Tribe

I’m looking for a tribe.

My sons served two year Christian missions across the world. One served in Australia and the other Madagascar. They were allowed to email once a week and we were able to skype twice a year, Mother’s Day and Christmas. The reason was for them to focus on the Lord’s work and not get caught up with affairs at home. During that time I had a group of moms all in the similar situation, either their son or daughter was serving. Many times I turned to them for strength, answers and prayers. One time in particular my son was having a hard time and we were without work here at home and my husband was severely depressed. I did not feel comfortable turning to family, so I turned to this group of moms and asked for help. I have a hard time asking for help to begin with. This is one of my jagged edges I am working on. Well, I asked these moms for their prayers and I can testify that the power of prayer works. I could feel their love and concern to help. I saw many great examples of kindness that I have never seen before. There are people out there that can see a need deeper and can reach out in ways I have never thought of. Well the power of prayer works and we managed through the struggle.

I want this to be a place where we can turn for strength and build each other up.

Have a great day! I’m thankful for YOU!
