Susan LaffertyPromises made and kept, anchor the heart.
Steady our steps.
Bring comfort in the dark. And courage for the day to day.
Wholehearted commitment and follow-through reflects and reveals the faithfulness of our God.
As we celebrate Christmas each year, my husband and I also rejoice in another anniversary. Remembering promises we made to one another.
Night watch. Our God neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121).
And sometimes He wakes us in the night. To watch and pray.
I remember when the two emails arrived. One after the other. To our inbox in Karachi.
Same time. Same message. Traveling across the world. From opposite sides of the United States.
People look at where you’ve been. Or where you’re headed. Noticing which trials have whipped or trudged through your life.
And then decide you’ve got unusual fortitude. Courage. Perseverance to endure.
“You’re so brave. I could never do that.”
I’m not so brave.
