I am sure that this has been excruciating for you and for Mickey to go through. Your prayers are not just floating out there, as you know, but are contained in the very heart and hand of God, Himself.<br /><br />It's difficult when we, who are created for a spiritual relationship with our Father, choose to live only in the natural. Thus, only experiencing a very small and temporal portion of what and Who we are designed for. I am sure that you have spent these last years pouring into Oksana and Aric (and they are just beautiful and handsome!), it is not for nothing. It will yield a result, and we believe that it will be a righteous result. Part of this, as you know, is their own choosing. We pray they will choose wisely as they go (I'm speaking specifically of the children).<br /><br />God is Oksana's healer. I pray He will go, by His Spirit, to the deepest part in her precious heart and place His caring hand there until she is healed and restored. Jesus died for the injustices done to the children and to Marc, and we pray that the very power that raised Christ from the dead, will resurrect the destiny and wholeness for which He designed not only Oksana and Aric, but also Marc, and now Deann and her children. I once heard this that a blended family is really a sifted family. Pain implied! It's difficult. But, in Christ, with two people whose hearts are given to the Lord, it can be done honorably. My Mom and stepdad, My Dad and Stepmom were able to do it. Yes, great pain, but the greater reason to turn to the Lord for His wisdom and guidance, and restoration.<br /><br />You know we pray daily for Suzette, and will with assurance as long as is needed. Some trust in horses, some in chariots, but WE will trust in the name of our God.<br /><br />We also pray you will continue to lay all of this at the feet of Jesus where you will find unlimited grace and mercy for every heartache you are carrying about all these matters.<br /><br />Blessings, dear sister and brother in Christ. Like Paul, I have a longing to see you that I hope someday will be realized. My very eyes are filled with tears as the weight of your load is realized in my heart.<br /><br />Much love.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852361286674074590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-39546225706825184972011-01-02T10:20:29.438-06:002011-01-02T10:20:29.438-06:00You are starting the new year with some tough issu...You are starting the new year with some tough issues. None of this is a surprise to God though and He is with you every step of the way. I appreciate your honesty. It adds many people who can pray for you!<br />I will be praying for Suzette, and Marc and family. Also praying for you and Mickey. I know you are both a great source of support to your family, but at the same time your hearts are hurting.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-12354680941818916182011-01-02T09:34:18.398-06:002011-01-02T09:34:18.398-06:00So sorry to hear of this.

I, honestly, had a long 7 year struggle that did not work out as I'd hoped.

Wishing you and yours all the very best that 2011 can bring. My prayers are with your daughter as she continues her battle, as well as with your son & family. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.com
