"Nothing, absolutely nothing- brings greater peace in the midst of suffering than to know that you're where God would have you to be...... Just to know that you are in His will brings peace and the ability to continue to do what he has called you to do. Without that knowledge, there's either a confusion that can immobilize you or a harried scurrying about as you try to do more than God ever intended for you to do."During this first half of summer we've had some trying times.
-Just the other day a group was at one of our children's homes when a mother was stopping in to sign paper. Thinking his mother was there to pick him up the boy was so happy. Moments later his American that he was partnered with was left trying to console the little guy.
-Recently my Great Aunt Francis died. She was 101 years old. Finding out about relatives passing is even harder with the distance from family. Makes us realize how much we miss our loved ones.
-Sicknesses took its toll on not just us but our community. Some serious and some not so much.
-Greg and I have had tons of first recently. Some have gone smoothly, others not so much.
All of these have seemed easier knowing that we are where God has called us to. We know we will have trying times. Not just now but more to come however we find rest knowing we serve the Prince of Peace.
