I Don't Think I Can Do This

This life.

Watching him.
 Lose his quality of life?


Watching her.
 Leave for good.
To start a new life.

 Wondering about her.
 Not knowing where she is.

But I will persevere because
this is what the Lord has asked of us.
Obedience.
Faithfulness.
Trust.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding; 
 in all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make your paths straight.
Proverb 3:5-6

  3. Oh, I needed this. We are saying goodbye to some foster kiddos, and I too am feeling like I can't do this. Praying for you!

  4. Oh friend. Thankful for your heart and your perseverance. God is pleased with your faithfulness. I was reading this morning in Exodus when the Israelites were sinking in fear. God instructed Moses to tell the Israelites to "move forward." There was a lot of unknown ahead of them. The Red Sea in front and an impending Egyptian army behind. But, they moved forward. Praying for faith to move today for you guys.
