• Jun. 19, 2008 - Haven't Been Here in A Long Time

It has been so long since I have posted here. A lot has been happening in our lives and much of it has not been OUR idea of how our life should  or would look. I last posted in January, and on Feb. 5 our daughter ran away. I'll let that sink in because it took a long time for it to sink in for us. A lot of suffering, anguish, anger, questions, sadness. Now, the beginning of healing. I had thought many times that I would write about this on here but I always thought, those people don't want to hear about the bends in the road. They want to hear uplifting things. When you are trying to raise your kids for the Lord and do everything you know and seeking the Lord daily, you don't want to hear that someone that is doing the same thing has a daughter who just gets tired of it all and runs away with another home school boy! I am sure I will share more later but just so you know, they are married now, eloped. They are back in the town we live nearby, where we go to church. They are coming to church and want a relationship with us. There is a lot to mend, a lot to overcome, and pray about. In at least one way, the Lord has revealed to me an answer to prayer through this that didn't even have anything to do with our daughter. We have our other 8 children and four grandchildren that are hurting as much as we are and in different ways to understand and adjust. We ask your prayers during this bend in the road. God is still God and He knew this would happen and Romans 8:28 becomes so real!
