His Arms
Pia's visa was denied and both her and Jec have no direction how and where to go from here. The why-question is so prevalent among us all and leaves us without words. But them especially.
Pia and Jec, know that you are in our prayers. Try to hold on to His Promise.
Often, things happen in our lives that we don't understand. They can be very discouraging, lead us in despair and agony. We cry out to our Lord....why? Why? No answer. It's like He is not there, but we are not aware that He is carrying us in silence:-)
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
Psalm 91:14-16
14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

Seeker:
Amen!
My post could have sufficed with only that sentence you left in your comment:-)
Kristi:
Let's see if you still say that after I bugged you a while. Moms can be pretty annoying at times(grin).
Karen:
I don't know where you have been!!
I missed you on here but I am glad to see you're back.
Love you too, Karen. And Jesus loves us all:-)
Thanks y'all for joining in the prayers for Pia and Jec. May God grant them soon, according to His Will.
God's Grace.
hi corry! this is jec, pia's husband. I guess you already know what happened to pia's interview. She's very depressed right now but it's a lot painful for me coz i can't do anything. We both want to thank you for all the support and prayer's.
Jec:
Hi Jec! Kc and I are pleased to meet you, although we wished the circumstances were so much more different:-(
If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to contact us. No need to thank us, we continue to pray for both of you and for a quick solution to your situation. May God bless you, strengthen you and comfort you in this time of trial.
God's Grace.
Thats a great poem isn't it!
Corry, that's right...the set of footprints are the Lord's and He's carrying Pia and Jec...will continue to keep them in prayers.
Amanda:
I love it, it is so encouraging:-)
Kitty:
Thanks girl, Jec and Pia need it right now. We know God hears!
God's Grace.
Hope you're feeling better Corry. You and Casey both. I've been missing you dropping by, but understand completely how it can be sometimes. Even - or especially - when life "should" be the slowest! (Like when you're confined at home for two or three months!)
I pray things will work out for the best for Pia nad her husband and for you all, too.
I need to talk with you soon about my son, David, who's seeing a Rheumatologist in a couple of weeks because he's been feeling really bad with hurting joints, inflamed and swollen and feverish.
Right now, it's really late, so I need to go get some rest.
Later.
