It has been years since I have been on here. I was encouraged to start back. Life has a way of creating u-turns or running you down a different path.
I hope to be more attentive to this and pray God gives me words. My life has always been unpredictable, but I know.....how am I different? Well I'm not--life IS unpredictable.
I have experienced wonderful highs and dreadful lows that made me question whether or not life was worth living. I must say, I am glad that I chose to keep living when I had those sort of times. I know that not everyone has been able to do that.
In the middle of those horrible times, we can't see past the pain. We can't see that there will ever be light that will shine in our dreaded darkness.
God has been so gracious, even when I haven't deserved GRACE.
We have never been promised an easy life. Have I been jealous of those who appeared to have the perfect life---YES! But I have learned, even those who appear to have a perfect life have their own demons. We only know what others want us to know. We all keep secrets. We all have battles in our minds.
I will never promise to have all of the answers--but I serve the ONE who does. The struggle is God always knows and we don't always know. What we have to learn to do is trust, and yes I realize that is not always easy.
I hope to bring you something weekly. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to express myself and my heart. You have a safe place to vent with me and I pray I share something that will give you hope. The world doesn't do a lot of that these days.
I pray we can find a place of love and support on this blogspot. God has blessed me--I want to give back.
I just wanted to say hello and pray to begin again.
Blessings

ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet response. Everyone has a story to tell...everyone has a life full of good and bad experiences. I pray anything that I may share will help someone realize that they are not alone and hopefully they will feel hope and encouragement.
