He is good and He loves your whole family more than you do. He will give you the strength that you need for each day. I don't think that He is waiting to pounce on you and smite you, but that He is calling you to come closer and know Him better. I'm sorry for rambling on and on here on your blog. I hope that nothing I've said is offensive. I'm just trying to say that you don't have any reason to worry because no matter what God is good and He loves you and your family far more than anyone else does. And if something bad does happen, He will be there with you through it all.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450692883978734764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25622507.post-1150978105766658522006-06-22T07:08:00.000-05:002006-06-22T07:08:00.000-05:00suffering comes in many forms. I truly believe the...suffering comes in many forms. I truly believe the struggle you're having with all of this IS your dose of personal suffering. We cannot compare our suffering to that of others because God knows us so intimately. Is this not urging you to seek Him? One thing I'm learning is that we need to learn to give ourselves some grace when it comes to this. Our suffering, no matter how small and unimportant it may seem to us, is still suffering. God is asking you to draw closer to Him, you're sensing this and you're working on it! He is PROUD of you! Ask Him to give you peace about your fears, worries and what if's, ask Him to help you let it go into His arms. It will take time, but it can happen! I'll be praying for you.one hot mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054212681657748706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25622507.post-1150086328295150262006-06-11T23:25:00.000-05:002006-06-11T23:25:00.000-05:00Wow - what great thoughts!

And not just honest with themselves about it, but also share that honesty with others. It inspires me to do the same and then to search myself and turn to the Lord to deal with it.<BR/><BR/>This topic is something that I have been trying to work through the past several years (you obviously know where it is coming from). That song you quoted has taken on a much greater meaning to me lately. I would love to discuss this further with you sometime during one of our phone chats!kkooishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04089307749449762881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25622507.post-1150084917517580352006-06-11T23:01:00.000-05:002006-06-11T23:01:00.000-05:00Welcome to being human.

One thing I desire for my girls it that they are not "fair weather Christians" I want them to realize God is good all the time, even when it doesn't seem like it.<BR/><BR/>But we are Mommies. I weep at the thought of my girls getting dumped by a boy let alone going through major trials. <BR/><BR/>Very well said post. I think being honest in our humanity brings us closer to God. <BR/><BR/>Now I need to go change a crib sheet. . .Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279956477604083080noreply@blogger.com
