My husband and I were to be married on that very day, but then he was called up for Army deployment, so we had an early little house wedding on March 8th before he left two weeks later. But we two couples almost shared anniversaries. Congratulations! :) :)Alyssa Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336146303790544654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763511535773949551.post-18052747392363705442012-07-24T14:05:10.356-06:002012-07-24T14:05:10.356-06:00Amen, amen! I have been thinking of the same thing...Amen, amen! I have been thinking of the same things recently - as we grow up, and learn to love more deeply, our realization of life's sorrows deepens also. I have felt often depressed and sorrowful lately, longing for heaven, and attributed much of it to the fact that my dear husband of four months is far away from me in a military camp and won't be home again for 7 months. Yet you, whose husband is near you, are facing the same feelings of sadness. Proof that true joy does not come from circumstances but from the love of God shed abroad in our hearts. The hope set before us - which can never be taken from us! - is the only thing that can sustain our hearts in life's sorrows. Thank you for helping me to remember the joy of the Lord, dear sister!Alyssa Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336146303790544654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763511535773949551.post-43935187645412179182012-07-24T11:45:01.605-06:002012-07-24T11:45:01.605-06:00Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887199446482564640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763511535773949551.post-46966502494704808802012-07-24T10:43:07.673-06:002012-07-24T10:43:07.673-06:00Rachel,
I'm sorry your having a hard time righ...Rachel,<br />I'm sorry your having a hard time right now! <br /><br />I've been struggling lately too, frustrated with life in general. But in the midst of all that, I forgot God. I just left Him behind, even though I was complaining to Him. Then I realized I'd completely left Him in my dust, but really all I needed to do was call Him-an He's there. I've been realizing that life gets harder when I forget that it's not about me-it's about Him and His plan. When I become selfish and grumpy, it's because I've been focusing too much on myself. <br /><br />Thanks for this post and for sharing your struggles with us.<br />I LOVE that song, we just sang it in church on Sunday actually! A great reminder that life on Earth isn't our end goal, life with Christ is. <br />Natasha<br />A Modest Fashion Blog:<br />www.natashaatkerson.blogspot.comNatasha Atkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593504944388481931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763511535773949551.post-24493789634016536732012-07-24T05:42:36.478-06:002012-07-24T05:42:36.478-06:00Thank you so so much rachel for posting this!

But at the same time I am pressing onward towards Christ, trying to glorify Him even in lonliness and struggle. Thank you for the reminder to go to Him and not others things for our help!<br /><br />Oh and congratulations on you and your husbands marriage. I have been reading your blog for a while, but never got around to commenting till now. God bless!<br /><br />In Christ,<br />RebeccaRebecca Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738945951713645411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763511535773949551.post-72831018408555424932012-07-23T22:12:42.569-06:002012-07-23T22:12:42.569-06:00I needed this tonight....
