God is so good!! Yesterday Teen Challenge called and I was able to hear a few sentences about Holden and also find out that we can visit him this weekend! Woo hoo! :) They said he was doing great and that he was really wanting the change. He cut his hair again with the clippers...I wonder if he has a buzz cut? They work outside a lot in the afternoons so I imagine he was needing a cooler hair cut...he has REALLY thick hair.
We are leaving Saturday for Lawrence. We won't be able to see him until Sunday but thought this way we would not have to get up so early on Sunday. We are going to the church he is attending and then going back to TC afterwards. Time is ticking by...I can't wait!!! Tony keeps telling me not to set my expectations too high...but I know the God I serve and the amazing works he has already done!!! I know the faithfulness he has shown these last five years! He has protected Holden so many times, he has spared us so many things! The journey has been long but God has been with us all the way through it. And He does not waste anything! What our enemy hoped would end in tragedy and heartbreak, I BELIEVE God will work for amazing Good for the glory of his kingdom! He is doing a new thing (I do perceive it!) and I can't wait to see how he "makes the way in the wasteland and streams in the desert!"
So if there are any parents out there with Prodigals who stumble upon this silly blog...may I just speak words of hope and peace unto you...PRAY for your prodigal child...pray God's word over them, pray morning, noon and night and in between, pray without ceasing, Get alone with God and ask Him to give you the words from his WORD to cling to, to pray, to hope in! He is faithful!
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Romans 8:31-32 He loves our prodigals!!! He is with them....even in their dark places they walk and take their minds! I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. Psalm 139:11-12
Well, my little people are waking up and so I better move on into my day....Blessings to everyone.
