Yesterday afternoon was so great for me. My girls for the first time were getting along
and we were all having a blast together. I will miss them so much when they leave tomorrow. God showed me this verse this week which has helped me get through. I have never felt so close to God as I have felt this week. God is so amazing and I am so glad to be able to call him Father.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieveing for us an eternal glory tat far ourweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but wat is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but wat is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4: 16-18
This verse really spoke to me this week. No matter what I am going through God is using that situation to mold me and shape me. Also even though life can be difficult if we are following Gods calling then we will be blessed someday in eternity. Sometimes I want immediate results but I am learning that God doesnt always give us immediate results and sometimes it is a slow process. But the point is God has called me here for the summer for a reason and I need to trust that.
I was able to see God work in my group yesterday and I have learned to cling to those moments and remember those when I am down. My one girl who has some learning disabilities has been really hard to deal with, but yesterday for the first time she hugged me and she participated in the singing. It was small but it touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I saw God in that moment and he showed me that even though I am exhausted and being stretched he is still working.
Thanks for the prayers everyone. They are being felt everyday. God has brought me so much joy and patience this week. It is amazing to watch him work!!
I am excited for a nice relaxing weekend though.
Happy 4th of July Weekend Everyone!!!
Crying and rejoicing with you....can't wait to see ya...Lu
