Coming Home Again

My daughter is coming home. Its part of her journey that the Lord has taken her through these past few years. We too have watched her on this journey and has taken us then also on a journey of growth in our own walk with the Lord.We were her prayer sojourners with her. We pleaded with the Lord daily to help and be her defense these past years. He was and is. We continue to stand on His promises and we are such grateful parents for a daughter who has endured much hardship on her lifes journey in the Lord. Though some of the valleys were deep, the Lord went before her and showed His faithfulness in her life always. Though many times we also walked with her through those valleys, we were beyond that valley looking back and saying" come on" you can make it through, the Lord goes with you.Time and time again we are amazed at our Good and Gracious God, how He walks us through the valleys and it really is that there is where we grow, we are stretched by faith and strengthened in faith as we see Gods hand in it all.
Coming Home Again, is just a resting place for now, hopefully full of encourgement and growth as well, and some strengthening of trust for all her needs and ours too. We welcome her home, you can go home again always. That is just the grace of God.....and when we are almost to our heavenly home, it will be perfect and stable and we will never move again! Earthly life is constant change and movement but heaven is immovable, we will be in the presence of the Saviour who is immutable, a strong tower, the Rock of our salvation! Thank you Lord for my daughters heart towards you, continue to grace her with your ways and the knowledge of you, may she grow strong in You and be pleasing to You, in her life and with her life. May she joy in you and enjoy the works of Your hands!
My prayer is for her growth in You alone, that she speak the truth in love and live her life totally dedicated to you, in whatever you have come her way on her journey. May we help and love her as You have called us to do, and help us to be encourging, loving and supportive always. This our hope, in You alone, hers and ours....You alone deserve all glory and honor in our lives above all else. May we continue to be a family who lifts up You highly and that we esteem each other above self always. Thank you for the changes in our journies, Thank your for Your faithfulness in our walks, Thank you for trials that you helped us endure, Thank you for Your refiners fire that works so tremendously in our hearts. You are indeed a great and Mighty God.
Coming Home.... Welcome Home to our sweet daughter who has always encourged us with the things that she endured herself by Your grace Lord and we thank you for her testimony and may she remember always what You have done in her and always live that out with gratefulness of heart. Thank You Lord for her forgiving heart, and thank You Lord for giving her that. Thank you for ours too Lord. Thank you for healing us these past few years. It was a most gracious mending time and you have patched us all up and though scars still sometimes appear, the pain is gone and we are a grateful people for what you do to show us each day how to forgive and live as You would have us live.
Though this blog did not start out as a prayer it became one because I remembered Your faithfulness to me and my family. I am a most grateful mother to You Lord for answering my prayers these past few years. I cried out to You and You heard my cry! You answered in Your time, in Your ways, according to Your will and I thank you that I have learned that even more through her life,
welcome home sweet daughter! we love you !
