6 Days...

Well, we all know what God did in six days in Genesis, so I'm hopeful for what he's going to do in the next six days for me and a certain lovely woman I miss so much. I'm not sure if I'm going to post like a countdown over the next 6 days or not, I just know that I have more of an urge to write now. Today was rough. Thoughts just popped in my head today about giving up and just letting it whither away. I found myself wondering if she doesn't show...how would that effect my faith, considering I obeyed God to deliver the letter to begin with. Its become a mental battle that is getting harder to deal with as the 24th grows closer.

I find myself wondering the opposite too...not about her not showing up, but when my wife does show up. How can I show her love? I don't think she truly understands how much she's been prayed for and cared about over the past 8 months now. She has no real idea how much I've changed. All I want to do is love her and care for her now. Its just a huge change. I just want her to know...

Usually this is the point in the blog where I write that nevertheless I'm hopeful and I'm believing, and while I am all these things, it doesn't fit. I'm truly nervous... I'm fighting to keep hope....fighting to keep believing in what the Lord has shown me. Six more days to go...

God's grace will be with you...no matter what happens, Derek. Seek His face and don't turn away from looking into it!

I was reading in Zephaniah this morning and I thought of you when I read:

"The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing." - Zephaniah 3:17 AMP

He is Mighty to Save. Thank you for the encouragement. I've needed it the past couple days.
