For Mom, Dad and Sis!
I received a letter from Smiles yesterday. Inside were notes for me and my husband and her "big sis" Hope and even a coloring page for the boys. She talked about her stay and the friends she has made, what she was looking forward to when she came home and how much she missed us all. It filled my heart to read her words written warmly for each of us. But here is the encouraging part for Mom and Dad and Sister, at the bottom of each note she wrote out God's promises for her. All those Sunday school lessons and discipleship classes and her Christian upbringing at home, have given her the strongest possible tool in this process, FAITH. By her own words, she told me in just her first week there, she was amazed at how much her faith has grown. She knows whenever those moments of despair overcome her, HIS Word will overcome it.
While nothing can make this feel any better, breathe deep and know that GOD has not left her and she has not left HIM. Be confident that the God who began a work in her, will carrying it on to completion. Do not lose the vision and trust the process, God is in control. Greater is He who is in her, than anything that is in this world. She is teaching us how to do this "thing", by claiming His Word. You do the same.
Do not Fear, she is surrounded by angels,The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,and he delivers them.Taste and see that the LORD is good;blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.Fear the LORD, you his saints,for those who fear him lack nothing.
Psalm 34:7-9
Even when she cries, she knows she can find refuge in him,God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.Psalm 46:1
The victory is already hers!
If God is with her, nothing can stand against her.
Romans 8:28-31
No matter what you see, hear or uncover, nothing is too big for our GOD!
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
We all love you and will continue to pray...remember
