Weeping Endures Only For A Night

Psalm 30:5 reminds us that this season of sorrow is temporary because joy is on its way.  It's been a rough last few days to say the least, but dawn has broke.  We are still in much prayer over loved ones and their physical ailments and other situations beyond our grasp of control.  Last night, however, we went to bed rejoicing because someone we love very much received healing.  He still suffers from this inoperable brain tumor, but now he has a personal relationship with his Creator.  If the Lord chooses not to heal him physically we are overjoyed that he can now face death with hope.  A hope that it isn't really death at all.

And, then, I'm going to drop this teaser (as cruel as it may be).  Kimberly, I read your post on Facebook about your struggles to turn off your mind to fall asleep.  Oh. My. Goodness.  My mind was like a runaway racehorse last night as I lay praying and imagining and preparing.  Johnmark attended the association's annual meeting last night in Seagrove.  He came home with some information last night that may open the door to something we've both been praying about.  This opportunity may very well be exactly the answer we've been seeking.  But, I don't want to get ahead of myself.  We are still seeking God's will in this.  We've still got lots of preliminary stuff to go through.  It's something that's been on my heart for a while now and I'm emotional and overwhelmed and excited that, although the door hasn't swung wide open yet, I've at least been allowed a peek inside.  I will share as much as I can as soon as I can, don't worry.  Until then, pray that we are following God's will and not our own and that if He chooses to deny us this that I can handle the disappointment.
