Hello to all my wonderufl friends. I just wanted to let all know we have decided to take some time and get away from the house. We haven't had any action. I am suffering serious depression at the thought of losing the dream of the farm. We will be leaving to camp in Orlando in the morning. Disney is our main intinerrary, while our passes are still good. However we are considering a train museum on Evan's BDay. We will have internet access while we are away, but I am unsure how much I will be wanting to be here. However, I will at least try to get on and let all know how I am doing.
Today I actually wished I could take the Christmas stuff down and go back to bed until the new year. I would appreciate your prayers for me and my family. While I am suffering outwardly teh most, my heart breaks everynight when Evan asks God to help us get to a farm. God Bless all...and have a great weekend!
Leslie <><

I'm so sorry! I know God has something planned for you...which I'm sure you've heard before and I'm sure it didn't help anymore then. Sometimes it is difficult to move forward when we cannot see the master plan...someone once said it was like looking at the back side of a sewing project. A jumble of threads that at times seems to be developing a pattern and at times seems to be just a tangled mess. But on the reverse side is a beautiful, intricate masterpiece that is God's finished plan for our life. Here is a brief study in Psalm 23 that I really enjoy, and I remember it when I feel things aren't going MY way. I often need a reminder that My way does not always lead to green pastures and still waters.

I know I'm late in responding to this but just wanted to tell you that I am thinking about you & remembering you in my prayers. In my junior or senior year of highschool I wrote this in the back of my Bible: "There will be times when the will of God will not be abundantly clear. During these occassions we are expected to retain our faith & wait on the Lord. Even when divine providence seems senseless and contradictory ... the future belongs to God. He has not forgotten us and His plans has not been thwarted. It is our responsibility ... to remain faithful and obedient awaiting His reassurance. Joy comes from knowing God loves me, knows who I am and where I am going ... that my future is secure as I rest in Him." (all of these were written by Dr. James Dobson, btw.)
As hard as it is & believe me, I can only imagine how difficult everything must be on you right now ... it seems like lately I keep hearing the Holy Spirit remind my heart that, "His thoughts and plans are higher and better than even our own," ....
I know it doesn't make life easier but it does make my life more peaceful. ; )
Hang in there, my friend. ; )
I'm praying for you!!! = D

In His Precious Love,
Leslie
