Just thought I would share it with you...
Though the fig tree should not blossom
And there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold
And there be no cattle in the stalls,
Yet I will exult in the Lord,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
The Lord is my strength,
And He has made my feet like hinds' feet,
And makes me walk in high places.
Habakkuk 3:17-19
Powerful, isn't it? I want to thank all of you for the lovingkindness you've shown my family. I can't tell you how much that means to me. I spoke to my sister-in-law yesterday and we both agreed that we feel at peace about everything. I believe that it's the small voice of God letting us know that everything is going to be alright...and to TRUST HIM. Well, that's exactly what I'm doing...I'm giving it over to God. God has seen my family through so many trials and tribulations. I know He'll continue to be there for us each and every step of the way.
Thank you for caring and for letting me share what's on my heart. You're the best!

Good morning April--that's a wonderful verse, thanks for sharing. I'm glad you and your SIL are feeling the Lord's peace right now. You have been through so much with the loss of so many of your immediate family members. I'm so sorry for that, but glad the Lord has given you the spirit to continue life in faith and joy.
In regard to your question, I don't know why it doesn't show that your new posts are updating in the sidebars. I do know there's a bit of a lag between posting and when it shows up though. I'll pay attention and see if I can tell when that happens with your update.
Good morning! thanks for stopping by from SITS. I love cookies too, sometimes too much :)
April your family has been through so much! We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep me updated on Mike.
What a wonderful passage. Wow..you have had a lot going on in your life with your family! I will continue to pray for your brother. My dad had skin cancer..it was bad in one area...he is doing great and 3 years free of any! Just a little encouraging "blurb"!
Have a good day!

Beautiful passage of scripture. Such a comforting passage too. We lift you and your family up in prayer at this time. I am so thankful that He has given you such peace already. Blessings....
It is a very comforting passage. Thanks for sharing and reminding everyone to just turn it over to Him. Always makes me feel better when I do that! I am glad you have done that too! Your brother has a wonderful family to turn to!
That verse is so powerful! My prayers are with you and your brother...
When my sister couldn't get pregnant, that was one of the verses that kept her going for eight years of waiting. God is faithful-he may not answer prayer how we ask, but he gives us peace through the journey.
(((Hugs)))...
Such a powerful, lovely verse dear. Please know that my prayers for your family will not stop. I am sorry for all you have endured in your life, you are such a faithful precious blessing. I love you.
Wow, strong stuff indeed! Still praying.
April,
A beautiful scripture passage from the prophet who began questioning God and then ended up resting in Him.
I pray you are able to do the same. I am praying for your brother and for you.
Hugs to you, sweet friend.
I have been praying for your brother and his family April! I am also praying for you! This is a beautiful passage!
That's one of my favorite passages in the Bible. And God has proven it true in my life.
