Hi, I'm back.
What a weekend. I left Saturday morning to attend my Uncles' funeral. I then drove my other Uncle home 2 and a half hours away. I took my three girls with me and we stayed until Tuesday morning. The weekend was kind of ruined by some news we got Monday morning. We were actually waiting for the news all weekend. It wan not what we expected and was devastating to my middle daughter. I know our trust needs to be in God. It is hard when you have to trust people and their wills are involved and they let you down and you just have to accept it. God is the ONLY faithful one. Even your best friends can let you down because they are not perfect. Now we are picking up the pieces of broken promises and asking God to rebuild. It looks impossible right now but, God can start over and rebuild our lives better than ever. It looks like we will be in the valley forever, but I know God will put us back on the mountain and restore our joy. And meanwhile we are taking valuable lessons away from this. Asking God to show us what we all need to learn, because our whole family was affected by broken promises. We will turn to God fully because He knows everything, more than we do that is for sure. He sees our tears and will restore all things. I can see that it could have been alot worse andI thank God for that. We need His healing in our family so bitterness and unforgiveness do not get a foothold. We only want God's will in our lives. We don't want second best. He has a wonderful plan for my childrens' lives and I know that......So....I'll praise You in this storm, cus You are who You are no matter where I am..and every tear I've cried, You hold in Your hand...............and as the thunder rolls, I lift my hands and praise the God who gives, and takes away.
