I loved seeing you walk through your thought process in this situation. Praying 2 Tim. 1:7 for you.

Like you, that's when I do my most stinking thinking. <br /><br />I love how you brought this around to what you know to be TRUE about our God and his promises. I was just reading from Charles Spurgeon the other day, and he said something quite similar about remembering them. <br /><br />I believe you said it even better than he did. If you knew how much I love Spurgeon, you would know how well spoken I think your words to be. <br /><br />It's nice being back in Blog Land with time to catch up. Your gift of expression never ceases to amaze me.Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362990873629422919.post-13306717189421967722013-01-04T21:25:44.956-05:002013-01-04T21:25:44.956-05:00Oh, dear Gaby, I am so sorry to hear about the los...Oh, dear Gaby, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your best friend Sara...you did the best thing by lamenting to God, going to Him with your questions, grief and letting Him comfort you...what a courageous and Psalm like David thing to do...all we can do is what you did and remind ourselves of what is true, which you did...Thank you...Hugs, my friend.soulstopsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362990873629422919.post-33175134084632761082013-01-03T21:27:38.534-05:002013-01-03T21:27:38.534-05:00Well said, Gaby.

One time a friend shared an aha moment about fear...that the only fear that was acceptable was the fear of the Lord. And yet you point out well that God is kind to us and that He has said many times...do not fear...He understands that we are but human. That we do fear and reminds us to trust Him. And May you have a peaceful trip with your husband.Kathleen Jaegerhttp://www.kathink.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362990873629422919.post-45211687566364892832013-01-02T20:05:36.272-05:002013-01-02T20:05:36.272-05:00Yikes, Gaby!

It's pretty hard to trust our children to God under normal circumstances, but when we have already lost someone we love to irrational evil, well...God bless you girl. What you say is all true, and the words come from somewhere in you that knows it.

This is something I think every parent fears. It has crossed my mind often because things are just so bad in the world around us and they are not getting better. I also struggle with this as we are always in prayer about if God will have us move to another country as missionaries again. Sometimes it helps to look over my life as a child and see how God protected me and my family and how when things were hard he was always there. I still don´t understand and there are still times I fear but there is also comfort.rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362990873629422919.post-60513905703931405022012-12-29T13:43:37.934-05:002012-12-29T13:43:37.934-05:00i know this fear. this lack of trust. this middle ...i know this fear. this lack of trust. this middle of the night stinking thinking....and i'm hanging on just like you. thanks for such an honest post, gabby....Kendal Privettenoreply@blogger.com
