Peace and Rest

“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:1-2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Where do you find your safety? In whom or in what do you place your trust? Where do you have peace and rest? Is it a place? 

Since moving into our new house in February 2017, it has been a place of peace and a safe haven. Not because of the structure but because of how The Lord has continually guided us through whatever we were dealing with at the time. 

Last night we arrived at The Perch! This is a place of God's perfect beauty and peace and rest. We are about 9000 feet above sea level on the side of the mountain in a cabin. It's just the four of us, tucked away. 

I'm looking forward what God is doing in our family. The girls were amazing for the 15 hour trip - only twice did we have minor issues. After unpacking the car, we grabbed some pizza then the few groceries we needed. 

Then it was time for family Bible Study. 1 Cor. 13 was our focus. We discussed what Love really is. Alan has always focused on what it says Love isn't. Other other day when doing his own study, Alan really wanted to help us all focus in on what Love is and how we should be with each other. I jumped in and discussed what my hope is for our family this week. 

We talked about how the last year and a half has been hard. And how amazing they have been, especially since Alan's recurrence diagnosis. These two girls have dealt with so much. We talked about how God is big enough for our anger and how He understands our pain. This caused a tidal wave of emotion in our teenager. She holds in her emotions so much. It was a great break through. 

Please pray for more of these break throughs for all of us. We all have so much we are feeling with Alan's cancer and in the hustle and bustle of our day to day lives, we don't fully process. Grateful to our friends for the week at their cabin. This is the perfect place for processing and healing in His grace and peace!

The perfect place for watching the sun rise!
