I know a lot of you are really praying for me...
I see a small light at the end of this dark tunnel.
I am through ranting...I am feeling a small sliver of
peace in my soul.
I am going to be OK...
Thanks...
to those of you who did not write me off.
Thanks to those of you who care...
Thanks to my Creator...
He never gave up on me...He never will!!
Forgive me for my unbelief...
Forgive me for my anger...
I choose to trust...
I choose to keep on, keepin' on,
Until the Creator says...enough...
I feel a sigh in my soul...
A special thanks to R. : )

Hey Judy,
This is the mark of a real Christian. To keep the faith when it makes no sense. Sooner or later the darkness passes and light emerges again. So thankful you are beginning to see some light again. Why does God put up with any of us in our weakness and failure even after being saved? I guess I'll never know in this life but I'm sure glad he does.
I've heard it said God never gives you more than you can bear. But I've also heard that he does, but with additional grace to bear it. From my own experience I believe the second one is truest.
Your brother in Christ,
Steven
Dearest Judy,
I've been trying and TRYING to reach you!!! I can't get you by phone. Please, PLEASE call me if you can. I've been SOOO worried about you. You are loved and prayed for . Call me, PLEASE! Love, Your Sister in Christ. Jeanie
Judy,
I was just reading the other day from a collection of A.W. Tozer writings, and from the 9/24 entry, this is what Tozer said -
Christian believers are wrongly taught if they believe that the Christian life is a guarantee against human trials and problems. If they believe that, they have mistaken earth for heaven and expect conditions here below which can never be realized until we reach the better world above.
There is a sense in which God makes no difference between the saint and the sinner. He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust. It is strange that we rarely notice the other side of this truth: that God also visits His children with the usual problems common to all the sons of men.
If we cannot remove our problems, then we must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. We will learn, too, that problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. Think of our Lord and Savior—He was surrounded by enemies from the moment of His birth. They constituted a real and lasting problem which He simply had to endure for the period of His earthly life.
Prayers always - Lee
Thanks Steven... I do believe you are very right...we often do get more then we can bear but He gives us more grace to bear it. And Lee I never thought life was suppose to be easy as a believer...I am to much of a realist, I just wish some of us would get a few more breaks from this mess.And then my mind starts overloading and I feel myself sinking in quicksand. Even when I was a kid I knew crying out to God was not a fix all. But I did know that at least it helped believing He was somewhere around and I was not alone.Its the dark times when I feel alone that hurts the most.I just have to keep my eyes on the road and not look from side to side... that is when I blow it! Thanks for the prayers! Both of you!!!
PS, I just never will be as good as Jesus...I am but a human...and a pretty messed up one to boot. And I will probably murmur again...sigh... and then repent again for being such a baby...One thing that helps is I know God loved his son and knows how I am feeling about mine...
