I haven't posted in awhile because...well, when you've had a couple of weeks like we have, the last thing you really want to do is blog.
Life has been tough, I'm not going to lie. We've had to rely on strength that only comes from God. All of this craziness from this summer has come to it's mountaintop in the past week when we've realized we really don't have much, except our faith in God and the support of our wonderful parents and a few friends we rely on to keep us sane. After a summer of questions, I feel like we have even more questions...and uncertainty. There's so much to be done in the next couple of weeks...and it all has to happen in the next couple of weeks. Anxious and stressed doesn't even begin to describe the feelings I go through just about every day.
We are okay. Our marriage has never been stronger, and I praise Him for that. This present trouble is so stressful, but the way we have been able to rely on each other encourages me so much. Not sure where I'd be without Raul right now...scares me to think. And though times are hard and stressful, I know He will bring us through on the other side.
Please keep us in your prayers. I know this situation, this time is only temporary. And if I'm being honest, sometimes that's what keeps me pushing through. But I've been so encouraged by music lately. The other day, a really tough one that kinda started my "downward spiral", I was in the car waiting on Raul while he was in a meeting, and a song came on K-Love that just caused my tears to flow even more. And I can't remember what song it was....that drives me nuts. But instead of that song, this song is what kept coming to mind after that...
Then there's this song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOOFAaUGfRE&feature=related
So after writing all of that, and thinking more about what we're going through...we have so much to be thankful for. Times are tough, yes, but God is so, so good. We've been in the states for almost 2 years now, and He has not let us down in our time of need. And I know He won't know. We serve such a faithful God.
