Muckboots n' Aprons: My daughter

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

My daughter

My youngest son and I went to see my daughter this week. We only had a couple of hours with her...boy it sure wasn't enough. Driving away with her standing in the driveway was the hardest thing. Made me physicallly ill. I miss her.

I found out I'm not so good at trusting God with all my circumstances as I thought. Or maybe, it's hers I'm worried about.

I think it just shows how much you love and miss her not about how you lack trusting God. I'm glad you had special time with your daughter.
