Thank you. This is a hard truth for me right now. We are dealing every second with the “not fair.” Our 3 1/2 month old went to be with Jesus in September. And on top of the grief we are now dealing with all the fallout that our other 3 are facing. I need to be reminded that God is who he says he is, no matter how I feel, or what is going on in my house. I need the faith to say, “Your will be done.” So thanks for the reminder today.

Mandi,

Thanks so much for sharing that…it really is amazing how God takes the time to reveal Himself so plainly, isn’t it?

We are praying for the upcoming test for your family….and we can’t wait to walk beside you through it

Also…
your thoughts and convictions are so piercing to my heart, as I too am convicted of the inconsistency, impatience, and lack of gentleness…i would even go as far to say speaking to my children through my tone, words, and actions that i despise them.

I will pray for you and your children’s restoration. I will pray for you as the enemy must see you as a mighty threat as you love your family, and prick and encourage so many of us out here.

Before I read this yesterday, my husband looked in my eyes (I have been sinfully anxious and ultimately not trusting God, eventhough He has revealed himself to us time and time again regarding my husband’s very soon deployment)…

and reminded me of God calling Abraham and he believed and it was credited to him as righteousness. My husband locked his eyes with mine (both sets now teary) and encouraged me as he reminded of Abraham’s relationship with the Lord and his personal circumstances, and reminded me to trust in God.

I love how He just blessed me with His word, the same word. Twice. He knew I needed it. He is so faithful, even when I am sinful and faithless!!!

Thanks for the thoughts Kelly. There is a lot in here. I have no problem abhoring sin..in/of others…mine, well, I have a lot of excuses.

Amen, Kelly.

We must all be humbled before the Lord so that He can lift us up in His strength.

Believing God means that we agree that we were designed to need Him, that we can do nothing apart from Him and regardless of impossible-seeming circumstances, we trust that His plan is forever good.

Then, and only then, can we withstand the assault of our enemy.

We wives/mothers need to all strive on our knees to be warriors who cheerfully serve and ceaselessly pray.

Your family is in my prayers
