Lamentations 3:21-24
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.
I am waiting for you Lord.

I love you Rose
i've been trying to call all morning but your phone is doing something weird, did you get a new one?
A few days ago I posted Lam 3:22-24 on my blog in the Message translation...
"God's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over). I will wait for Him."
Praying that you are able to feel God's great & loyal love for you today and always.
the week before the accident, i got a tattoo. and it says "Great is Thy Faithfulness".
in the weeks after, i really had to wonder if i could constantly believe & hold to this "saying" that i had permanently put on my body. but through following your journy, as well as those around you - your friends & your family, and through my own grieving, i've realized it's not a saying...but it truly is a PROMISE.
"Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!"
Rosanna, I pray that you will be able to soak in His constant love & FAITHFULNESS to you. and that you will be able to see/feel the "strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow".
much love.
p.s. i found a great picture of us from our CIT days at Redberry! i'll have to send it to you sometime!! :)
Rose, I love you!!!
Got to Indiana - don't have a phone yet - our truck is apparently on it's way.
God is faithful!
I love you!
Rosanna,
I have been listening to Praise 106.5 FM today while baking. So many of the songs have reminded me of you. We are continuing to pray for you. He IS faithful & His mercies ARE new every morning!
Love, Leanne
This was the daily reading today from my Max Lucado calendar. I thought it was so fitting:
"No cloud obscured the face of the Father from His trusting child, who could look up into the Divine countenance and pour out the longings of his heart." -E.M. Bounds-
"Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication." Psalm 55:1
Praying that you feel the Lord turning to embrace and love you as you wait on Him. Blessings on you Rosanna.
Does Jesus care when I’ve said “goodbye”
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks—
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?
Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.
This Hymn has been in my head, thinking of you and your aching heart........you are on my mind and in my prayers continually. I love you and hurt for you.

Rosanna,
I don't know if you remember me, but I'm a friend of Kirsten's, and we were all in that 'active health' class together a few years back....I just wanted to let you know that I've been praying for you and had been reading your blog for a while already from Kirsten's link.
When I read this last post, the idea of 'waiting for the Lord' struck me as I recalled a sermon I heard once that I've never forgotten...how that word "wait" is "qavah" in Hebrew. The pastor described it to mean "to cling onto God" or to "wrap your weakness around God's strength"....I pray today that in waiting on God, you will experience His incredible strength and love for you. Blessings on you Rosanna.
Today I heard Watermark 's - Arise and Be Comforted and I immediately started praying for you.
Arise and be comforted
For the Lord, He is good to the weary
And even the young heart can tire and fall
But He knows them all
For the Lord, He will renew their strength
And they will soar on wings as eagles
And they will run and never grow weary
They will walk and not grow faint
For the Lord, He is good
Lift your eyes to the heavens
For the creator is living in you
Come surrender as you are
And know that you’ll never stray too far
Let His power within you heal your heart
Lift your eyes to spacious skies
Let Him chart your way to flight
Spread your wings and fly
For the Lord, He is good
Rosanna,
Like so many others who read your blog, you do not know me but we have mutual friends. My heart aches for you as I consider the journey you are on. It is two years ago this month that my husband, also a young pastor, journeyed home. I read a quote by C.S. Lewis that for a very long time expressed my feelings. He said, "I not only live each day in grief, but I live each day thinking about living each day in grief." The journey through grief is so long and exhausting. You will have so much for your mind to process. I pray for you, that God with His tender love will gently guide you, as He has guided me also. About a year or so after Dwayne died I read another quote that has helped me to understand a bit the shaping process that God is accomplishing in my life. It is a quote by George MacDonald (Diary Of an Old Soul). "But Thou art making me, I thank Thee, sire. What Thou hast done and doest Thou knows't well. And I will help Thee; gently in Thy fire I will lie burning; on Thy potter's wheel I will whirl patient, though my brain should reel. Thy grace shall be enough the grief to quell, And growing strength perfect through weakness dire." May God graciously carry you. I will continue to pray.
Living in hope,
Janet Harms Masich
I have found myself frequently waking up to the song "The Steadfast Love" over the last month.
The Steadfast Love of the Lord never faileth. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. New every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness oh Lord. Great is Thy faithfulness.
I cry with you tonight Rosanna. I pray that your eyes may open to brand new mercy.
I love you!

Praying and waiting with you. Love Lynette and Tom
Rosanna,
I am daily praying for you and asking God to meet you as you wait for him. May his arms wrap around you today!
Christa Brand
Trusting God to continue to carry you!

I lay awake a long time last night praying for you. Praying that you have strength while you wait. Love you.
Hello Rosanna: You have crossed my mind many times as of late. Hang in there.

We just got home from a big camping trip up North to the Yukon and Alaska. I don't know how many millions of times on the trip I thought of you, Rosanna. You were always on my heart and in my prayers. I haven't even been able to hug you, yet, after all of this, but I keep praying. Praying that you'll know that you are loved and supported in so many ways, that you're not smothered by too many well-wishers, that you're given the space to heal in your time, and that there are just the right number of phone calls and visitors and things to be done each day to keep you going and not to overwhelm you. Everything I think of to say sounds so trite: "Hang in there." "Trust in the Lord." etc., etc. No words fit, and I'm sure you've heard them all. So I pray for the practical things and look forward to hugging you and seeing even a little smile on your beautiful face.
You are walking one of the toughest journeys I can imagine, and I will do all I can to help you walk that road. I love you, Sweet Rose! I love you!!
Hello dear one. Just letting you know that your on my mind tonight and I'm praying that God will meet you right now with whatever need you have in this moment. Love you lots.
