God has brought you so far. Though I wish like everything that your family didn’t have to go through this trial, yet God “meant it for good.”
“As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” (Deut. 33:25).
Every day, the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He Whose Name is Counselor and Power;
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.
Thanks, Barbara. Actually I noticed that I feel a lot less emotion about it this year. It’s more “yep that’s how long it’s been”

I remember that post, I remember reading it a year ago. It seems like it couldn’t have been that long ago, but I’m sure that’s not how it feels to you. I wish I could sit down and chat with you, a long tearful conversation. There are so many questions. I’m sure you’re tired of questions. Especially questions without answers….
God knows. Keep clinging to that. God knows all the answers. It doesn’t really matter what the rest of us know.
I’m praying that someone has hugged you today. That you know you are loved. I pray that this trial comes to an end very soon. Until then, continue to hupomeno (Gk- to abide in, to endure bravely and trustfully, Hebrews 12:2,3,& 7; James 1:12 & 5:11). Your witness is extending far and wide. God is glorified in your testimony. You remain in my prayers continually.
In Him Who is able to Sustain you until the end,
With much love,
Angel
Thank you, Angel. Your comment made me teary eyed. My friend Joy was here through today and she gave me a hug.
Thank you for your encouragement and the verses.

I cannot imagine the loneliness in being apart for three years. I’ll pray tonight that James goes to bed happily, content and confident in your love, and that you slip into sleep easily, content and confident in God’s care.
Thank you, Chel.

Gosh.. has it really been that long already? I’m sorry Lizzy.
I pray you hear the news you are longing for soon.
Yes it has been! Thanks for your prayers.

No words, just many hugs from afar.
Thank you for your hugs.
