Daisy's cousin actually sent this to her to send to me...... Unpleasant things continue to happen at my house. Long story short- My daddy freaked out about the DOS warning about traveling to GC, and the agency scared my mama to death last week with all their warnings. They have decided that she can't go. I don't want to go into anymore than that. It devastated me not so much that they're not going, but that they told me today when I was supposed to be getting my baby forever! Enough gloom and doom. Daisy prayed me through it, and I trust God that it's for the best. We are all praying about who should go with us to get AP and help with the boys. We think we know who it is, but we are waiting for God to tell us. Please pray for peace at my house....we need it.
WHEN YOUR HUT'S ON FIRE:
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Everyday he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames,with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?," asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. The Moral of This Story: It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives.... even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

I think I may just SET my hut on fire so there's TWO smoke signals on this little street!!!! =) God sees, and He knows so we'll just wait together on Him to move. We're praying too!
lovealee! Daisy
Wow! AMEN and AMEN!! Good story...good to be reminded that we don't see the big picture. I love you Lou!!
Great post!!! I am praying that you find the peace that you are searching for.
Hard to see through the smoke sometimes...but I know you'll make it through. I am prayin' hard for AP to come home soon!!!
Definitely praying for you to experience God's peace!! Love to you! xoxo
I love that story...very good lesson! Praying that you get great news soon!
Awesome story! I have learned that often times, out of our greatest struggles, come our greatest blessings!!! In time, we may be grateful for the burned huts in our lives!!
I'm praying for you!!!!

What a beautiful story. Will keep this one tucked away for future use!!!!
Praying for you Lou. I'm sorry your mom isn't going. It is hard to see through the smoke but the Lord is working...I just wish He made it easier to see how He is working. Praying!
Oh Lou...I just read your last 2 posts. I remember feeling that way too...just at the end of my rope! For me, that day came overthe 4th of July weekend. I was coming to the realization that another month had come and gone and was Maya EVER coming home. Although it was a long 3 weeks, THE call DID come 3 weeks later...I was out of PGN! hang tough gorl! I am praying for these last difficult weeks (and praying that it is not anymore than that!!) I want to go with you to Guatemala! I may be there for a weekend this summer...it would be fun if it were at the same time! But whoever goes is who is supposed to experience this with you. For whatever reason, your parents are supposed to stay home. Not for us to understand now, but trust it is right.
Praying for you~
