After nine hours in the car, I'm so glad to be home sweet home. This has been a bittersweet day for me. While my time with Wade and Liliana was joyful and precious, the weight of a very heavy heart has burdened me.
This morning I learned that my dear friend's battle with cancer has intensified. My heart aches for her, and I have not been able to get her struggle off my mind. Our families are very close, and it saddens me to see them experience such pain. I'd take this affliction upon myself, if I could. All I can do is lift her up to the Great Healer and ask Him to care for her.
Thankfully, God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them. In times like this, I find comfort in the following passages...
God stands fast as your rock, steadfast as your safeguard, sleepless as your watcher, valiant as your champion. ~Charles Spurgeon
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-33
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34: 18
I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and my song. Isaiah 12:2
Please pray for Kate, her husband and their three beautiful boys. May God bless you, Ramona
