I am in awe of the things you make it through and the faith and the smiles you carry through with you--and that carry you. They're a stark contrast, some days, to the things I whine about, and a good reminder that my approach to my own struggles are a choice, not a necessity: look what beauty I *could* be making out of trials much larger! Reading your story as it unfolds really embodies, for me, the lessons about grace that I struggled to understand when I was younger. I know what that word means now (and why people who understand it like to hang it as a name upon their daughters): Grace is what you have, what you are, how you live. And it's everso kind of you, no matter how mired you get in the daily pressures of your worries, to find the time to share it. I am not the *slightest* bit tired of you.

So, if nothing else, feel pleased that the outside is masking the inside? Thank you for updating us on how to pray. Know that you are brought to mind often- the Spirit is working on your behalf.

Thank you for your honesty. These verses have been my comfort in my last few weeks of stress and pain, so I'm sharing them with you. Psalm 61:1-5 1 Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; 2 from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, 3 for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. 4 Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah 5 For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. Love you, Angie! Thank you for your honesty. These verses have been my comfort in my last few weeks of stress and pain, so I’m sharing them with you.
Psalm 61:1-5
1 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
3 for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

4 Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

It's encouraging to hear of your consistancy of faith and trust, and helpful to know details to know better how to pray. It was good to see the last of Monica's comment, referring to the verses that were my comfort nearly 26 years ago (from Ps. 139:16). Each of us has been given the number of days that will complete our journey in this life, each day ordained by Him. Thankful for your reminders of His faithfulness and that "He Giveth More Grace!" He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again! With love, Carol No, Angie, we don’t tire of you or your posts!
