Just When I Think I Have Things Figured Out......
Just when I think I have everything figured out..............I realize I do not. In the span of a weekend I lost the security of my Mama Phillips and the security of my husbands job. My grandmother passed away last night. She was an amazing woman who has such a legacy of Love for her family and for her God. I miss her already. My husband lost his job, and the anger/fear/anxiety I expect to feel are not there. I have instead a peace that God has something in store for us. Don't get me wrong, I am not happy about this.......but I am peaceful. And as John Waller sings in his song I Am Waiting..............I am waiting on you Lord, and I am hopeful. Though it is painful, but patiently I will wait. I will move ahead bold and confident, taking every step in obedience. While I'm waiting, I will will serve you. While I'm waiting I will worship. I will not fade, I'll be running the race even while I wait. We ask for your prayers as we wait. Peacefully.

Hang in there! You have such a great, warm, loving family to help you through. What would we do without family?! You know God must have the greatest surprise waiting for you-Thinking about you guys...
Wow! What a blow! and you know God and you love Him. His promise to us is that, "ALL things work together for good for those who love the Lord!" In the depths of despair, I remember that and many times through my tears, I've said,"Rakey, I can hardly wait to see what God will do with THIS!"
Sweet Stacy and Sean, I know how much you both love the Lord. He WILL use all of THIS for good and your family will have an incredible testimony! Imagine how inspiring that will be to others! To your girls! To the rest of your family!
About your grandmother, try looking forward to when you'll see her again. When I miss my mom, I try to do that. It doesn't always work, but a lot of times I can use the thought of seeing her in heaven to bring joy into my heart through my tears.
love you bunches!
