Back iIn The Saddle Again...

Well, 2000 miles and a funeral later we find ourselves back home again. What a week! There is no question that this has been the hardest thing I have been forced to deal with in my life. I keep quoting Scriptures like 1 Cor. 10:13, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."

The funny thing about Scripture, when you memorize them it seems like it is very obscure and wonder what the benefit is in memorizing something you can just look up later. Then tragedy hits and there is God's Word to bring comfort. I am so thankful to have my heavenly Father to lean upon. He gave me my earthly mother. He also knows just how I feel. My words cannot adequately describe the pain that my heart is feeling, but God knows and He comforts. One name for God that we learn in the Old Testament is El Shaddai. God Almighty can comfort us like a mother comforts her child. That is exactly the kind of support that I need right now.

As long as I live I'll miss my mom, but I know that because of El Shaddai, I'll be with her again in heaven. Thanks so much for your prayers!
