We had some awesome days, some busy days and some downright hard days. We made a decision that was one of the most difficult of our lives. It wasn't the way we would've chosen, but we believe it is the Lord's answer to us at this time. Still, our hearts are broken.
Don't worry ~ all nine of our Treasures are fine, and so are we. We know for certain that God has taken the ashes of our pain and turned it to beauty for His glory. He is sovereign!
Wherever you are, whatever you're faced with, I pray you can seek the Lord and let Him fill you with peace beyond understanding and restore your hope. May this Christmas be ALL about Christ!
But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for he has been good to me.
Psa 13:5-6
I HAVE had times like that. Thankfully, our faith has seen us through, too. But they are still hard and always grateful that God's mercies are NEW EVERY MORNING!! Praising Him for your new day and praying that He will be glorified in your pain. That's sometimes so hard to remember. Thank you for being such a pillar of faith. I respect you so much more than you know! You are a beautiful example of God's love in so many ways and I am proud to call you 'friend'!
