"nos" and "waits" seemed to be the norm. I can only say that this is a lesson that I think we will learn over and over in life. God has created us to yearn to be with and worship Him and though we have the Holy Spirit we still yearn to be face to face ... to sit at His feet ... but the answer is not now, just wait. So I guess we have to look at the things we long for here on this Earth and realize the smallness of them in comparison to eternity with God ... at His feet ... face to face. Suddenly the 30lbs I LONG to loose doesn't really matter.

I picked this place and it's grand and hard and so ugly and so beautiful, all at the same time and I chose YOU and that crazy man of yours and your tribe so you must STAY. Because it doesn't get any more beautiful than it is right now, but your heart will blossom and YOU will be more beautiful for staying.<br />So I stay. And I wait. And I trust that God is who He says He is.<br />'Cuz He loves me.<br />This I know.Lori Harrishttp://loriharris.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123680677230787991.post-57939723872878160412013-06-18T21:11:16.034-05:002013-06-18T21:11:16.034-05:00Ahh, Tamara.

My "want" is nothing near what you must have felt like wanting your sweet girl and my few years are nothing compared to your wait. How worth it to have your beautiful family complete.

I had it all figured out for years and it just never seemed to work. Finally, 15 years later, the Lord brought it to pass. I wish I was more faithful in the wait! Still working on that one.<br />Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853092576960083884noreply@blogger.com
