasons: Shingles, Trip to New York, TB test positive for Levi, Starting his treatment, watching my BFF's kids 2-3 days a week, visiting friends, etc. All of these things have been taking up my time but maybe the biggest reason is for my inward struggle. My thought life is completely dominated by this question:

What is God's will for us? (specifically with Naomi). I struggle between radically living out the gospel and prudence and protection of what God has blessed us with.

I read this blog post today that was recommended by a friend. It summarizes some of my own thoughts. I hope you read it and really think about it.

Hopefully it won't be another month before I write again.
