We have had year upon year of difficulty in our little family and for the past month I have desperately needed peace and refreshment. I feel like Jesus is slowly leading me to a place of comfort that I need.
Isaiah 42:3
" A bruised reed He will not crush, a smoldering wick He will not snuff out. In faithfulness He will bring forth justice."
I've been clinging to this. I really have. The babe had a three day hospital visit nearly two weeks ago. That verse sustained me. We've been through a lot but God has never forsaken us. We are in a vulnerable place right now and we need rest. Does that mean that nothing bad will happen to us?...no. It means that God will not crush us or leave us without hope. If anything, He sustains and we put all our hope on Him.
God has also been renewing our life here in this city. After a long period of living spiritually dormant, God led us to a new church with new fellowship that has blossomed all around us. We feel such joy to see God actively working in our lives! New ministry opportunities have come up as well and we are so grateful that we can now pour our hearts into a church as a family.
I can't write much this afternoon, but I wanted to update all of my sweet friends following this little blog. The boys are growing more and more each day. They are curious about God and the world He has created. I am working hard to help them understand their place in it. Teaching a child to worship and serve God is a great privilege, one that I do not take lightly. I am so thankful for God's grace to me in that area because consistency is so very hard.
More updates to come...
