Great is the Lord and Greatly to be Praised!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Tonight was definitely a stressful night. We thought Rae's dad would co-sign for us all but then my dad talked him out of it. Rae and I were freaked about talking to our dad's, AJ felt that it was his fault that his mom thought that Rae’s dad thought she was an idiot, and Doug (like all of us) just wanted to hit something.

But Great is the Lord! We all know that the Lord wants to do this through us; we all have received conformation, and have seen the Lord bless us in our decision. Honestly, I see this as a roadblock that the enemy is trying to throw at us. Looking at tonight, I have seen us fret and worry. But why worry? "If God is for us, who can be against us?" We have this big God whom we can call father. He is our rear guard. He is backing us up on this. Yes this is hard, yes it is scary talking to the dad's who just don't understand, but in our suffering we praise God for we have been "counted worthy to suffer shame for his name." And we can rejoice in knowing that the Lord has this all in His hands. He sees this path before us and is guiding us down it. We will get through this because the joy of the Lord is our strength. When it all boils down to it, all that matters is His glory, and we can rejoice because He will receive all glory! So rejoice! Praise Him who is worthy to be praised. For the Lord is God, good and mighty!
