Be thankful..

..for circumstances which cause you to resort to faith.

Off-topic note to self: I find it amusing that those who have encouraged me in the past are a little silently surprised at my improvement. Did they not really believe the encouragement they gave me? This is fine, because humility allows people like us to be better authentically ( Read more... )

I really am blessed, you know!!

I kind of like having this happen...not easy, but I feel free and happy....
I rely now on God for my life in its entirety. I have nothing except his love and he is the one that will restore me!

Hey you! Are you really? Can you honestly say that? I feel like I'm at that phase where I gloomily have to repeatedly convince myself, "I am thankful. Thank you God. Thank you for my suffering." I am so not near sainthood at this time. He has been very apparently talking to me through really fitting verses and circumstances, but I'm still not feeling it yet. See, I think my problem is overanalyzing.

You are such an inspiration!

I think you are way ahead of me. I am too cautious, I have to write everything down before I manage to stick my toe into the scary cold water. Even though I already know swimming is really nice and fun and refreshing.

You and Fox are in my prayers! <3

I BELIEVE YOU!! I do not think you are nuts at all :). I believe you because you always seem to write these things without seeking validation, in fact you seem to write it if it cost you validation. Maybe that's what happened with your husband..

I've never had any real apparent spiritual experience, never seen anything. But I get little things consistently enough to know it's no coincidence, and implications are too profound to ignore. You either live only to seek results, or you live for love regardless of... anything. I think that's what faith is, it's truly and sincerely choosing to love. And I do agree that more faith means more seeing..

<3 is supposed to look like a heart. Or I could've just used the html: &*hearts*; (without the asterisks) will look like ( ... )
