Hi...Im Spaceship's girlfriend and I wanted you to know that this post greatly encouraged me. Thank you for your honesty. Quite a refreshing end to a similarly-hurried/harried day, myself. May He bless you and your family.

I am glad it encouraged you! It has taken me a long time to accept some of the circumstances I have been handed, and it's taken me a long time to honestly, truly be consistent in holding on to God through anything (I'm sure I still need work on that too). In the past I've done things from obedience, hoping that God's promises to me would come through, but almost doubting He had the best interests in mind. At least in some situations, I'm finally coming to that deep, deep realization that I'm holding on to him out of an honest-to-goodness faith and strong belief that He can bring something good from that situation. It's a strangely marvelous sensation, and I pray that this isn't just a "phase" that I allow to fade away.

It's humbling to see how much God has woven things together in such a beautifully intricate way to get me to where I am today.

Anyhow, do you mind if I add you as a friend? I pray that God blesses you and your family (including Significant Others.. ;) ) as well. :D

absolutely add me as a friend. I'd like that as well.

Yes, I'd agree about the faith situation. My experiences have shaded my own perception of God and grace and faith, the latter being something of MUCH importance on my prayer list. Seriously, we cannot PLEASE him without it. You know? How huge is that? I, too, struggled with holding onto His hand through all circumstances. My new relationship is one of them...what a total and utter blessing he is. But, really, what in the world goes on in my head and heart (doubts, fears, past vs. present)! It's an area in which the LORD is carefully, mindfully, painfully-still dealing with. I trust, though, that in all things (ALL THINGS) He is faithful to complete what He started if we remain in Him.

Ok, so, yes...lets me friends. haha.
