It is what I've needed to hear.<BR/>I've been asking God in my struggle, "Why can't I do this?" All the while implying and knowing He is with me I still complain that it is TOO HARD. <BR/>I'm trying to say "Yes" in submission to the Lord on this struggle, but I just keep failing. It's words like you have shared in this post that help me. Thanks, Karen!<BR/>Much love to you,<BR/>Rachel <><Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844422388378500327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-4225147813041222212008-01-08T14:44:00.000-05:002008-01-08T14:44:00.000-05:00As a woman, wife, mother - who is utterly and unas...As a woman, wife, mother - who is utterly and unashamedly dependant on Him...I am ever so grateful to have this aspect of our faith, that as we fix our eyes on Him, everything else seems to change in perspective...as I read your post, when I got to the part about the silver...(which I completely concur, of course!) I thought right away of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego...He was right there with them, in the fire! I LOVE that, and they were set free in that fire, when they came out, they didn't even smell like fire! What JOY! He is with us in the fire!<BR/><BR/>So thank you for your gifts! Thank you for the inspiration!She Rose Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468898873508947166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-23054998949187382242008-01-07T22:36:00.000-05:002008-01-07T22:36:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting Karen.

There are more thoughts rolling around in my head, but I'm too tired for any of it to make sense. Will write more soon.happyhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617105286280020861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-61912141895147645932008-01-07T13:46:00.000-05:002008-01-07T13:46:00.000-05:00Thank you for your honesty and being so open.

And also, as a non-mom, I realized that in ALL circumstances HOPE can override any bad whatevers. You are finding joy in mothering - and I am learning to find joy in nto being a mom. Moms come to your site to get encouragement... and they find it. I come to your site to learn from you in a spiritual sense. And I find it. I praise God for you and for the anointing He has placed over you! Surely, He has wonderful plans for us, doesn't He? And look how far He's brought us! Yay! And every day that passes is one day less until we see Him face to face at the second coming, not so? c",)Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177886204147122979noreply@blogger.com
