k, what i'm getting so far is basically... "God works all things to the good....". He's doing something in this for sure. i want to share something that happened to us a couple ago....
my son was in spanish class & doing really well.... we were talking about how we'd like the kids to experience how those less fortunate live & basically have like a mission trip for them so they could gain understanding & empathy for ALL. so God led me to a church's website that was about an hr away from us & the first page was all about a big mission trip to mexico. it was exactly what we felt the burden was & the price was right & one of us could go w/ him. the church organizer was all excited & we met w/ him & his pastor who basically dashed what God had for us. he recommended my son instead go to a local youth rally weekend...deciding for us that this is what my son wanted (hello, what about what the parents led of God want?). anyways... we let eldest & our middle son go to appease the leader, knowing that God will deal w/ him for stifling the body of Christ. I kno my kids benefited some way & although such a perfect mission trip thing has never been able to line up again, we kno that there is a whole eternity out there & God will make sure my kids r never in lack. disappointing for sure, but people get 'captured' and carnality runs rampant. we're in a war & Jesus commands us to love & He'll take care of the rest. so I kno this sux rt. now but i just wanna encourage you to fight thru and 'forgive them Father for they kno not waaaaa they do'. if i hear more will let you know. love you you both & amen to healing for the boys xo
