yes, Angie, such sweet truths. Two of my favorites - He is on His throne, and He has me inscribed in the palm of His hands. Thank you for these reminders. And thank you for sharing your heart. And please remember: we are still praying for you…

How cleansing to let the tears fall as I read this tonight. I suppose I have gotten stuck in my “still” place, and that still turns to fear and fear leads to unbelief. Infertility is making me feel stuck physically, spiritually, emotionally. I think about it all the time, I dream, I wonder, I get mad, I question. I think I deserve my struggle, maybe I did something wrong along the way and this is my punishment. I start believing the lies of the enemy. I start disbelieving the truth of my God. Stupid fallen world!! I’m so consumed with it, that I’m not seeing all the blessings and amazing things God is doing in my life, in my marriage, in our new little church. And it’s stunting my spiritual growth! Slowly realizing that waiting is not passive. It’s active.

Thank you for leading me to the cross with your words.

Love to you always.

I appreciate these words. Sometimes, when we are living in the moment, we forget about those that are less fortunate…those that are still hurting.

I am thinking of you. Still.

My precious Angie,

He confirms to us “I will never leave or forsake you, Lo I am with you always, even to the ends of the earth.” Just to practice His presence, know this reality when I am in one of my struggles to die to myself, to face everything with knowing that He causes everything to work together for my good is quite a journey. The one that has saved me, not just offered salvation, must become my life.

My dear sister, let’s walk not by sight, but by faith. His word is a lamp unto our feet and our light unto our path. At which time we are afraid, we will trust in the Lord.

I think of you all the time and am praying for you.

Grace be multiplied to you, that all sufficient grace,
I love you dearly,
Judie

The I in this reading is Jesus.

“I AM ABOVE ALL THINGS: your problems, your pain, and the swirling events in this ever-changing world. When you behold My Face, you rise above circumstances and rest with Me in heavenly realms. This is the way of Peace, living in the Light of My Presence. I guarantee that you will always have problems in this life, but they must not become your focus. When you feel yourself sinking in the sea of circumstances, say “Help me, Jesus!” and I will draw you back to Me. If you have to say that thousands of times daily, don’t be discouraged. I know your weakness, and I meet you in that very place.” Sarah Young.

I have had to say “Help me, Jesus” already a few times today and I know it will not be the last time.

Thank you for this rich post.

I love you!

And as much as people “do” for us, I still often feel very forgotten by people I thought would never forget. I’m still scared. I’m still clinging.

I feel sinful that my heart also feels this way. Covt Pres has been awesome, looked after us, counseled and guided us, but like you, we have not really had true fellowship in several years either. I see women around me at church making plans, doing things together, going to the beach for the weekend, etc. I’m no longer asked. But my expectations are too high. This painful stuff is hard for people. They no longer know how to deal with it. At first, everyone comes around, then they are uncomfortable. If only they could see what people who have cancer or other serious illness need the most is first “them”, and secondly, and serving they may want to do. I’m still scared too Angie. Scared about my illness, scared about Gregs, scared about so many things we are facing. BUT, just like you, we keep going on, trusting God. And I STILL believe,
and He is STILL with us,
and He is STILL caring for us and blessing us in mighty ways,
and He STILL hears our prayers for each other. Love you Angie. Hope next week gets here and goes by very quickly for you. Loving and praying for you. Carol (and Greg)
