I messed up

I feel bad. If we would have passed court, I would have for sure put a verse on here. One that said, praise the Lord, or God is good, or He answered our prayers! Instead I complained. I have to remember that this isn't about me. It's not about getting what I want. It's about God being glorified. I wasn't a very good example for my boys either. Being disappointed is okay. Being grouchy b/c I didn't get what I want, isn't okay. God is God. He's always good.

Psalm 64:3 "Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you."

Please don't be too hard on yourself. Emotions are real & God understands. Continuing to pray...

I agree with the above comment. Don't be too hard on yourself. You are on a roller coaster and need to allow yourself to "grieve" at times. We are praying so much for you all and hope you get some better news on Monday. Love you!

My heart goes out to your family. Don't let yourself get down. When you feel like giving up, remember why you have held on for so long in the first place.

Thanks for the reminder for all of us....you're so right...it is easy to praise God when things go well, but much more of a offering to praise Him when life isn't very much fun. We'll keep praying for you!
love you,
Kirk & Lisa

I can only imagine the roller coaster you are on. I get anxious about you getting good news. Teaching us patience!
