Change is good, God is better!

A while back I attended a womens' conference where one of the speakers spoke on change.  Her message was that as crazy as change may seem, change is good.  It was a great message for me because of what we had been going through as missionaries having to leave living on the field behind us, as a couple not knowing what our future would be as we transitioned back to living in the United States, in our faith trusting God for healing and new direction for ministry.  To say it has been like driving through a tunnel with blindfolds on doesn't even describe the unknowing and uncertainty of where this journey is taking us.
I have battled depression along the way and at times still fall prey to it's sting. Along the way I have lost my joy but I am determined to fight the fight having Christ as my anchor I am able to reach out sometimes only to grasp a small thread of his robe yet I am blessed to know He is always there.
Today as I prayed and read the Scriptures I was encouraged by His Word.  May I share with you that which He spoke to my heart that it may bless yours?

1. Psalm 121:5-8 - "The Lord is  your keeper;   the Lord is your shade at your right hand.  The sun will not
                               strike you by day, nor the moon by night.  The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
                               He shall preserve your soul.  the Lord shall preserve your going out and coming in from
                               this time forth and even forevermore."

2.  Isaiah 40:31 - "They that wait upon the Lord...shall walk and not faint"

3.  Isaiah 25:1, 4 - "O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done
                              wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth...For You have been
                             a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress."

4.  Isaiah 26:3 - "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You."

5.  Isaiah 26:12 - "Lord You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our works in us."

Each day I find joy returning to my soul and peace to my heart for I know my God is in control and has never let me down yet.  Sometimes we just need to walk down the road of Remembrance and praise Him for all He has done along life's journey.

Today, we go to see Angel's neurologist for the results of the EEG tests he had at the end of June. Believing for answers and what we need for his ability to qualify for disability and for an increase in the VA compensation as we wait still believing for his healing.
