I tried to call tonight, but missed you.<br /><br />So my friend, there is something about the way you face the challenges. You inspire me, in your raw authentic honesty. Your knowledge of your need of God, your cry from within you for healing to your pain, the way you through yourself at the word and the cross, the true friend that you are.... I was thinking about the sadness you felt, before you had your precious bundles...God was refining you then prior to taking you overseas, and now.... again. I can only know that much beauty is going to come from this season, but also know that does not make even one day easier for you.... isn't it great that in our weakness He IS strong?! (I would quote the verse but RuthAnn beat me to it!) I miss you my dear, dear friend - and please know, that while you feel alone, you are not - you are surrounded by arms of love in the spirit who are all around you. Your mentor is coming, I just know she is! (Remember how God brought Sylvia, just when you needed her most?) We serve a faithful God!Vukanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506388888397918500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931262184527389508.post-84054440220080643102011-02-16T17:15:42.722-08:002011-02-16T17:15:42.722-08:00Hey Bethany- Andy once wrote a journal before we w...Hey Bethany- Andy once wrote a journal before we were married and gave it to me after we were... it was quite cool... I think he's due for another one.<br /> <br />So much good and so much bad can come from the same three years... but it couldn't have happened any other way. God will use these trials and fires to refine you. <br />We've just ended a chapter in our Bible Study about circumstances, suffering, our response to them, and so on- so applicable. <br />I think you should get your hands on One Thousand Gifts if you can, as well "Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free". (as if you weren't already reading good stuff!!)<br />We love you and hope we can be with you sometime soon. <br />2 Cor. 12:9- not removing his thorn, Paul was reminded "My grace is sufficient, in your weakness I am strongest."RuthAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135405584945210583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931262184527389508.post-29630655950573252412011-02-16T00:54:53.955-08:002011-02-16T00:54:53.955-08:00Hey Bethany,

Your continued effort to keep your life focused on God right where you are-- is a strong reminder to me to keep leaning on the Lord for my source of strength and wisdom. And to remember not to rely on the things of this world to satisfy. Thanks and keep writing, your awesome way with words in a constant inspiration.<br />~ChristinaChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920705864563850801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931262184527389508.post-33770904883490317982011-02-14T19:38:29.542-08:002011-02-14T19:38:29.542-08:00we're here for you, aunti B. the P Famille lov...we're here for you, aunti B. the P Famille loves you. <br /><br /><br />wv:bedbatMr. Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08021241425587080245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931262184527389508.post-57716091035944695942011-02-14T15:06:25.802-08:002011-02-14T15:06:25.802-08:00*hugs*

And then, one day, there she was. Yours is out there, too.<br /><br />BTW - in a small way, you've been a mentor to me and you still are. Thank you :)Emiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685950401310560518noreply@blogger.com
