"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:30-31

i guess i always thought that somehow, some day, some way, God would give us the same kind of miraculous testimony He once gave sally and cal. that somehow, we'd be able to rise above all those who mocked us, threw cold water at us, every single person who seemed to have it made--looks fame cca sports leadership money portfolio whatever--and who technically knew God, but had kinda...confusing lives.

you know, sharon and i discussed this topic umpteen times. would God choose to be glorified through us by helping us get aweseome results against all odds, or would He be glorified by us standing strong in the faith even when we get bad results thrown at us? lol so now we finally know which path was chosen.

honestly, out of our group of ~ 10 ppl, i still don't know the results of 3 ppl. and for those that i do know, only 1-2 came out unscathed. but i guess this is truly a time when we've gotta trust His Heart when we can't see His Hand. Father, during that one last meeting, we prayed for faith to accept our results and that You'd open up a fresh new chapter in our lives for us. and Lord no matter where our paths lead, no matter how dramatically yesterday may have changed our lives...i know we still love You. i know that no matter what the world's gonna throw at us now, we'll still stand strong because nothing can change the fact that we're children of the most high God. and i know that somehow, we're gonna make it through this (:
