I know that recently I went through a ROUGH time with my family, and it felt so overwhelming at the time, but God is so faithful, and he was with me all the time. I am reminded of Joseph saying, "you meant this for evil, but God meant it for good. (well, something like that). Last week our Pastor quoted someone saying, "God allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves." So true, it is the explanation for evil things that happen to his children.<BR/><BR/>I hope you are feeling better, and your spirits are lifted. I will remember you in prayer.<BR/><BR/>Lots of HUGS and prayers.<BR/>MelissaFree In Christhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10286535684738345769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-49628031254822209992007-08-10T10:39:00.000+13:002007-08-10T10:39:00.000+13:00Heather-Hello again. :) Wow, I have to tell you t...Heather-<BR/>Hello again. :) Wow, I have to tell you that I have been under a very heavy "cloud",if you will, today. Like the weight of life on this earth and how much I fall short is just so hard to bear(thank God that I have my strength through Jesus Christ!) however, sometimes I crack and my humanness is crushed by the weight of it all. Today is one of those days, nothing in particular is going on just small raindrops like you said--what a perfect analogy...<BR/>So, I am sitting in front of the computer crying(literally) out to God telling Jesus I know You are a friend that sticks closer than a brother, but Lord I miss my friends in Christ(the fellowship!) and then the Holy Spirit reminds me about you and prompts me to check your blog! You can imagine my surprise that what you wrote is exactly for me... Oh, how my heart is aching in my chest at how unfaithful I can be and how desperate for fellowship I am and etc etc etc...the list is endless really! My flesh is weak and when I look away from Him if only for a moment I am reminded of just that! You don't even know what a blessing you are to me! God bless you sister. I will be praying for you.<BR/>Sincerely in Christ,<BR/>Sarah TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-87058692518082514512007-08-09T04:38:00.000+13:002007-08-09T04:38:00.000+13:00thanks for stopping by my blog today!!!thanks for stopping by my blog today!!!Rita Locahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961929692808138092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-54293576951533656662007-08-09T02:01:00.000+13:002007-08-09T02:01:00.000+13:00Thank you Mrs Sharon!

I am feeling kind of torn, but I realize that I need to take responsibility for my spiritual health, as well as my son's, so I need to come back. I have a lot of questions, though - I guess I have some problems with my faith. So maybe Maranatha would be a good place to get those questions answered.Cherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050518935811153811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-84551790674889718472007-08-08T18:44:00.000+13:002007-08-08T18:44:00.000+13:00Heather, I wish I could be there to give you that ...Heather, I wish I could be there to give you that hug!

Bruce and I went for months and never said a word about some of the trials we were going through. It was so comforting and encouraging for a dear Brother or Sister to just say, "You know, I'm praying for you." Or "God laid you on my heart. I just want to tell you that I love you." There's something about that, that can take you a little closer to the mountain when you're down in the valley.<BR/><BR/>~KristiKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408986161900668410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17242998.post-64366626957775887562007-08-08T14:46:00.000+13:002007-08-08T14:46:00.000+13:00Hello Heather!Thank you for visiting my blog today...Hello Heather!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting my blog today. <BR/><BR/>I like your blog a lot and will be back to visit again when I have some time to read.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483264517830536055noreply@blogger.com
