Great e-mail

 I was just thinking to myself this morning about how I need to spend the time and post something. We have had a couple busy weeks preparing for church camp and then going to camp. We returned last Friday, and I finally have the bags unpacked and all the laundry is done. We had so much fun at camp. The kids and I came home with a deeper connection to God. Anyway, I was trying to decide what to post this morning. I have several devotions in my journal, but none of them seemed fitting at this moment. I decided to check my e-mails before opening this blog, and I came across this e-mail from my mom. It seemed so fitting today, so I decided to paste it on my page. I pray daily for God to lift my burden, but I tend to forget that He uses the burdens to build character, prepare you for the future, and to glorify Himself. This was a great little reminder...

     
Awesome!!  
We complain about the cross we bear
but don't  realize it is preparing us for
the dip in  the road that God can see
and we can't.

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine, after  the rain....

Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God's always ready, to answer your call.....

He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
a word from His lips, can calm every fear...

Your sorrows  may linger, throughout the night,
But  suddenly vanish, dawn's early  light...

The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
to give you His grace, and send you His love....

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

...and you question God -'why me?'..
always look at the bigger picture...
A day without the Lord- Is a day wasted.
