Is Chaos in Life Normal and Expected?

       Welcome to my blog!  For a woman like myself, almost 62, right brained rather than left, and not used in any way to social networking, this is a BIG step in my life.  Honestly, I will be dependent on  my long suffering sons to help me navigate this new forum.  But I have written a book, and they tell me that I am now required to maintain a social  networking presence.  Why exactly that is, is beyond me, but I do know that God has given me a story to tell, so here goes!  This blog is going to explore on a sometimes daily, sometimes weekly basis, how the reality that GOD IS ENOUGH works out in day to day life.  What do I mean by "God is Enough?"  That is what we will explore together.  I hope we will have great dialogue around that truth, and all the other questions raised by it.
        I have had to learn afresh that God is enough, because my husband, Mike, and I screeched up on retirement age with our house in foreclosure, a resulting bankruptcy, and the very live reality of perhaps having to live in our car...(no small feat since the only car the bankruptcy left us is a Scion XB.)  You can read our story in my book "Is God Enough?...one woman's journey through gain and loss" which is available on Amazon.
       The point is, life is chaotic, restive, painful, exhilarating, tenuous, fraught with misery, riddled with joy, sometimes all in the same day.  How does one deal with this without going nuts, going postal, or succumbing to despair.  How do you make sense out of life hunkered down in your home awaiting the wrath of Hurricane Irene?  How does my co-worker make sense out of life as her husband battles stage 4 cancer?  How does my son make sense out of his life as a single dad, alone with 2 beautiful children who have been abandoned by their mother?  How does the retiree watching the gyrations of the stock market, feeling every downturn like a taser to his heart, make sense of his increasingly meager nest egg?  How does my older son, who has been unemployed for over two years now, and who watches his wife's commission be cut again and again by corporate greed, who never knows if there will be food for dinner for his family that night, how does he make sense of life?
       I invite you to explore these issues with me, to dialogue, and rant.  Let's discover together if there is a God, and if He is enough.
