And for now I can say as simple as that. <BR/>I think you are great, I really loved that last paragraph.<BR/>And also,<BR/>thank God you are not a missionary! Id feel sketchy about you and wouldnt come to your house to play games and watch movies and eat with you and say "ecuador!" in a not-nice tone. haha<BR/>no, but really, thank God you are not a missionary. you are much more honest and good this way :)<BR/>and I dont like missionaries....<BR/>what? I never said that. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742841316953990337.post-17223765552489962162008-04-22T06:23:00.000-07:002008-04-22T06:23:00.000-07:00Meg, When you share things like this you become mo...Meg, <BR/>When you share things like this you become more real to them. Unbelievers are more affected by how much we trust God in the tragedies of our lives than when things are beautiful and easy. People see the great pain of your loss. They also see that you still love, trust and have faith in God. This makes you an amazing missionary. When we tell others things will be great if only they live for Jesus we are being untruthful. God wants us to trust Him in all areas of our life, even in our most heart wrenching timesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742841316953990337.post-12095516157763384172008-04-20T19:57:00.000-07:002008-04-20T19:57:00.000-07:00I need to tell you about my dream too. and you, yo...I need to tell you about my dream too. and you, you are a missionary of the best kind, the kind that shows love of the deepest kind. I believe that the tears we have and do shed are captured. And I don't understand why it had to happen, I only know on that heart-wrenching day a part of my heart was cut away. I too miss my grandson, so much. thank you for sharing and giving me the courage to open up a little bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742841316953990337.post-76925146854482308532008-04-20T11:40:00.000-07:002008-04-20T11:40:00.000-07:00This was a really beautiful post. Thank you so mu...This was a really beautiful post. Thank you so much for being willing to share so much.<BR/> <BR/>Andrew and I just finished "The Horse and His Boy" by Lewis (in the Narnia series), and the emphasis of that book was this whole post, especially your final statements about being convinced by your own story, and about how God shows up. If you guys have not already read it, I think you would love it. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for driving those messages home for me today. I guess church came to me through you today even though we skipped it this morning.Marianne Elixirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394688588187240026noreply@blogger.com
