I am so easily pushed over by even the smallest rock in my path. Then comes anger, pounding its ugly fist through my heart, wrecking all my commitments to peach and faithfulness. Sometimes I wonder if I'm growing. I am still determined to overcome - not simply get by. As Peter would say though, after suffering for a little while, Christ himself will restore you and make you whole. Thank God for mercy.
On another note, I am so extremely distraught over these beautiful pearls that have been entrusted to us. At first I wasn't sure I could really love them, and just when my heart decided it would be empty without them, they are leaving. I could withstand any grief, however, if I only KNEW they would be safe. In one situation, they feel abandoned by the people who are supposed to be there for them no matter what, in the other, they are exposed to so many dangers. I'm so glad this choice is not up to us, I can only pray, pray, pray. God, keep your hand of love over them!
