Not a good day. I googled the definition and one said," loss of hope; utter hopelessness". Yeah, that about covers it.
Received news this morning that friends of ours who were going to come visit early next year have cancelled their plans. No hope left of seeing them any time soon. Gut wrenching.
Hence despair.
I HATE the fact that I can't see anyone I want to see from home. I HATE the fact that it's absolutely hopeless. And I'm really really tired, once again, of being positive. I'm really quite worn out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah there are lots of positive things going on but I seem to have forgotten every single one of them right now.

Oh sweetheart! I want more than anything to fly over and give you a huge hug. I am so sorry. It really does stink. You have been and are so brave. It is okay to feel tired and down about it all. Please know that I am praying for you that God would somehow send you some extra love in a surprising way today. I love you.
We are so sorry to hear about this. What a disappointment. We love you and our hearts go out to you. Can you feel our hugs???!!!
From Mom: God understands your despair. Isaiah 30:18a, 19b says, "Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion... How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you."
I think you have done a super job!!
From Dad: In John 14:18 Jesus says, "I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you." That's a promise!!
Psalm 9:12b says, "he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted." Cry our to Jesus he will hear and he understands- -his friends ran away from him. Psalm 31:7 says, "I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul." Christ sure can relate to your heartache, as he suffered anguish and was afflicted. Don't let Satan draw you away from who you are and the position you have in Christ. Don't let Satan have you well on your circumstances. Your victory is in Christ. Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world!!
We can't wait to give you some real hugs in person. Love, Mom and Dad
I am so sorry! I wish I could come give you a hug. I love you and I am praying for you! Hang in there- it WILL get better! I wish I had the computer hooked up so we could Skype... possibly tonight or tomorrow!
