God makes ways for me to rest in the smooth meadow grass.
Come to Me and I will give you rest—all of you who work so hard under every kind of heaviness.
Rest in the Lord.
Christ has already entered there. He is resting from His work, just as God did after the creation.
Do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your spiritual strength comes as a gift from God.
Then we will no longer be like immature children, forever changing or minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different, or has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. Instead we will lovingly follow the truth at all times—speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly—and so become more and more in every way like Jesus who is the head of His Body, the Church.
I am seated in His much-desired shade and His fruit is lovely to eat. He brings me to the banquet hall and everyone can see how much He loves me.

Dear Josh & Amy,
Your last days of blog writings have been words from the Lord that are sweet and refreshing to my soul. I am always amazed at how the Lord uses those in hard places to minister to those of us who are suppose to be ministering to you! You and Amy are strong in the Lord and in His might. You employ great grace under fire; heros in the fight that is not against flesh and blood, but against the blinding spiritual darkness of this age. We~everyone here in VA and elsewhere~ continue to undergird you bombarding heaven for Olivia and for you/your family. I thank God, too, for Amy's Mom who is able to be there to graciously give such love and service to you at this time. Give her my love...and appreciation, (from me as YOUR Mom it's my desire to be able also to offer my service as a hands-on helper, but unable at this time). I love that you take time to call me when significant changes happen. That family connection means a lot, esp as you are being pulled in so many directions. I will continue to check your blog daily & point others there as well. We continue looking to the Lord who is your ever present help in times of trouble! All my Love, Mom
