Dear Noelle,
Im thankful for you. Thankful for who you are, for your compassion, your care, your love, your selflessness, your encouragment, and how amazingh you truly are. Today,,, as scary as it was,, im thankful for the warning given. I love oyu and i always will noelle, im thankful for how well we can work together to think about things logically and pray about decisions. You'r right, we did stop the verses for each other babe, and i think thats what we really need right now.. so i have one that i wrote on my hand yesterday when my body was exhausted in everyway imaginable, its from my favorite book of the bible:
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
James 5:8-12
There is so much to those verses babe, it makes me want to study into it more, its almost like a plea, he's pleaing diligently for them to have patience. A warning for patience...
Its so hard to endure, to wake up everymorning and believe everything will be ok, that i can keep going,,, im not invincible, life get so hard... james 5 just gives me so hope, like you said earlier, just a few more weeks, just a few more, its ok,,,, the Lord reminds me,"just a little further, almost there Levi." Job didn't have it easy, why should I? im so thankfull the Lord has pity and mercy towards me and gives me trials to build me and give me patience. Noelle, lets not forget today, lets not take it for granted, we are going to be better than the day before. I love you precious noelle, ill always be here for you just as your there for me. tommorow and friday we need to work hard ok? their our hardest days, lets use them to our benefit and do our best to make the best of them. Tebya ochen Leblyu,
