Did you know...

So, I haven't posted in a long while. Josh is working late tonight, so I thought I would give it a go, to at least have more than one post a month.

The last two weeks have been pretty frustrating for me. It has been a while since I have felt like this. King David went thru it, so did Elijah...it is called Missionary Burn-out. But wait - you might say - You just stay home with the girls and take care of the house... While that is true, I am also tied to and one with a man (a really good looking one too!) who is working in the missionary world. Being as we are one, we both get hit with it. Kind of like Pollyanna - but I am not ready to go there yet.

Josh and I are reading thru 1st Samuel the last chapter. In this part of the book, David went to fight WITH the Philistines against Israel - but the other kings didn't trust him, so he was sent back home. When he gets there, everything is burned...and the families they left behind aren't there. David's men turn on him...but David (finally) turns TO God...and "encourages himself in the Lord."

So it is my turn.

Did you all know I have been to Bible school? God did that.
Did you know I lived in Texas? God told my Dad "It will be okay."
Did you know I lived in Louisiana? God did that.
Did you know I went to Israel TWICE? God did that - fulfilling an unspoken dream.
Did you know I married my best friend? God did that.
Did you know I have two BEAUTIFUL little girls? Yep, God did that too.
Did you know that Jesus died on the cross? God did that.
Did you know that Jesus loves me? God did that?
Did you know that before I was born, God knew me? God did that.
Did you know that God said we would have troubles...BUT He would still be with us?
Did you know that God said He would never leave us or forsake us?

You smellin' what I'm steppin' in?
