I saw this recently and figured that you would be able to relate. As you go through the ups and downs in the coming couple of months and then as you continue to go through ups and downs when you come home, just know that we are praying for you that God would be your anchor.
Below is a favorite song by Ellie Holcomb called Anchor of Hope
Marvelous, wonderful, infinite God
Author of all that is good
Faithful provider and giver of life
Source of all power and love
Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise
Refuge of strength to the end
Righteous redeemer and mighty to save
He's the anchor of hope for the souls of men
Gracious, compassionate, merciful God
Radiant, holy delight
Beautiful Father, victorious son
Source of unchangeable light
Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise
Refuge of strength to the end
Righteous redeemer and mighty to save
He's the anchor of hope for the souls of men
You are light in the dark
You are healing for the broken heart
You are hope, You are Lord
You are life, You are love that endures
Powerful, constant, unwavering God
Shepherd who comes for the lost
Rock of salvation, remarkable love
Savior who died on the cross
Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise
Refuge of strength to the end
Righteous redeemer and mighty to save
He's the anchor of hope for the souls, oh
He's the anchor of hope for the souls, oh
He's the anchor of hope for the souls of men

He's the anchor of hope for the souls of men
email from Elizabeth:
ReplyDeleteBill and I discussed this last night. It seems pretty spot on. We have discussed this concept with our missionary friends here but have not seen it in pictoral form. I imagine this is going to play out quite accurately and I want to start praying for July and maybe August slump back home… There are indeed things that I am not ready to leave here. And realities at home that I am not looking forward to.
Thanks for caring about us so much.
