Good Morning Blog Friends~
I am having one of those ~ "go to meeting with Jesus meetings" on my front porch this morning. Hannah and her Dad have made the journey of 30 hours of driving back to the Evergreen State and have arrived safely. Thank you ~ Lord!
This momma has had a couple of days of crying and stomping my feet. I just want to question God why it has to be so stinkin' far away! We have battled for a couple of days now.
I am so thankful that Hannah was home for the Holidays and we just celebrated her birthday before she left. Six months went by way too fast. Please continue to pray for Jacob and his safe return.
Do you ever just get discouraged? I have been having myself a pity party the past couple of days. I hate pity parties~they are so pathetic. I have been whining to God that this too hard. I miss my girls and I miss Boston and now Miss Olivia Hannah too! (Please pray for her safe arrival~ coming soon!)
At times like this I need to encourage myself in the Scriptures~ even if I would rather stomp and throw myself a fit. Like that is going to get me anywhere but with a big fat headache.
Romans 15:4 - For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
After all~ I am proud to have two sons-in-love who serve their country and are brave and courageous men. Would I really want anything other than that for my girls? Of course not~ so today I am soaking up my tears and putting an end to this pity party!
Ok well~ It may take a few more verses. :)
Would you like a dose of encouragement too?
