A Certain Peace

Day Four:
I was reading in Psalm 67 and the first few verses really touched my heart.
Psalm 67:1-5
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among the nations. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for your rule your people justly and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you.

How perfect for me to read this while you are so far away, Bri. I am praying that God will use you to do exactly this. "...that Your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among the nations!" It gives me chills to think of how many people do not even know the name of Jesus. I thank God that He has called you to Africa to be this light for Him.

Day four has been fast. We met friends at the pool, which was when you called and it was so hard to hear you. (I hope that you are having the BEST nights sleep right now!) Then it was home to get things ready for Angel to come tom. Stacy brought dinner, which was SO sweet and SO yummy! (...I wonder what you are eating?) Tonight was busy with chores but easy with the girls. Maddie looked up magic tricks on the compt and then gave me a demonstration, which was really good! And Ally and Hunter played SO well tonight. It amazes me, the way Ally is with Hunter. She knows exactly what to do to make Hunter smile, to make her do what Mommy said, to make her stop crying...I just sit and watch them in action and smile.

The girls and I think about you all the time and I remind them to pray for you for a specific thing every day, today of course was that you are able to sleep. We MISS you and can't wait for you to be HERE but we are actually doing pretty well, no major meltdowns, no big probs....just a certain peace as we wait for you to come home.

I can't wait for you to call again; I love hearing your voice.As always, missing you and loving you...forever and always.
