On Christ, the Solid Rock I stand

When I heard this song last week, it occurred to me how much has changed in our family's "foundation" these last few months. I don't think you ever know how strong your foundation is until its tested - and we've had our fair share of testing. We certainly haven't "passed" but rather survived and ultimately grown through these experiences. His word is clear about building our lives on a solid foundation and not on the shifting sands of the world. Although we certainly haven't conquered all of our fears, we have grown as a family and are putting much more effort in building our foundation in Him. I know that with His strength and grace that we are going to experience amazing things in the future. We already have...from His provision for us during job loss to provision for us to adopt to emotional stability in our family. I'm so excited for what He has in store for us, and I know that if we stand on His word that we will withstand the storms of life.
