God gave me this scripture during a week of fasting regarding my place in the Children's Ministry. I felt He was telling me to hold on - it was all going to be ok, and not to give up. Little did I know that less than a week later it would mean even so much more.
On Monday, January 31st, 2011, my dear son, Caleb was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. On Thursday, February 3rd, God reminded me of what He had showed me just a week prior. This is His love note to me . . . .
"I remember it all -oh, how well I remember - the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there's one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope;
God's loyal love couldn't have run out, His merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great Your faithfulness! I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over). He's all I've got left.
God proves to be good to the man who passionatley waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It's a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. It's a good thing when you're young to stick it out through the hard times.
When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions: Wait for HOPE to appear!" Lamentations 3:20-30
Lord, I am waiting for hope and I won't question Your sovereignty. I am believing for a miraculous healing in Caleb. War has been waged on my family by the enemy, but we won't back down. We are on the offensive, with You leading the march. Our heads are held high with our hope safely in Your hands.
