Life is continuing on. Overall it hasn't been too bad at all. There are just those days that are a bit harder then others. I've pretty much reached the point that although I love and care for Dave, I'm a lot more worried about him for his souls sake. I don't really mind if we ever get together just that he comes around spiritually to where our Father can work on him. We've been on our own for close to 7 months now and are building a new life, so if he were to decide to make contact but not come back home I think we'd be okay. Especially if he isn't interested in meetings. It'd be hard, I know that, but after this long on our own it'd be okay. I just love the way it has all worked out though. Looking back over the last months, and even before that, I can see the our Father's hand in our lives. The preparing so to speak before Dave left and just the guiding and comforting since. There's a verse I've really appreciated this last week in 1 John. "Perfect love casts out fear" to know I can go through life without fear because I have a Father that knows exactly what I need and when I have complete love and trust in Him then those needs (not wants) will be taken care of. No fear wondering where life is going to take me because I know that whatever happens is for the best. It's in our human nature to worry though, wonder when the jobs are coming in (very slowly trickling in, maybe a new client tomorrow?). It's a fight against the human nature, but with prayer it's doable!
We heard tonight that He doesn't save us from the experience but IN the experience. Daniel was put in the den of lions (the experience) but the mouth of the lions was closed (saved IN the experience). We need to go through experiences to grow spiritually. We won't know the power of our Father unless we go THROUGH experiences, then He can show us His power. But we need to pray for that help, acknowledge we need it.
Convention season is just around the corner and I'm so looking forward to it. So thankful for those who have stayed faithful and for the examples set.
