Friends, 朋友們，

I wanted to forward an email Cheryl sent out.  We both wrote parts of it as we were feeling the same way, but most of it came from her.  Please forgive me for not personalizing this to each of you or calling you individually.  I promise I will be better after things settle down.  We are praying for you, please keep us in your daily prayers as well. 我想提出一個電子郵件的Cheryl發出了，我們都寫的部分，它作為我們的感覺同樣的方式，但大部分是來自她，請原諒我沒有個性，這每一個你或打電話給你個人，我的承諾我會更好地後的事情安頓下來，我們為你祈禱，請讓我們在您的每日祈禱，以及。

God’s blessings upon you, 上帝的祝福你，

Mike 邁克

(The following e-mail is filled with lots of references to Bible texts, partially to make the letter shorter, but more importantly to encourage you to look them up on your own. We pray that the Lord will strengthen you through His Word as He has done for us! (Rom. 10:17) （以下電子郵件是充滿了大量的參考資料，以聖經的文本，部分使信較短，但更重要的是要鼓勵你看看他們對自己的，我們祈求上帝將加強你通過他的字，因為他已為我們所做的！ （羅馬書10時17分）

Dear Friends, 親愛的朋友們，

We know that everyone is wanting to know if our house has sold in three days. 我們知道，每個人都想要知道，如果我們的房子已經售出，在三天。 We are writing to share the news that we are still waiting for the Lord to fulfill that 2nd promise. 我們寫信是為了分享的消息，我們仍在等待主履行第二承諾。 We still believe that the Lord will fulfill His promise, just not in the way we thought. 我們仍然相信上帝會履行他的諾言，只是沒有在我們的思想。 He said that He would sell our house in three days. 他說，他將推銷我們的房子在三天。 We thought He meant from the time we listed it, but obviously not. 我們還以為他的意思，從時間，我們上市，但顯然不是。 We aren’t going to speculate anymore. 我們不會去揣測了。 Although we were disappointed, we have learned several great lessons… 雖然我們感到失望，我們了解到，幾個大的教訓…

We should not rely on our own wisdom(James 1:5/ Col. 3:16). 我們不應該靠我們自己的智慧（詹姆斯1:5 /上校3時16分） 。 He will do things in His way and in His time. 他將事情在他的方式和在他的時間。 Who are we to try to put Him in a box and try to figure out how and when He will perform His miracles? 我們是誰，試圖把他在一個盒子裡，並嘗試計算出如何及何時他將履行他的奇蹟？ We just need to believe His promises are true and leave it in His hands. 我們所需要的只是相信他的承諾是真實而將它留在他的手中。 We have chosen to continue to glorify His name and joyfully look forward to the time when He will fulfill what He promised (Heb.10:35-39/ Heb. 6:12/ Is. 26:3/Ps 46:10). 我們選擇了繼續頌揚他的名字，並高興地期待著的時候，他將履行他的承諾（ heb.10 :35 - 39 / heb 。 6時12分/是。 26:3 /聚苯乙烯46:10 ） 。

For those of you that tried to contact us, please forgive me for not responding back to you before now. 對於那些你試圖與我們聯絡，請原諒我沒有回應，回到你之前，現在。 To be honest, I had barely even spoken with Mike. 要老實說，我幾乎沒有發言，甚至與麥克。 I just didn’t know what to say to anyone(Ps. 19:14/1 Cor. 14:33).  I hadn’t had the time to process everything and spend time alone with God. 我只是不知道該說些什麼人（詩篇19時14分/ 1肺心病。 14時33分） ，我還沒有時間來處理一切，並且花時間單獨與神。 I felt as though I need to seek the Lord first (Ps. 141:3). 我覺得作為，雖然我需要尋求上帝第一（詩篇141:3 ） 。 I needed to lay down every thought and burden before the Creator of the Universe and gain counsel from Him before I talked with anyone else(1 Jn. 2:27/ Ps. 32:8/ Ps.139:23-24/ Ps. 62:8). 我要放下一切思想和負擔之前，宇宙的創造者，並取得律師從他之前，我跟其他人（ 1約翰福音2時27分/聚苯乙烯。 32:8 / ps.139 :23 - 24 /常任秘書長。 62:8 ） 。

The Lord is so good (Lam.3:22-25). 耶和華是那麼好（ lam.3 :22 - 25 ） 。 He has been so faithful and provided scripture upon scripture! 他一直這麼忠實和提供的經文後，經文！ I don’t have enough room for all the texts and songs He has brought to our minds! 我手邊沒有足夠的空間為所有的文本和歌曲，他帶來了我們的頭腦！

God has just strengthened our faith through this, which is originally what we had been praying for. 上帝剛剛加強了我們的信念，透過這個，這是原本什麼，我們一直祈禱。 It is our choice and…”We will fix our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of our faith!” (Heb12:2 but actually verses 1-3 are all awesome). 這是我們的選擇和… … “我們將修正我們著眼於耶穌，誰是作者和perfecter我們的信仰！ ” （ heb12 ： 2 ，但實際上詩1-3都是可怕） 。 This is the perfect opportunity for Him to do just that! 這是絕好的機會，為他做到這一點！

We knew that the Lord had spoken to us and by His grace, His name was being glorified.  Many friends and family had shared with us that they were seeking a closer personal relationship with the Lord.  How could that not be bring honor and glory to His name?   We knew that this was a big disappointment in our lives. 我們知道，上帝曾發言對我們和他的恩典，他的名字被歌頌 ， 許多朋友和家人已與我們分享他們尋求更密切的個人關係，與主，怎麼能說，不會帶來的榮譽和輝煌他的名字嗎？我們知道，這是一個很大的失望，在我們的生活。 Although this is not on the same scale by any means as the Great Disappointment, we looked to how the founders of our church responded to that event in their life. 雖然這不是對同一規模以任何方式作為感到非常失望，我們研究了如何的奠基人我們的教會作出回應，這一事件在他們的生活。

My mother-in-law had been reading the Great Controversy and told us we should read chapter 22.  It is an incredible chapter that talks about the disappointment that the early church went through in 1844.  It also talks about how the disciples must have felt, when a few days after they were leading Jesus into Jerusalem to crown Him king, He was dying on the cross.  I wanted to put in a quote from p.408 (The page may differ based on your book.)  It is the last paragraph of chapter 22 in the Great Controversy. 我的母親-在法律已經讀了極大的爭議，並告訴我們，我們應該閱讀第22章，這是一個令人難以置信的篇章談及失望，早期教會的經歷，在1844年，它也談如何弟子必須有感覺，當幾天後他們的領導耶穌進入耶路撒冷為檢察官，他國王，他是死在十字架上，我希望把在引述p.408 （該網頁可能有不同的基礎上您的圖書。 ） ，這是去年段第22章，在極大的爭議。

“They had done the will of God in following the guidance of His Spirit and His word; yet they could not understand His purpose in their past experience, nor could they discern the pathway before them, and they were tempted to doubt whether God had indeed been leading them. “他們這樣做的意願，上帝在以下的指導，他的精神和他的字，但他們無法理解他的目的在其以往的經驗，也不能辨別途徑之前，他們和他們的誘惑，懷疑上帝是否確實領導他們。 At this time the words were applicable: “Now the just shall live by faith.” As the bright light of the “midnight cry” had shone upon their pathway, and they had seen the prophecies unsealed and the rapidly fulfilling signs telling that the coming of Christ was near, they had walked, as it were, by sight. 在這個時候的話適用於： “現在只是將生活信仰”作為強光的“午夜哭”照耀後，他們的通路，他們看到了讖啟封，並迅速完成的跡象，告訴未來基督是近，他們步行了，因為它被，由在望。 But now, bowed down by disappointed hopes, they could stand only by faith in God and in His word. 但現在，磕頭，下跌感到失望，希望，他們可以的立場，只有對上帝的信仰，並在他的字。 The scoffing world were saying: “You have been deceived. 該忽視世界上的話說： “你有被欺騙。 Give up your faith, and say that the advent movement was of Satan.” But God’s word declared: “If any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.” To renounce their faith now, and deny the power of the Holy Spirit which had attended the message, would be drawing back toward perdition. 放棄你的信念，說的來臨，運動撒旦“ ，但上帝的話語宣布： ”如果任何人提請回，我的靈魂，不應有很高興在他“放棄他們的信仰，現在，和否定的權力對聖靈出席了訊息，將制定回對滅亡。 They were encouraged to steadfastness by the words of Paul: “Cast not away therefore your confidence;” “ye have need of patience,” “for yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” Their only safe course was to cherish the light which they had already received of God, hold fast to His promises, and continue to search the Scriptures, and patiently wait and watch to receive further light.” (Heb. 10:36-39) 鼓勵他們的堅定性，通過的話，保羅說： “投不離開，所以您的信心; ” ， “葉有需要的耐心” ， “為，但一會兒，他說，自會來，並不會焦油狀廢液。 ”他們唯一安全的，當然是要珍惜輕，他們已收到上帝，堅守他的承諾，並繼續搜尋聖經，並耐心地等待和觀察，以接受進一步的輕“ （希伯來書10:36-39 ）

Our faith has been strengthened yet again. 我們的信心得到了加強又一次。 God has amazing ways to encourage each one of us, doesn’t He!?!  He has done so for us from His word, the inspired writings of His prophet, as well as through friends & family. 上帝有驚人的方法，以鼓勵我們每個人，他不！ ？ ！ ，他這樣做，我們從他的一句話，啟發的著作，他的先知，以及通過朋友與家人。

I wanted to share an email that Mike received from somebody that had seen our testimony.  It was received the Friday before we put our house on the market.  It said, and I quote “…I also suspect there will be a twist to the story that will allow the scoffers to comfortably continue to doubt and the believers to be ever more encouraged.  Jesus is amazing that way.”   We know the Lord used him to help prepare us, as well as, help us keep our faith after the house did not sell in the way we thought it would. 我想分享一封電子郵件，麥克收到有人曾看到過我們的證詞，這是收到星期五之前，我們把房子在市場上。它說，我引述“ … …我也懷疑會有一個意料不到的故事這將允許scoffers舒適繼續懷疑和信徒被以往任何時候都更鼓勵。耶穌是令人驚訝的方式。 ： “我們知道上帝用他，以幫助我們作好準備，以及幫助我們保持我們的信仰後，房子並不賣的方式，在我們認為它會。

We have faith that the Lord will fulfill His promise to us. 我們有信心，認為上帝將履行自己的承諾給我們。 Until then…..we eagerly await! 直到然後… ..我們熱切期待著！ And we will joyously share how He does when that happens (Ps. 37:5-7/ Rom. 15:13). 我們將joyously分享如何，他是否在此情況下（詩篇37:5-7 /光碟。 15時13分） 。

We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. 我們是讓你所有在我們的思想和祈禱。 Please keep us in yours. 請讓我們在你們的。

Many blessings, 許多祝福，

Cheryl 謝麗爾
