Remembering Us
The past 3 years has been a difficult time (as God forewarned us before we moved to Houston) from the challenges of working with family and going through the loss of a child. There have been times, especially after the loss of Peter, that we felt like things were just taking a natural course and God wasn't actively intervening in our life.
I was reading through 1 Samuel 1:15-20 and following verses stood out to me:
1 Sam 1:19-20 (NIV) Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her. So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the LORD for him."
I've been praying that God will remember us in the midst of our struggles of going through the loss of child, possibly having another child, the struggles of the business, my parents coming to know God, and the Word we felt God give us before we moved to Houston of it not being easy, but that there would be blessing in it.
