Continued storms

Just when I begin to hope that the wind will die down a bit and the storm will begin to clear, it seems to pick up and increase in intensity. I am sitting here listening to the song on my blog, "Bring the Rain." The Lord definitely has brought rain to our lives...we are being sustained, but these days have been the hardest of my life.

Adding to the grief of losing my grandmother, we got word tonight that Dave's grandmother (married to Dave's grandfather who passed away in December, right after Alivia) was diagnosed with lung cancer today. She was just recovering from surgery to remove cancer from her bladder, so it looks like it has spread. My heart is so very heavy tonight. My mind is racing with thoughts, fears, unknowns, etc. It's in these moments that I know I need truth...desperately. So, I am telling myself: "Yes, God is good. Yes, He is sovereign. Yes, He is in control of ALL things...and His ways and timing are perfect. Yes, He is the one orchestrating all these events, for our good and for His glory." If these be true, and I believe they are, than Jesus bring the rain. I trust He will continue to sustain me. May He be glorified through our lives and through these trials, as hard as they may be.

How I long for the day when, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore..." Rev. 21:4
