I'm sure that they both now have a certain peace about their relationship.

I truly ...Thank you, Joy, for giving me joy today. I truly do "know" God answers prayer. I could have a blog on just that, and I probably should. Our children are so corrupted by false teachings these days, that they have become selfish and unforgiving over the slightest offense -- that wasn't even meant as an offense. It is "all about them". Both our girls are Christians, and I tell God all the time that I would rather have THAT than anything else in the whole world. Too bad being a Christian doesn't make us perfect and able to get along with one another.<br />I appreciate your comment so much!<br />Hugs, JoyJoyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390642536034678604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290267670853809795.post-74978063970014806962012-03-05T11:52:03.266-08:002012-03-05T11:52:03.266-08:00I'm crying now, too. Wow .. what a faithful c...I'm crying now, too. Wow .. what a faithful child of God you are. He works in such marvelous and mysterious ways. Most of we believers who've endured years of valleys of deep pain and mountains of joy (which is the definition of life), *know* now the power of prayer. <br /><br />And we also *know* guys are just so different from us, especially those of his generation. Your acceptance of him is so important, for he is a good man, and you know it. He needs to know how proud you are of him, no matter what. I know .. patience and considering first what we want to say in these times is THE hardest thing, isn't it?<br /><br />We're all such imperfect beings, as designed .. quirky, selfishly focused, trying to control everything and everyone else, disconnected or avoiding our emotions at times, especially men. It can make them feel too uncomfortably vulnerable and weak (in THEIR minds).<br /><br />Take heart, dear lady .. dry your tears .. you did beautifully... you kept praying. You have total proof that it was never up to you, even with all the longing and urging in your dear heart and on your lips .. but your prayers are so powerful. It was time, growing up and maybe finally self-reflection on her part and your prayers.<br /><br />And now the door is finally open, praise the Lord!<br /><br />Watch this:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj-RJ4k9c04&feature=youtu.be<br /><br />Thank God, you've received a glorious present today.<br /><br />I'll be thinking of you. My prayers for your<br />affirmation of faith and the wisdom to accept the outcome and what's shared with you. <br /><br />Rest easy .. SOMEone else is in charge it seems<br /> .. ;) Now you know you just have to pray, and whether you get the answer you want or not .. or when you want it .. He is always there.<br /><br />That's giving ME great comfort. Thank you for<br />sharing your sweet, loving heart.<br /><br />~ Joy ~<br /><br />PS Are you going back the CCI (Crotch Curve Iniative) ??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
