I have been remiss in visiting because I ha...Karen,<br />I have been remiss in visiting because I hadn't seen new postings for awhile. Yes, it is a roller coaster for many. There are many ideas out there about suffering, and most of them suck when it is on us. No matter what, He doesn't leave us or forsake us. Imagine Jesus sweating blood knowing He would suffer such pain and humiliation in just a short while. The ones who were his friends would not be there for him.<br /><br />I guess all I can do is offer some healing hands and some compassion in knowing to some degree what grace can get us through. Stalker friends? or judging children or autoimmune disease or preparing to say goodbye to a beautiful best friend...all thorns. <br /><br /> I have enjoyed singing so much again. I'm sure it has helped balance the blood chemistry. And holding a new grand baby has been so therapeutic.<br /><br />He said before he left that he left us his peace. Sometimes I forget to grab ahold of that. I take my eyes off and sink into the sea of hopelessness. Taking the thoughts captive as much as we are able is the greatest struggle of life.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113867992356541967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19314545.post-4129493956848799162009-08-25T19:59:53.104-05:002009-08-25T19:59:53.104-05:00Love your brave and generous heart!

It's interesting that we're both suffering similarly and looking into the same work. And that pharmacy you have there looks like my bed-side table collection. :)<br /><br />It's a very good thing to know that God can handle our anger, better than we could ever imagine. Grace #2 was a sweet gift.<br /><br />I'm praying for you.
