She went through it in a way I had missed before. As God took the Israelites completly out of the way to reach the promised land, they ended up at Mount Sinai and "camped in the wilderness". It was here that God prepared them to hear (ver 9) and see (ver 11) Him. In our humanness, we want to bypass the "wilderness", we certainly don't want to camp there. And if we do end up there, we want to keep our bags packed and be ready to run as soon as we possibly can. But the Israelites gave us such a beautiful model...they camped there. They pitched their tents. They hunkered down and got ready to hear and see God. "In this world, you will have trouble" (John 16:33), but thanks be to God that "in all things God works for the good of those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). That doesn't mean all things are good, but He is there, He is sovereign, He will walk through the desert with you, and He will bring good from it.<BR/>Thank you for this post, Adrienne...<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MichelleMichelle (wife, mom, grandma, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, and striving to be a Proverbs 31 woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15073514366455942396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-46400986991355087022008-09-03T09:26:00.000-06:002008-09-03T09:26:00.000-06:00This was a brilliantly written post.

I know He'll pick me up on the other side. But so many don't. So many don't understand and can't comprehend. <BR/>I hope you don't mind, but in my blog, I posted a link to yours today as I thought this message was well worded and needed to be seen by others.<BR/>Thanks for your insight and your courage.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307755926222436337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-60320113819431936112008-08-28T16:58:00.000-06:002008-08-28T16:58:00.000-06:00Thank you for this, I haven't left a comment here ...Thank you for this, I haven't left a comment here since just after Noah went to be with the Lord but I have been a faithful reader.

It really hit home for me...I had a miscarriage back in March and haven't been able to get pregnant again...It's easy to get caught up in the WHY's and wondering what I did to deserve this. But I know in my heart that I didn't DO anything and that God is working in me through this experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-85163336975628867622008-08-28T08:40:00.000-06:002008-08-28T08:40:00.000-06:00Thank you, I really needed the reminder that God i...Thank you, I really needed the reminder that God is right there in the middle of everything.<BR/><BR/>Sherrysherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882507310802641985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-71763441645401507172008-08-28T07:37:00.000-06:002008-08-28T07:37:00.000-06:00Hi Adrienne- I don't know you altough I feel lik...Hi Adrienne-<BR/> I don't know you altough I feel like I do as I have been following your blog at least every couple of weeks for about a year now. Here, on the other side of the computer, I have cried and prayed for you and your family, read your struggles and felt your pain. Though I don't know exactly what it's like to be in the dark places you and your family have been, I do know that because you have chosen to share your life and the life of your precious little boy, GOD HAS BEEN GLORIFIED! You have an amazing gift to put words on paper (computer screen) in such a way that people can read, feel your vulnerability and transparency, yet see you remaining faithful to God in all of this. Do you know what an incredible testimony that is? To be in love with the God who made you, who made Noah, and to, although you have wrestled, come out VICTORIOUS and still faithful on the other side? Keep posting, keep being real, keep loving Jesus the way you do because HE is using YOU and YOUR story in ways you will never know...thank you for encouraging me, just by sharing. Much love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-16144240106412690932008-08-28T07:15:00.000-06:002008-08-28T07:15:00.000-06:00What my intentions are is to introduce people to G...<I>What my intentions are is to introduce people to God the way I see in His word that He desires to be known.</I><BR/><BR/>This is why I read your blog. I am not where you are and I don't see what you see. I'm not even sure I agree with you most of the time (for my own reasons). But you share yourself and your vision of God so beautifully that I feel compelled to continue to read.

Fleur doesn't, she doesn't ask why -- she stands in the middle of it all, confident that Andre is by our Father, and that God will not desert her in this time. So your words are more relevant to those of us close to her, it's something I really needed to read today!<BR/><BR/>So many times I've thought about taking your link out of my favorites -- as a mother of young children I really struggle to keep my computer time down and my list of favorites short and overseeable. But I've followed Noah's story almost from the beginning and I like checking in every now and then.<BR/><BR/>God is using you to reach a lot of people, Adrienne -- I'm so glad you've kept writing!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923755473920261499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-58626045735153951762008-08-28T02:14:00.000-06:002008-08-28T02:14:00.000-06:00Beautifully written.
