You're going to be okay!

From "A Holy Experience", "I know you're brave and you're scared.  Because you keep doing big things that seem so small and you wonder where all this is really going and you only get one life here.  And though you're weary, you do hard things and you keep getting out of bed and this is always the hardest part.  And you keep believing that Christ didn't leave this world until He showed us His scars and He won't ever let you leave this world until you leave your most beautiful mark. To show Him.  Because God's writing your story and He never leaves you alone in your story, and His perfect love absorbs all your fear and His perfect grace carries all your burdens, and your story is a happily ever after because Christ bought your happily ever after so you always know his this story ends.  You're going to be okay."

Moms that are carrying the burden of a loved one in prison,  you're going to be okay.  All is well because "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."  Because of Jesus, we're going to be okay.  Because of Jesus, we have a "peace that passes understanding".  Because of Jesus, we have a "refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble".  It's interesting to me that God is our refuge in trouble.  If this was my story, I'd take Matt out of this trouble!  But, I trust God's plan.  I know that God through the Holy Spirit is with Matt at this very moment locked up in a hot, stinky, dorm room with a bunch of guys in Palestine, TX eating cabbage and beans!
