I keep saying it and I believe it: you ARE being prepared for greatness. This current trouble is not the end result... Your blog yesterday was awesome--I admire your faith. But take heart in the fact that it is GRACE that's the foundation so if your faith falters, it's ok! That's why it's Easter--grace will bring that faith back (it already has...).
I love this Caedmon's Call song--so honest:
Sometimes I believe all the lies So I can do the things I should despise And every day I am swayed By whatever is on my mind
I hear it all depends on my faith So I'm feeling precarious The only problem I have with these mysteries Is they're so mysterious
And like a consumer I've been thinking If I could just get a bit more More than my 15 minutes of faith, Then I'd be secure
MY FAITH IS LIKE SHIFTING SAND CHANGED BY EVERY WAVE MY FAITH IS LIKE SHIFTING SAND SO I STAND ON GRACE
I've begged you for some proof For my Thomas eyes to see A slithering staff, a leperous hand And lions resting lazily
A glimpse of your back-side glory And this soaked altar going ablaze But you know I've seen so much I explained it away
MY FAITH IS LIKE SHIFTING SAND CHANGED BY EVERY WAVE MY FAITH IS LIKE SHIFTING SAND SO I STAND ON GRACE
Waters rose as my doubts reigned My sand-castle faith, it slipped away Found myself standing on your grace It'd been there all the time
MY FAITH IS LIKE SHIFTING SAND CHANGED BY EVERY WAVE MY FAITH IS LIKE SHIFTING SAND SO I STAND ON GRACE
summer-even though we aren't bff's (at least not yet) i found myself in tears as i read your very short blog. i am yelling at God for you today...He is big enough to take it i know. i know this wave of sympathy and empathy i feel is nothing compared to your present sufferings but i wanted to tell you that we are lifting you and josh up and pleading with God on your behalf. much love in Christ...
My Summer, I will continue to pray for you! Caronline's comment was great! I know that this is just a trial and not the end. I will happen and you guys will have grown only stronger from this experience. We love you both!
What an awesome song! My faith does waver like shifting sand but He is ALWAYS there to catch me whenever I fall. Praise God for his grace. He loves us and will see us all through this. I love you. MOM
Summer, We love you so very much and are praying for you and Josh, that God will give you the strength to get through this and the courage to be able to look ahead and know that God is preparing you for something so wonderful and amazing! You are a beautiful woman and I just know that God has something so incredible planned for you and for Josh!
