Curve balls - good or bad?

Isn't it strange how when you think you have everything figured out, a curve ball is thrown in and you start to question everything? Seriously. Every time I think I've got life figured out and I know what's going on, where we are going and I've got everything under control - something changes. Well, right now it's more than 1 curve ball being thrown at Rob and me. It can be a good thing to wake you and shake you and change where you are headed or it can be a bad thing because it distracts you and takes you back some steps. I'm not sure which it is for us right now, but I'll be praying about it all, that's for sure.
