in this season

"For everything there is a season, a right time for every intention under heaven-" Ecclesiastes 3:1



I have to really believe that verse right now, all in all it was a really hard weekend. While it may be a time of rest and a break from work, I have to say that David and I defiantly had a lot of stress from our jobs weighing on us.

Saturday afternoon we found out that our niece, Olivia has cancer on her liver. To say the least it was devastating news to hear. She and her twin sister just turned 2 a couple of weeks ago. (in the photo: David is holding Olivia and i am holding Sophia).


While i have known people with cancer, i can't describe what an emotional pain this is to bear knowing that your family is suffering.

but through my life so far, G-d has shown himself to be awesome even in the direst of circumstances, and when our pain is so great i have the think that in someway i am getting just a glimpse of the pain that he feels for us. it has been so comforting to know that the creator of the universe knows my name, cares who i am, what i do and how i feel.

to sum it up, i am on my knees praying for the comfort of John and Elizabeth as they face this trial in their life, praying that G-d would surround them, dance around them and sing his love over them and their little girls.

In this season, in this time I will praise him, praise him through these trials because he is worthy and holds us in the palm of his hand.
