I still don't understand that. Maybe it's about obedience. Maybe faith. Or maybe I don't know my Father's voice as well as I should. In any case, He never fails to rescue me and set me on a new path. But it's still so hard!

But for some reason, I guess in my human mind and body that is so easy for me to forget.

So big that he held the seas in the hollow of his hand. Certainly big enough to take care of my problems--allow those problems in the journey to being made more like His son. <br /><br />Maybe I don't think He's big enough. Or maybe I think He's too big and I'm too small. Certainly He knows us through and through, our Debra E.

I've noticed a lot more 'struggle' lately and think it's hard to live in these times and keep straight with God. Evil is everywhere and it's so defeating to have to worry about which TV program to watch and who to listen to along with your own everyday problems.

Especially if you're dealing with something that is on-going and seems never-ending. I don't know why I don't always do this first, but whenever I put all my faith in Him and pray with the knowledge that I'm not going through this alone, He always shows me a way to get through the day.Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-21395744264827163452009-11-08T13:14:55.522-05:002009-11-08T13:14:55.522-05:00What a beautiful post...I believe in God's tim...What a beautiful post...I believe in God's timing...for He know what is best for us all.<br /><br />karen k<br />kmkuka(at)yahoo(Dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-72571809969888552542009-11-08T13:14:50.412-05:002009-11-08T13:14:50.412-05:00What a beautiful post...I believe in God's tim...What a beautiful post...I believe in God's timing...for He know what is best for us all.<br /><br />karen k<br />kmkuka(at)yahoo(Dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-6348354622062127712009-11-08T09:48:27.653-05:002009-11-08T09:48:27.653-05:00You brought me to tears today Jill.

To keep trudging through the mire, even when it's so deep that it comes up to my chin and I feel like I'm about to drown. At times I question the value of continuing to pursue my dreams. I can't see any way to get from here to there. <br /><br Lisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.com
