God is peace. He is peace indeed. Sometimes we cannot understand why things happen or for what intent, but God is sovereign and holy and good. As I think back about last week and having that unfortunate miscarriage, in spite of everything that was happening I had this incredible peace within me. Yes, I was discouraged and very sad because of the hopes we had for this little life that the Lord had created in me. And yet at that moment I just had peace, and today I have peace. He is our trust and our hope. HE is our Rock and our Salvation. I know that it is God alone that makes me feel hopeful about tomorrow.

It is so neat how the Lord goes before us and truly prepares the way for us as He allowed such a sweet time with Matt and Rebekah in OKC...it was such a peaceful and special day we had. I felt like it was a gift from God because He loves us and is so caring and gentle. He hurts when we hurt. And Again, I realize how loved we are by our families and by the body of Christ...the calls and emails and even the flowers, the love that we received from everyone. We are so blessed to have them.

God you are so awesome, SO SO awesome. Thank you so much God. Thank you for Jesus Christ--that He died so that we can truly have life. Lord help us to share this hope that we have and this amazing gift the we have been given. Help us to carry it to the next generation...to the ends of the world. Give us a passion that will truly ignite our hearts. Help us to see that this hope is worth SO much more that anything this world can offer. We have such a great obligation! To share Christ's love and hope to the world. Why can’t we see that? Why are we so blind and self-focused that we don’t see the big picture. Please forgive us God. We are willing vessels Lord to do whatever, wherever, whenever...Here are we, send us!
