new beginnings

Well, we have had a huge adjustment period in our lives over the past 6 months...I've spoken of them many times in my past posts...they have all been big to us...and some very difficult.

But God...I love those words...don't you! But God, in His wisdom can see the whole picture...He knows we will struggle but He wants to be the one to hold our hands along the journey...Our girl has been in Florida now for almost 5 months...I knew when she went and took my sweet grandbabies that is was no doubt...God's call...and although I can't say there have been no tears...His tender mercies have been so very sweet...I'm trying to think of another word but today...for this day...tender is all I can think of to describe Him.

I have written many times this summer about our struggles...and while Cassie moving has been very, very difficult...knowing it is Gods call...somehow makes it bearable...something you know in your heart...just has to happen...and life will be good...but the difficulties have been very different in my heart than what people have thought...when godly people do ungodly things...life is very hard...we have been a season of dispair and grief...for the body of Christ...But God...there those words are again...in His (again) tender mercies loved us enough to forgive us and carry us through...

And now new beginnings...Our girl is doing great in Florida and she will start opening her home for a ladies bible study tomorrow night!!! We miss her and her family terribly and I think we always will...as parents arn't we suppose too!!! but to watch God work in her life...is so amazing...We have watched Him work in all four of our children's lives especially this summer...

But at the body...HE and only HE has brought us a sheperd...a man, I believe to be a man after God's own heart...and a wife that stands beside him in service for our King. With great anticipation we wait for YOU LORD...may we prove ourselves worthy of the call...

If you haven't experienced anything like this before...meet Jesus...He is THE way THE truth and THE life...
