We had an amazing devotion this morning and discussion about what the Lords will and what the Lord getting us through this means. Our daily devotional brought us
Psalm 121 I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, The Maker of heaven and earth, He will not let your foot slip-he who watches over you will not slumber;indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you-the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
A friend texted me Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Today we continued to check things off of our to do list. Then we enjoyed a delicious lunch with Kim's family. After enjoying most of the afternoon with them. We came back home for most of us to take a small nap until Joel's sisters came to enjoy dinner with us. It was good to enjoy a little laughter and fellowship with them.
Our devotional we have been using includes a small prayer to say, I think it will be all of our prayers tonight.
Father, I know you love me. Help me Feel it. Give me peaceful sleep tonight because you give me your Spirit to confirm to my spirit that I'm yours. Help my pillow to be trust my cover to be the warmth of your love.
Please pray for us to carry the Lords strength with us tomorrow as we try to conquer a large to do list before we leave to Texas. Pray for our safe travels. Pray for Joel's stength on our trip. Pray for us to have clear minds in the Friday appointments and for our understanding of what they will tell us about Joel. Pray our choices will be in Gods will for the situation. Pray for the protection of Jillian and Elizabeth and our nanny!
May God give you the rest and peace needed in the days ahead. We are sending our thoughts and prayers your way as you head out tomorrow. With lots of love to you all!

Joel, Kim and family, I woke up at 4am this morning and you were my first thought and prayer. As your family walks thru this trial I have to remind myself that God did not cause this, but that He will use those things meant for harm to His glory. Your website is a already a testimony to that. Thank you Kindra for this gift. I believe in miracles!
