My heart hurts

I have been feeling very sad the last couple of days. I do not want to be apart from my family.

When I think about it, I have tried so hard to love them over the last couple of years. I have done all that I know to do. There has been much rejection, pain and grief. I know that Jesus is our redeemer, and I know that God will do it. My Father loves me and has good plans for me. I have hope.

But, as Jordan gets ready to leave, I am saddened by the fact that once again, I am 1,500 miles away from them.

LORD, please do quickly what You are about to do.

Bring us together, and bring joy to our hearts. Let us rejoice.

Those who sow in tears.
