Well, it seems that my recent post will continue to a serve as a reminder to me. We got more news and you can read it for yourselves here. We are encouraged that the country has not CLOSED..but honestly, I am struggling in my faith. I am struggling to understand how this is good for us or Micah. I sympathize with the disciples when they said, “Lord, help my unbelief.”
Trevis continues to be just amazing and unwavering in his love and gentleness towards me. He is not used to having a teary wife. Of course, he is totally used to me being overly dramatic and sassy -but not teary. However, we both have a peace that passes all understanding. We still have joy and are able to see the blessings that we have. The children pray for Micah every chance they get and I pray that God will use this time to grow their faith as well.
All of that to say..keep praying for us.

I just had those same thoughts today about wondering how this could be good for us or our little guys. But if it causes me to cling to Jesus for more, and to have a deeper, more amazing fellowship with Him, and for others to be drawn to Him, then here we go!
I’ve been teary too, and full of jitters inside. I actually worked today (my one day a month), so that got my mind off things a little bit, except when nearly EVERY patient asked me about our children…
God bless you, dear Rebecca. I am praying.

I, too, am struggling with these thoughts. I am holding tight to Him, so I won’t drown in my tears. This is a spiritual battle. Praying for you and yours!

Oh Bec, I sure wish I could give you a big hug right now and a coke icee of course. I’m praying that God will bring Micah home soon. Let me know if there’s any specific way I can pray.

Oh Miss Rebecca—Hang in there! In the words of my big sister Angela, the Lord only gives you what you can handle…..although he sure can take you right to the edge sometimes! So hang in there and remember, you may be at the edge, but He is holding your hand:) Love you and praying for all of y’all!

Oh my, we haven’t heard anything in a few weeks, so it’s crazy to see it as that official.
We’re in waiting mode too. And this is hard because our I-171H is supposed to be hitting the Embassy right about now.
Lord, I ask that You will work out the timing so it is perfect for all of our families. Protect our little ones and help us find peace and comfort in You. Amen.

How odd to see myself quoted in your Blog……of course Emily is the designated “talker” in our family!
Seriously, I just want to let you know that we are praying for you and precious baby Micah.

Girl, I’m so sorry. This is real grief. I’m praying. And I’ll keep praying.

I totally understand! I am learning to walk through my days with a strange union of peace in God’s will, timing, love, etc. as well as a burden of saddness and grief. Lately, I’m feeling what a heavy burden it is. We will all keeping praying for our precious little ones.
