We Believe

🎵 Move the immovable

Break the unbreakable

God we believe

God, we believe for it

From the impossible

We’ll see a miracle 🎵 ❤️

Lyrics from Believe For It by CeCe Winans

Some days it feels as though this wall standing between us and our kids is immovable. Some days it feels unbreakable. Some days it feels like it’s impossible. But we believe. We believe because we know who we believe in: the God of miracles.

Knowing that our kids would have likely come home a year ago if we had not been delayed due to the world’s situation this past year makes the pain of waiting palpable some days.

Some days, when our kids look at us on Skype and just say “I want to go home. I want to be there, with you.” It’s about all we can do just to remind ourselves and them that:

1. We know God is good.

2. We know God is in control.

(And we certainly remind them of other things like how much we love them and how we are closer to being together than we were before.)

So, it stands to reason that if we know both of those things [God being good + in control], then we will be okay. No matter how long we sit here, in our quiet house with empty bedrooms. Waiting. It stands to reason that God is still at work, and He is here through every tear, as we are told repetitively “it should be this month” and never seems to be.

We trust Him. But it is a trust that comes through a season of pain. Of such strong longing that sometimes tears just break through because we want nothing more than to hold them close to us.

Sometimes pain requires you lean into the Lord even more because it reminds you that you were not created to handle this life on your own. For my Lord, I am eternally thankful. I am thankful not only for salvation through Christ, but I am also so thankful for the way He sustains me through life when the seasons are long and weary.

While we are in this season, we will continue to hope, pray, and rely on our Lord to bring the five of us together. We so appreciate your prayers for us to be together as well.❤️
