The last 5 years March has been a dark, hard month. It’s 31 days of drudgery. It’s not quite Spring, no longer truly winter.
Since we lost Joshua late in February – most of my initial grieving was done in March. Every March my emotions sort of revisit those emotions. However, each year it’s a little better. PTL!
But since the judge didn’t over-rule the initial ruling – looks like next month, March, will be a pretty interesting one! 😀

We’ve been listening to Woodrow Kroll’s “Back to the Bible” everyday. He’s teaching out of Genesis right now. We are bit behind – so today we listened to “Abraham’s Supreme Test of Faith”.
Hmmm…yes, Lord? I’m listening!
And, this bit of dialogue really encouraged me to keep on….
(female cohost)Well, Wood, I’m looking here at Genesis 22:14 that says, “And Abraham called the name of the place, The LORD will provide.” It’s really easy for us to say, “Oh, the Lord will provide.” But then when the hard times come–well, how can we truly grasp, I mean really grasp that promise that the Lord will provide when those hard times come?
Woodrow Kroll: You know I think there comes times in our lives, and sometimes there’re hard times, when God tests our faith too. And He sees what we’re really made of. And it’s at that point that I want to be in a position not to say, “Where are you now, God,” but to say, “I know You’re there even if I can’t see You. I know You’re there if I can’t feel You.” See, God’s presence is not something I can feel, touch, experience emotionally. God is there because God is there. The only way I can come to grips with that is to ask myself the question, how much do I believe what God promises me in His Word? And the degree to which I believe this Book I think will be the degree to which I am willing to obey God when I don’t understand Him.
Exactly. This is my prayer….I know You are there even if I can’t see You. I know You are there even if I can’t feel You. I know You want what is best for me. I will accept that and praise You for it!

Today is day 10 of the 10 day period in which the judge’s ruling could be contested. During this time, I’ve been praying more than ever for our ‘tummy mommy’. Praying for her peace and health. That she will find a safe place to recover and safe people to help her. That she would find God’s love and acceptance. And, I thanked God for her.
How strange to think I am so intimately connected to someone I might never meet.
