Our family has been in a state of blessing and crisis over the past year. This is about the time that our estrangement...separation began and yet I sense and know that God has His hand on the situation. We have been encouraged by the prayers and support of so many and yet this year has brought about heartache, sorrow and despite that, the love is still evident. Maybe, like the Miami Heat tonight in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, we just need to keep playing...holding out hope, praying with conviction and trusting in the Plan of our Creator. Our son-in-law said it last week..."we just can't quit." We look to a brighter day, a family restored, lives transformed and an embrace of reconciliation. I pray for that moment, in Jesus' name.

I am wondering how to reach this young generation with the truth of Jesus Christ?
I know that God has this under control, but sometimes my words and actions get in the way...for that I ask His forgiveness. There are many who think, like me, that we are acting in the best interest of our kids, but I am beginning to wonder if choosing fewer words might be a more effective approach. Spending more time on my knees, in prayer and in the Word is the only hope I have. God, please help me to lead this house...as for me and mine...will we serve only You? That is what I desire to do. Take my life, my heart, my all.

God's righteousness, His glory, the wonder...the answer,
the truth? Just what are we looking for? This is the time
for asking the questions...are we ready to meet Jesus?
His presence will change you for all time...through all
seasons...through love, through heartbreak, in struggles
and in rejoicing. In loss and in gain. In the great season
of searching and believing and wondering and staying hopeful.
Here we are...together from a distance and still together.
Thankful to know you...glad we got to talk, glad we could
connect.
