PSALM 94:18

When I said, "My foot is slipping,"
your love, O LORD, supported me.


Let us have faith that He will be what we need. I feel my faith drifting in and out like waves these days. I needed a reminder of what His promise is to His children.

Brian and the kids enjoyed a fun 3 day weekend in Modesto.
I had forgot to tell you about Hailey's slumber party with Brian, Deena,Dana,Victoria and Enni(and all their kids). They had a blast with some pin the tail on the donkey, movies and a "no hands" ice cream eating contest that Miss Hay devoured them in;)
She had a wonderful time and felt very special.
It was evident that she felt the absence of her Mom when she said to Brian the next day,"things just aren't quite as fun without Mom". You can't argue that...they're Not! Robynn made everyday special and fun, that's just the way it was! Boy do I miss that gift she gave to each one of us so freely. Miss it now, be blessed by it ALWAYS!

Pray On!

I miss it too. Simultaneously, her blessing is still working in my household, and in my heart.

I am so sorry about Ruby. Hang in there, Shelley.

Robynn has been a true inspiration to me and my life. I never met her but she has impacted my life in countless ways.
I'm praying Ruby returns home soon.

I also want you to know about a song that you might like. It's called Sissy's Song by Alan Jackson. It talks about how an incredible woman left this life and is walking with Jesus. It will make you cry but you will feel healing when listening.

Blessings to you and your family.

Dear Brin and kiddos,
I heard about how much fun the slumber party was-what a great idea.
Making new memories that will last for a life tme-it is my new moto.
Praying hard for Ruby's safe return.
I love you all and praying in hope and deep love for all of the family,
Miss Denise

If you haven't already, call all the veterinary offices so they can be on alert to scan any 4 month old black lab that may con into the office. I think I read a past post that saidd Ruby had a microchip. I hope you find her soon. I believe you will.

I agree with all of the above sentiments and hope that you will soon see the fruits of all the prayer seeds you have sown.

Brian is such a wonderful Dad, no wonder he and Robynn came together in marriage...like attracts like. We miss her a lot, but can't even imagine what you must be feeling.

That's why we are still lifting all of you up and praying that Ruby girl is returned to you swiftly to ease that burden of loss on your hearts.

With love & friendship~

Hey there ~ it is our deepest hope that today was a better day. Whether you live it day by day, hour by hour, or minute by minute; it makes no difference, just as long as you are living, and loving. Robynn is standing strong right beside you urging you not to quit. I know I feel her throughout my day; and she is faithful to let me know that things will get easier. I think one thing to remember is that it’s okay to feel everything that you are feeling right now. It may take quite some time, the thing is to realize that its okay; every single emotion, whether they are different or the same from day to day; allow yourself to feel. Don’t expect too much from each other too quickly. And, if you need to cry, than you do it to the best of your ability and with all your might. We hope thinking about Robynn’s beauty, inside and out, as well as her incredible presence contagious smile and laugh, will bring the sweetest of smiles to you, and that you concentrate on these wonderful memories when you are missing her most. Remember too that our Lord knows the rhythm of your spirits and knows your heart thoughts. He is as close as breathing; He is mourning with you. Shelley, we are sorry to hear that Ruby has not yet made it home, but, we are not giving up. Please know we are thinking of each of you daily.

Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.
-1 Peter 5:7

Love you friends = )

By the way, I promise I will have some pictures to you by weeks end! I have found looking at pictures is also comforting.

Writing today to ask you to include the young mom of one of my students in your prayers. Lori I. is Hayden's mom. She is battling stage IV Melanoma. She is at MD Anderson this week hoping for a second, more hopeful, opinion. Hayden's mom is young (24) and single, but blessed with wonderful parents who have been able to provide support and stability for this 7 year old boy. I am hopeful that Army Goodell will open their hearts and pray for Lori and her family... that she may receive good news, and that she may be given the opportunity to continue mothering this wonderful first grade boy!

That's OK Shelley - we all feel the unexplainable pain at times. I truly believe our Lord appreciates our honesty, yet is so gracious that He still holds all of us so close. You are so wonderful.

Thanks for telling us about Sissy's Song. I had never heard this song, despite being a huge Alan Jackson fan. It is beautiful.
