Faith

I have not posted on my blog for a week now because I am tired and also feeling discouraged.  I see so many other people who feel the same way that I am feeling.  We are feeling that there is a lot of injustice that is going on in America.  This week has been hard to find the news that a certain individual has done wrong in this country and is getting away with their crimes where my husband and others are sitting in a cold jail cell for doing nothing but standing up for their freedoms and rights. 

Tomorrow is my husbands and mine seventeenth wedding anniversary.  My heart is feeling broken that I will not be able to spend it with my sweetheart.  I also have two kids birthdays that are coming up in the next week.  It just seems harder and harder to celebrate without my husband and our dad home.  I am constantly praying for strength and direction.  I wish there was news to report on my husbands case but for now there is none.

Every Sunday after we say family prayer with my husband over the phone we then sing him a song.  This Sunday I was trying to think of a song to sing him.  I was thinking of a patriotic song but nothing really came to mind.  So instead my sister suggested, "Come, Come, Ye Saints."  It was the perfect song.  Many of us in the room got emotional.  Dave cried and tried to sing the words, "All is well, all is well."  Dave is trying to be strong and trying his best to have a good attitude.  After hearing this song again today I know without a doubt that God will not forsake us.  I know we must keep pressing forward and having faith in God.  It is Satan's plan for us to become very doubtful and discouraged but we must not let him win.  We must continue to pray and someday soon we will all sing, "All is well, all is well."
