"Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord, lift your hands toward Him for the life of your children." Lamentations 2:19
I was feeling like I had been on the "happy train" for too long of a period without a trial or test to test me, prune me, grow me. I had this feeling inside that something was coming, an unsettled feeling. We have been through a few blessed tests and trials. Times that changed who I was and grew my relationship with the Lord. I thank God for these times, I am so thankful that He walks beside me and is always there. Lord, I want to press through this time, press ever closer to You. I want to keep my eyes focused on Your promises and not on the "facts" of the world. Even more important Lord, I want this to be a time that my babies will see Your face, feel Your love and peace, watch and wait with hopeful expectation for how You are going to move, and learn to love You with their whole hearts, minds. "All my children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be my children's peace." (Is 54:13)
We have gone through so much with my firstborn "bug". The Lord has taught me so much through her. I know how much He loves her, so much more than I ever could. He healed her three years ago, and I know He has His hand on her now. She is an amazing child and I know He has great plans for her. I am going to stand on my promises that God gave me, and put my faith, hope and trust in Him.
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. (Is 43:2)
