In the midst of our pain, we will rise...

For the past few days, my heart has been heavy.  Two of my dear friends are mourning the death of their mother.  She was an amazing woman, and her strength and character live on in her children, and her children's children. 

I heard this song today, and thought of my friends. 

Isaiah 40:3 says, "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

You are in my heart and prayers.
