Thank you for being so transparent. I am always praying for the day that your brother WILL be HOME! I do miss hearing from him and think of him and pray for him often. I pray for you often as well. I cannot imagine the grief you feel every day. <br /><br />I know I have almost given up on promises that have been made to me by God since November 18, 2001 when I gave my life back to Him, and still waiting for fulfillment.

In a way that ALL will KNOW it was God, and no other way. He will be praised, because He will perform miracles that no one can explain away, but to say it was a miracle. If you get funding for college from Mankind, then where is God? God wants to perform HIS miracles for you, and Shawn and Me. Do not limit Him. This is what He has been dealing with me about lately.

Does He want to play games with you, causing you pain and frustration? Why things happen the way they happen, I cannot answer, but I DO KNOW He has NEVER let me down. Regardless of how things look. Think about Shawn. Do you think he gets discouraged, do you not see what he is facing. YET he follows His leading.

I believe this is one reason God seemingly took everything from you. So that you learn to trust in Him alone. There is NO one else you can trust in except Him. The Lord God, Jehovah is it. Relationships are the hardest time to trust, when, who, what? We want to know NOW. God says "patience" we say "Why?" Andrea all I know is He has NEVER let me down, I have let him down plenty of times, but He NEVER. Life is not easy, but you can rest in Him, He will hold you, protect you and bless you.

Learning that He cares for you,regardless of your current feelings for Him at the moment is a lesson we all must face. God NEVER lets ( I want to emphasize that word: LETS< not makes) you face anything you cannot handle. He carries you,if needed, and if your like me that need is much of the time, He goes before you, He walks with you, He celebrates the goals we have checked off, and He lets us lean on Him in the other times. Never forget: His Light is so much more then the worlds darkness. Andrea you are growing, He is leading, and your following. I celebrate that with you.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632517812723550477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203401678652535192.post-92059093607261446972012-01-23T13:43:45.435-08:002012-01-23T13:43:45.435-08:00This happened in Church yesterday morning.

No one touched it, the A/C Heater vents were no where near that flag, yet it moved. The Holy Spirit was moving in waves throughout that church and we were all praising and worshiping. God was there there is no doubt. My Dad and I talked about the Glory of God moving during the service.

This is easy to tell you, but I have lived it. It is not easy to do, but the sooner you realize this, the sooner God will show you; "Great and mighty things you know not of." He can only lead us, if we let go of the past, and trust in His future. Is it easy? No way.

The trick is learning to ignore all but that ONE> When He speaks to us it is a "still quite whisper", but it is the one voice that sticks out above all others. It is easy to ignore the ONE and listen to the others, because we don't necessarily like what the One is saying. Listening and obeying are "the very best way to show that we believe" (old kids song Mary and I used to teach kids when we led Children's Church years ago) Andrea, your awesome keep listening to that one small voice, and EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT better then you could ever imagine.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632517812723550477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203401678652535192.post-10706830201362195782011-11-25T18:34:00.685-08:002011-11-25T18:34:00.685-08:00Andrea, so glad you know that He speaks to you and...Andrea, so glad you know that He speaks to you and when.

I like you have no idea what story God is weaving through the lives of the broken and suffering! I believe many of us cried out for Him to use us, and He's doing just that, in ways that we never imagined we could be stretched! A word placed on my heart many years ago (1999) is still as fresh and real today as it was then, and I believe you could relate... "You never know when someone is walking in the light of the fire you are in". Be totally consumed, like a log in a fire, He is bringing a multitude of people to Himself through you! Love you guys!

All we can do is pray, and I do know how how useless that makes us feel, at times. In the Psalms David got down, dirty, and honest w/ God. God knows how we feel, but shouting at Him just helps because we are SO hurt and confused. I pray He will give you peace and rest. We don't have to know His plan to have peace, cause He will settle our hearts and minds w/ His perfect peace.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632517812723550477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203401678652535192.post-82044770139285149092011-08-07T16:14:40.051-07:002011-08-07T16:14:40.051-07:00Thank you Andrea, our hope is eternal.Thank you Andrea, our hope is eternal.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632517812723550477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203401678652535192.post-49819045380366719292011-08-07T14:21:45.337-07:002011-08-07T14:21:45.337-07:00Andrea read your "about me", do you stil...Andrea read your "about me", do you still beleve what you said, "even now?". God has tested our faith, honestly I have doubted, but why? Because He did answer the way I would have? My Dad said this morning that this is not over, that God is, even now, putting things together, that will astound us. Can Satan control our faith, our trust in God with simple circumstances? Satan thinks he has won, that it's over, but as usual he is the loser, here.

I know exactly that feeling, I have also felt it, a few times in my life, and yesterday, should I say just now, I to have had my life turned upside down. The reason is the same as yours, Questions, anger, bitterness, confusion, betrayal you name it I felt it. Then I find my "Scripture for the day: in my email in box": 2 Cor. 4:18 "For we do not stare at the things that are seen but the things that are not seen. For the things that are seen are for now, but the things that are not seen are everlasting" Only God knows the unseen. We only see this second, He sees forever. "What Satan meant for Evil, God means for Good." Remember the Angels, that you saw? There are more now. I have seen them in dreams, they will never let harm come. He is becoming stronger and more open to the Holy Spirit. I see rewards coming in your family, like you could never comprehend. God sees those thing we cannot comprehend right now, and He knows what is in our future. I hurt, you hurt, your family hurts. But the pain is only for a minute, the reward will last for ever.
