Are these not the most beautiful girls you have ever seen?!? That is truly what I see when I see these two girls. They hold my heart. There is not one moment of one day that I do not love them. Even when there are words flying around our house that should never be said, even when they make me so crazy I want to pull out my hair, I love them more than anything.
I believe that God allows us to go through times of pain and frustration so that he can grow us into His image. We had a guest speaker at our church this weekend and he spoke of going through the desert and of growing pains. Both are part of our Christian walk and both are very painful and sometimes make us feel like we have been abandoned, but that is NEVER the case.
God never walks away from us. There are times when we step away, but never God. He will never leave or forsake us! What a true gift.
I believe that Satan attacks those who are a threat to his plan. So that gives me great hope when my children/family goes through tough times. That means Satan sees us as a threat. God steps in and grows us through it all.
I will trust Him in the storms that He allows in our lives. I know that He works all things together for good for those who love Him... and we love Him!!
