Hope
Well I did not have any intentions of posting anytime soon but this morning I was in such despair and my heart was hurting more than it seemed I could bare, and I decided to look at our blog and re-read our encouraging comments, never did I expect there to be more and what encouragement I would recieve...While reading Sis. Heather's comment and then Sis.Sherill's the realization sank in I have HOPE, hope our baby will come home, hope he will have food, hope he will have shelter, hope he will know the love of his Daddy and Mama...HOPE what a beautiful word today HOPE!!!!!!! I have been talking to Michael over these past several days and I would tell him that I did not understand why God did not just take Crimsyn to live with him, I know to some that may sound hard but to me it would mean safety and love, the thought of Crimsyn being hungry, dirty, cold, etc seemed more than my heart could take,but Michael would tell me he could not feel that way, that he was just going to hope, HOPE, yes we can hope...Thank you soo much for your encouragement , it amazes me how God uses his children to help one another...

Well I thought through all of this I would not comment. Not because we don't love y'all, because WE DO!!! Only because I have never been where you are and wouldn't want to pretend that I had. I felt as though I could not have the right words as others have. As I sit here with tears in my eyes over the comments of Sis Heather and Sis Sherrill, I realize that maybe I could just say WE LOVE Y'ALL!!!! We are definitely praying for baby Crimsyn and your family. We serve a BIG GOD!!!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say we love you guys. We wanted you to know we are praying for baby Crimsyn. Everytime he crosses my mind and I pray for him it seems I am reminded of how the Lord took care of precious Resiana. How he provided food when there wasn't any and when she had no toys he provided baby birds to play with. We serve such an amazing God. When the Lord seen that it was time for Resiana to have a home, he provided her one and a chance to know about Holiness. I believe the Lord will take care of Crimsyn just like he did Resiana. He loves children. Hope is a wonderful thing!!!!
ReplyDeleteHis ways are as high above ours as the heavens are above the earth. . .without hope there can be no joy. . .and I believe you will have joy again.
ReplyDeleteFAITH - When your heart sees the light ahead when your eyes can see nothing but darkness.
ReplyDeleteFaith is HARD - it seems SO much easier to dwell in the now, what if, why, etc........over the last 3 years as long as I could focus on FAITH, it seemed that opened the door for God to prove HIS faithfulness and power even when all I could see was swirling clouds of darkness and confusion.
We LOVE you guys so much............rainbows do come after the storms. That sounds so trite and simple right now, but when I hold my sweet, unexpected miracle Ellie Kate, the Lord reminds me that HE does have a plan. And like Mom said, HIS plan is SO much greater than we could ever imagine.
Praying for your rainbow - in whatever form HE sees fit.......
FAITH is the substance of things HOPED for. I heard Aaron preach one night about that substance. He talked about getting a hold of anything that has substance that will build the faith you need. He said if you are down praying and you feel the peace of God, that is that substance the Lord is trying to give you. Maybe, the Lord will give you a dream, realize that is the substance from the Lord. Maybe, the Word of God comes and you feel it is to you and the Lord is encouraging you in some way to hold on, the answer is right around the corner, that is the substance the Lord is giving you to build your faith for the things you are praying and Hoping for. He said a lot of times we don't get a hold of what the Lord is doing because sometimes it is so simple we just look right over it but there is simplicity in Christ and most of the time he works in a simple way.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to encourage you to hold on to everything God sends you. Build on it, and look for the things you are hoping for. Love you!
I felt just like Lacey did!! We are praying for you all and we Love you!!
ReplyDeleteI dreamt of you last night. You walked in to a church and started a song. Slick was right behind you and you had a beautiful baby boy in your arms. He looked to be 3 or 4 months old. You do have hope and we all have faith that God has a plan beyond our understanding. And in our weakest moments He will pick us up and carry us awhile.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
