Keep Your Head Up

A theme that I keep hearing is "keep your head up". You know, it's a well-used phrase that you hear in tough times, but it has taken on new meaning for me. I have been caught hanging my head in despair and God has continually sent me angels to say "keep your head up". He is so faithful and so ready to remind us of His love for us even in times like this, I am blessed.

We are being so well taken care of and feel so loved by all of our friends and family that have shown up, called, baked and done so much LAUNDRY! I cannot express what it means to us to have you all showing up, even for a half and hour, it gives us hope, a boost to keep going!

Our adjuster from our insurance came, just in case something was able to be claimed (nothing is), and he told me that turning this in he'd estimate $75,000, this amount was choked down and then he asked what we were going to do. Without a pause I told him, "pray and trust God". That is what the plan is, pray and trust God, He will provide, the amount of money and time to do this is so beyond us that we have trust that it will be taken care of.

Sometimes God gives us trials in our lives so that we can give witness to what God can do, He is faithful , so I am keeping my head up!

You can keep your head up because God is giving you the strength to do so. You will make it. Winter, you and your family have amazing faith and this too shall (eventually) pass.
