I think it was James Mc Donald who said that as a Christian you can be sure that you are either in the middle, at the end or right before the next trial... not always huge ones, but something is always going on, he explained that our Father in Heaven is about refining us and he is committed to do that until the day He takes us home....
stomach flu in the house is probably not helping, and so I am not concerned... just tired...
why does a Mother have to be the one to be called "unfair" and "mean"... not kidding.. I am sure next to God I do love my daughter the most. I am the one that thinks about, prays for her and invests herself most, so that she will grow up to be a healthy adult who will be able to engage in a meaningful journey...
I am tired... just on Saturday I was telling this wonderful group of volunteers that they can be sure that the enemy is going to try to make them miserable and that we, my partner and I have had quite the share of this in the last 12 months... we are entering into a battle .. and he doesn't like that... the great news is that this battle was won on a Sunday morning almost 2000 years ago, when the tomb was empty ...
this does not mean that it is not real for us and that we have actual things that are going to be hard... but ultimately we are on the winning side... the victory has been won... my teenager is going to turn out okay, even if it will take many more of my hairs to turn grey.. in this situation He too is going to be victorious, He has claimed her as His own, and He won't let her go....
so, a little time off from turmoil for me, maybe???
I would really appreciate it.... please????? relying on Him to give me the strength to go on, what else can one do? at least He is where He promised to be, right here with me.... Praise God!!!
