88 miles an hour
What would you do with 88 miles an hour. I have been pondering this. Would I relive events, would I change things, would I ignore it. Some may say "come on Aaron it's obvious what you would do." To some extent this is true. I would change things, but not necessarily in the way that would make my life easier right now. Instead of going back way way back and changing things I would go back and change one aspect of my life. One thing would be different, I would admit that I needed help. I would partner with people instead of being an Island and not just in Ministry, I'm good at partnering with people there but in life. I would ask for help, I would offer help, I would admit need more. I would not try and be some big totally together person. Thats the thing. I wouldn't relive highschool, or college, I wouldn't do any changing like that I would just be willing to ask. So here's your chance, what would yo do with 88 miles an hour.

Hey Aaron,
Not sure what I would do with 88 miles an hour. All the tough stuff is what has made me who I am today, the person God can use, the person that knows my life is not about me as much as it is about serving others. I would love to be able to tell you that I pray for you every day, but you know my life is crazy hectic, but when you and your family come to mind I go through a huge range of: prayer, sadness, good memories, joy, and back to emptiness and sadness, (not debilitating or worry just sad) I do have a huge amount of faith, when I doubt I look at the times when I have heard from God and refocus on praises (if the praise is only that I have hot water to shower or that I can put on my own socks (a bad back is a bit of a bummer). I am waiting for the finished "loaf of bread" the one you had to beat down because it rose to much, the one that's been kneaded just enough, not too much. Remember, God won't take His eyes off of you as you go through the fire, He is with you, and I have kicked His shins enough in my life to know that He loves me enough and is big enough to handle my tirades.
We are heading into an uncertain time ourselves as the primary bread winner in our house will be out of a job at the end of December. Our family will be growing in faith again, w
Took me a sec to get the 88mph. Call me thick.
I think I'd go back to when I was in elementary school and give myself a little wisdom on what's to come. I wouldn't reveal what's to come, but offer some of the wisdom that might have made the tough times harder.
