I didn't create it, I didn't cause it and I can't control it!
I can pray about it; I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit will take our moanings and groanings and translates them to Jesus.
On a different note: Michael will be leaving for Okinawa by himself in July. I can not even began to express that mixture of emotions inside me; nor would I want to in a public blog. :)
Even though this situation fits well in the above mantra and will indeed help me deal, it is just an addition to what causes me to chant the mantra.
Time to tune into others and lift them up in prayer least I become bogged down in the Eeyore syndrome. "Woe is me"
Yikes, what a depressing post.
The way I learned the mantra is I didn't cause it, I didn't create it and I can't control it but I can consequence it. There is nothing to consequences so I added the prayer part. It belongs either way.
Have a great day!
About Me
- Robin
- I am married to a wonderful man that has lots of patience. I have a daughter who is now married and a son who still lives at home. I love my family more than anything. Almost more than anything; I also love Jesus. He and I are growing closer day by day. Some times I lose my way and He has to pull me back and remind me how sweet it is to be in fellowship with Him!

I'm sorry that Mike will have to go to Okinawa alone. I remember that time in our own lives. It WAS scary and lonely and hard. But the funny thing is, when I look back that was the best year of my life spiritually and I made the best friends of my life during that year. They are people that I am still in contact with. God's grace will be sufficient. But you won't receive it until you actually need it. Draw close to your local church. You will need their love and support.
Robin, I am so sorry you won't all be together to Japan. I know it will be a hard year. I agree with Julie...God's grace is always sufficient. We'll be here for you. (((hugs)))
Love and prayers,

Hi Robin! The first thing I noticed when I visited today was the proverb in your heading -- we just spent a week learning about that with my girls! It's a good one. Well, they're all good.
I'm sorry to hear that your husband will be sent off without you. I will be praying for you both in this very difficult trial.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragment and prayers.
