"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion", says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." Lamentations 3:22-26**
As I read Lamentations 1-3 this morning I was encouraged and excited and hopeful. Even though circumstances in my life don't seem to be fair and can at times even seem devastating-I have hope just like Jeremiah and Zion (God's people) did!! I know that the Lord is planning my steps and He is leading me where He wants me and my little family to be. I really am rather excited about the prospects and what He has in store for our future!
I also know that what the devil meant for evil the Lord will use for good-His good and His glory! Therefore, I am not consumed by evil or the circumstances of my life but I am completely consumed by my Maker!!!

Arika,
I have wanted to tell you this for a while, but today seems right. Because as I was reading your blog I sat amazed at how you view your life and all the situations in your life. I am strengthened and encouraged by you in so many ways and know for almost certainty that you have responded better than I ever would - going through what you have gone through. I know your struggles have not ended but with the way you have embraced the Lord and His plan for you - you will not falter and He will do marvelous, wonderful things with and through you and your family! I thank God for the example of your heart - it is amazing.
With love, Diana
thank you Diana. It's through your prayers too that I am where I am with the Lord and my life. So thank you for praying and loving me where I am!
