It has become quite obvious that these trials are meant to bring us closer to God. This is been a frustrating difficult month for both of us. Last night Kym said she thought the situation was hopeless. I have never lost hope along the way. I believe that God is working in our favor. He is working in us, for us, and on behalf of us.

It is well with my soul – Mahalia Jackson
I am reminded of the insurmountable odds faced by people like Job, David , even Jesus. Through it all they had the hope and faith that saw them through the worst of times and the worst of times created the best of times. Being mere mortal man they had their failures, oh when the time came to step up to the plate, they knew that God would never leave them or beseech them to turn his back on them.
I am reading a book called “Empty”. Which says basically that we must empty our minds and our souls so that God can fill them with the Holy Spirit. I truly believe this is so. Many, many times during the day , since I read that book, I have said to myself and prayed to God, ‘Empty me, Lord so I may be filled by you.’ Now is not the time to get up . Now is the time to put on the armor of God once again, move forward and discover for ourselves the plan that He has for all of us .
I worry quite a bit about Kym . She seems to be growing more and more depressed, and more and more hopeless, and more and more like a zombie every day. When things are looking up during the week she seem to be better . But since you get the latest news about her temporary disability she completely went down the tubes, depressed, seemingly hopeless, not responsive to what God has for her. Lord please bring her back from the belly of the whale, from the Lions den, and even from the cross so she maybe filled with your spirit your hope and your love. We will see through this. Thank you precious God for all you do for us.
