I will Praise Him in the Storm!!!!!!!!!

O.K., so life has not been so easy the last few months and the saga continues, but God is the pilot so he's in control, not me....(I AM NOT GOD!) I have to remind myself this after being a member of the (I AM NOT GOD SUPPORT GROUP) I have had a range of emotions ..that I will not go into, but right now I am just thankful! No , things aren't perfect or even fixed by any means, but I know this is a growing process and as the saying goes...NO PAIN, NO GAIN...this is also true with your walk with Christ. You can go along for years thinking I've given everything...I Love God, I serve God, I teach, I teach my children about God, but God says Do you really Love ME? Will you love me when things get hard? When you don't understand? When your heart is broke? When I let your children fall? Well, God is teaching me new things through this...even though things may get harder. I don't always like them and I can't say that this has been easy at all!!!!!!!!!!!I have a good support group of friends who have been encouraging me and praying for my family. THANK YOU! So, Kali and Charlie have been found safe and She is getting treatment right now. She was gone 11 days this time and I'm over being mad! (which would do me no good anyway) I just keep praying for her and Charlie to make the right good choices daily...it's living for God through the little stuff that make the big stuff easier.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Prov. 3:5-6

As my husband would say (How can we help others if we don't know what they are going through?) I would have chosen to pass on this one, however. Well, I know God is going to use this for good sometime...

We also had a visit from Roland's family today...they were on their way to the mountains. It went very well and we had a nice visit. I did miss going to Disciple Now with my youth at church because of all the stuff going on over the weekend, but I hear they had a great time. I'm excitied for them and I can't wait to see the changes they will make in their lives because of a renewed commitment to the Lord.

A new week tomorrow.....with new challenges ahead....but It's all good! God's ways are not my ways. (this is a good thing!)
