Our God is GREATER!

I am broken.  I am hurting.  I am confused. 
You know that feeling you get in your stomach when something isn't right, or something bad is going to happen? Yea, I have that.  I have since yesterday when I was basically told our family will not be a whole unit for a very long time.  I can not even begin to describe they way that came down on me. Similar to standing in the middle of a hurricane and at the same moment the ground begins to shake violently.  There is nothing to hold on to, nothing to save you.

WAIT!

There is something to hold on to!  God is still here, he hasn't abanded me.  This song is exactly where I am standing.  I am holding on to the one and only Rock, my solid foundation.  God is stronger than the circumstances that are surrounding us.  Nothing is "final" until court, Sep 13th. (And even that isn't really final, it is just what we have to follow until the next court day.) The judge has his own mind and can look at all the information to make his decisions.  I am praying that the Lord will open his eyes and he can see the truth.  That truth, is that we are imperfect people who have made mistakes.  BUT, we very much love ALL of our children and want the best for them.  We are willing to walk through the fire to have our family whole again.  As Christians, we are not guaranteed an easy, carefree life. We were promised that we will not have to go through it alone.  He will carry us through it.  We may be left with some pretty deep wounds, but He is the ultimate Healer.  You see, this is not our forever home and this is not a forever situation. However, it looks like I need to train for a Marathon.  I will remember, while I learn endurance, to be joyful in all situations, and to always give HIM the glory.


He is my Healer
He is my Refuge
He is my Strength
He is my Comforter
He is my Firm Foundation
He is my Savior

He is Everything I need, right now, and forever.
