praying (Photo credit: ater_unda)Today I feel compelled to share someone else's blog post with you. At times, especially during the recent elections, people have said things to us like:
"When are you going to get this out of your system?"
"It's time for you to come home."
"It's too unstable there, maybe you should go someplace else where it's safer."
"We're praying you home."
"There's plenty of work for you here at home."
etc, etc, etc
I know that these comments were made because we are so deeply loved and because others are concerned about us. We don't take offense or get angry. In fact, we take it as a reminder that many people care about us and pray for us! But we do get discouraged.
Since the author of Inky'Spot said it much better than I could, please read her post "Dont Pray Us Home." I love her quote by D.L. Moody. She has listed some ways you can pray for us (and for her!) and encourage us. I'll just add a little bit to her list. Don't pray us "home," but it is absolutely OK, and a good thing, to pray for times of rest and refreshment for us, to pray for a "getaway" once in a while. Pray also that we will be an encouragement to others!
We love you all. We pray for you and appreciate you. And we need each one of you.
