What a beautiful story, and clearly your dad-in-law's prayers have been answered. :)<br /><br />LOVE the verse mapping, too. "when we are stressed to the max; when we are at our lowest; when we can’t find the words; when we may only be able to just ask for help, or maybe not even able to think of words and prayers at all; when only cries may escape our lips; when sentences cannot be formed; when we feel like we might not make it anymore; when we just don’t know what to do but sit at the Lord’s feet and cry" ... awesome reminders!

When I don't I feel frustrated and stressed, that something is missing and I need to focus and spend some part of the day with God. I am making imperfect progress but progress just the same.

When I wake up, I remind myself that "This is the day that the Lord has made I'll be glad and rejoice in it", I feel grateful to God for every Sunrise and Sunset I see, for being able to live and experience his holy presence in every moment of my life.<br /><br />God is here! He is, and He always will be ;)<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br /><br />Olga<br /><br />olgatodd.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670295845665289491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325473286622498058.post-24014963738422298132013-05-31T14:30:20.542-04:002013-05-31T14:30:20.542-04:00Well done.

We all should consider how blessed we are if we have family, a job, a home, and food to eat. I so agree with that. We just have to work on not worry over our "blessings". We are all aiming to be more like Jesus.<br />Love and prayers,<br />B.

Day 3...From the girls' devotion this morning... Day 365 (sniff, sniff) from VeggieTales 365 Day Starter Devos for Girls... "Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to wait. This is especially true when we're in a hurry and when we want things to happen now, if not sooner! But God's plan does not always happen in the way that we would like or at the time of our own choosing. Still, God always knows best." Thanks for sharing this today because today is one of those uncertain days and and there are more questions than answers and I must realize that my faith as you said must rest in the power of God.

I think that I am guilty of thinking things like, "But that is such a little thing. Why should I bother God with it?" Then I try to take care of it myself. I sometimes don't stop to think that God cares about EVERYTHING in my life- even what may seem small to me. I just need to remember to call on him.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196135946636558061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325473286622498058.post-34447643138088446292013-05-23T19:21:08.433-04:002013-05-23T19:21:08.433-04:00I have a fear of tornadoes and I live in Southwest...I have a fear of tornadoes and I live in Southwest VA where we rarely get any. The devastation you see on TV is heartbreaking but you are so right. God is bigger and everything works for the good of those who fear him (Romans 8:8) Thank you for this wonderful post and wonderful reminder to me today. We don't have all the answers and this is why we are dependent on our Holy God who does. I am taking away what you said, "His light can shine through the cracks of every tragedy." That is full of so much truth. Love it!
