Paths

Yesterday was an "at home" day.  I made 4 spiders.  

Today I took Brady to GRC in Auburn, picked up Tamara, and went to Women's Bible Study.  Then in reverse afterwards.  

Riley and I went to Red Canoe to open an account, return Amazon items at Kohls and got Chick-fil-A.  

I chose this meme because one of the ladies at my table is going through marital difficulties.  It's messy.  So much pain.  In my minds eye, I saw the heat and pressure in the earth to form a diamond.  Good can come out of bad.  But it may not be the "good" you thought it should be.  I then saw a large cut diamond.  Expensive rare diamonds are placed in places of honor such as a ring or crown.  No matter what, from pressure and pain can come a "diamond" because God is faithful. 

Riley, like Paul in the bible, expressed to me how valuable the pressure and pain can be because it changes and forms a person.  Honestly, I am not excited about trials, or grief, or goodbyes.  Paul says to count these things all joy.  But it's hard.  It's hard to watch my friend cry.  However, I know the outcome will be alright no matter how it turns out.
