God, You are not following. I had ideas and you have fulfilled my needs, you just didn't do it as I had expected.
You see everyone, I asked for prayer about having someone I could connect with. Someone who wants to see my darkest side and in turn show me hers. Well, Thank you.
Joel's father's side of the family I have hardly been around. Especially his cousins. Well the other day I got an email from one of Joel's cousins that I met maybe once! She and I have been encouraging one another(well she has encouraged me and I have tried). ;0) I had not expected God to send someone from states away. I had put limits, I wanted someone here in Texas. Well He certainly is not limited by my expectations.
I am so excited! He provides - I must say, this makes me think that MAYBE, just MAYBE this friendship might be a positive in the midst of all the pain. Though I wish we could have come about it through other means.
I desire your prayers still. Grief is like floating near the beach in the ocean. Waves come when you least expect.

hi Joy,
I'm praying for you today.
I just keep repeating the phrase, "The Lord reigns" over and over in my head.
I was thinking of Jacob and I thought this: he didn't exist, and then he did. God formed him in your womb, and set eternity in his heart (both biblical truths). He is now and forever with the Lord, though one short year ago he did not even exist.
Then I read that quote from Beth Moore: "in the blink of an eye, we'll understand."
press on. endure. you can make it.
