Okay God, you have my FULL attention...

Three-and-a-half years waiting to bring a child home has a way of bringing a person to his knees as you realize it is totally in God's hands, and you have NO control. And when your husband, the sole wage earner in your home loses his job, once again, you start to think that God REALLY wants your attention. And then, when you're driving home from Bible Classes, and hit a parked car trying to avoid a cat in the road, there should be no doubt that GOD HAS YOUR FULL AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION!!

I was alone in the van and wasn't hurt in any way shape or form, so we're thakful for that, very thankful. I'm also fully aware that God doesn't give us more than we handle, but, I could really use a break right now! PLEASE, God??

Just when you think you can't handle anything else, you have to muster up the courage to go on...and YOU WILL!!!

I'm giving you a really big hug right now. I am so sorry.

Father God, I pray you will keep this family in your grasp and do what you've promised to your faithful servants and provide for them. This leg of their journey is hard. They know they will pass through the fire and have a stronger testimoney to share because of it, Lord. Please give them peace and understanding. I pray you will provide Cap with the job you have planned for him and he will represent you well in that job.

We pray for H3 to come home and to come home soon. His family is waiting and wanting to raise him to know You.

Amen
