ditch the party

hello, my name is matthew and i’ve been thinking...

some kids have all the luck. they get all of the alphabet blocks in preschool. they win all of the tetherball games in grade school. they get the brand new car at their sweet sixteen birthday party. they even marry their high school sweetheart. and then there’s the rest of us: the people who get the leftovers... the point? life is not fair. only God knows why good things seem to happen for some, and not for others. the problem with pity parties, though, is that our perception rarely lines up with our reality. we are taking a step back from our circumstances this month so we can see the greatness that God has planned for our future. don’t miss it!
