Hm yes, yes, I do believe you were right

I realized tonight that the reason i was feeling so insufficient ineffective frightened and quite looser-esq was because i had elevated my self to the position of the center of my prayers. Never a good idea. The center of (especially!!!) Our prayers should be the Lord. Not how we feel but what His will is, not what I want but where He wants to

Hmmmm, sounds like someone's on to something;) It's amazing how when we tell ourselves to stop being a whiny little (insert harsh word here) and then praise the Lord for what's going on, we start seeing that things really aren't that bad.

Chin up little sister, you done been beating yourself up and letting things beat you up. Smile for me will ya, laugh every once in a while or something, cause in the end you're gonna be fine. Don't lose sight of the fact that you asked God for things and He's using all this to get you where you wanted to go. I admire you a lot, just so you know and you are a huge encouragement to so many people. Not to pat you on the back but rather to let you know that things ain't so bad.

God is the only constant thing we have, and that can pretty much keep you steady through anything. Chin up, you'll be fine.

you are definately onto something here......you put it really honestly as well, i like it and its all true. im disliking how we can box God at times or not see how He has it all in His hands you know, saying it but not truely believing it and letting ourselves be tossed to and fro by the waves.........prayers sister x

thanks bro, it was encouraging.

thanks laura you're great. I want to send something with isaac for you when he gets to N. Ireland but i'm not sure what. I'll probably make you something cool, but is there anything specifically American you want that i can get for you? Just thought i would ask ahead of time so i have time to execute my plan. God bless

so it helps when you hit "reply to this" whenever you are trying to reply to something someone said, otherwise they will probably not get it because livejournal won't notify them that you replied to them. just to let you know.

hey puddlejumper,

thank you for that word. it's nice to be reminded that we'll get nowhere focusing on ourselves but we'll have eveything we need when we focus on Him. isn't it awesome that our Daddy love us so much?

many blessings,
