“Year of Hell”

As my birthday approaches this week, the one title that comes to mind is the one used for the last two “Star Trek:Voyager” episodes: “Year of  Hell.” Many battles, many worries, much stress and the overwhelming recognition that there is truly good and evil that surround us. As I said goodbye to one part of my life, I followed God into another part, and I’ve begun to realize when we give up that which is considered “lucrative” in the eyes of the world, choosing instead to become a servant, we find joy and satisfaction in what we do. God turns struggle into survival and stress into peace. He knows what’s best for us, because He knows our hearts. May we always follow the road He points out to us. Goodbye “Year of Hell.” I’ve learned a lot from your darkness.
