In reply to Lisa. It is so amazing how God's word continues to be living and active in our present circumstances. I've read this passage many times yet today it breathes new life and renewed hope into my day. In reading further on through verse 30 it continues to speak volumes to this weary heart. Lisa, thank you for speaking these words of life into our journey.

I came across this in my reading this morning: Romans 8:18-25. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in is. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation goals and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope is that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

You know my heart is already connected with yours in prayer. I woke up this morning thinking of you and this faith journey you are to wait in the Lord. You have been an example that while waiting might seem void of action it takes every fiber in the human being to wait. Continue to rest in the assurance of our Lord Jesus, He has this whole journey mapped out. I am honored to bare witness to the gluons I get of it and humbled to join you in prayer. I loved praying these prayers with you two years ago and my heart even now longs to join in. Oh the story of redemption God is writing in and through these years of waiting. God is so good!
