We had disappointing news today about an outcome we'd hoped for...the sort of thing that you try not to get your hopes up about, but do anyway and then find yourself swallowing back a big lump in your throat when you realize it isn't going to happen. I can't reveal more, but suffice it to say that it wasn't a life crisis and we'll get over it but yes, it was most definitely a disappointment of some proportion.
We've talked a lot off and on about it, each expressing how disappointed we are, but careful too, to acknowledge the many blessings we've received in the past week alone, as well as the answered prayers we've seen manifested in our lives over the last few months.
Honestly we don't believe God let us down. We don't know the reason behind what happened but we believe it will come right in the end. We both acknowledged the answered prayers, the blessings we've received and that was important for many reasons. It reminded us that our God is faithful. It reminded us in whom we trust. We are more aware than ever that He is our source for all things. But there can be no doubt that for a moment today our faith was stretched and stretched as we absorbed the news. It was a time to choose in whom we'd believe. We decided it was to be God our Father.

Disappointments are a bitter pill to swallow. It's a good thing that we have the living water to make it go down easier!
