I can instantly judge her mood, spot the nuance in a word, tone of voice, body language.<BR/><BR/>You know of experiences of her do you really know her? Do any of us really KNOW another? What if you are getting to know each other, can you believe that in the curiousity of this getting to really know each other, there could be Hope in Him?Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805941956462456865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-10728188869522298012007-12-13T19:37:00.000-08:002007-12-13T19:37:00.000-08:00whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwYou are loved.whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww<BR/>You are loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-73011473104053977802007-12-13T17:50:00.000-08:002007-12-13T17:50:00.000-08:00Brother, I've been away...not much time now..HE is...Brother, I've been away...not much time now..HE is Hope..He is the living breathing HOPE...Jada's Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788954125336097153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-55144250105141987212007-12-13T01:42:00.000-08:002007-12-13T01:42:00.000-08:00May the Holy Spirit apply the balm of Gilead on yo...May the Holy Spirit apply the balm of Gilead on your heart, mind ,body and soul Will.<BR/><BR/>Real change will take place in Brenda 's life if she is regernerated from the inside not just her outward behaviour patterns.Pray that happens, she has to meet God face to face.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887884977787790642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-53950752144392124172007-12-12T21:37:00.000-08:002007-12-12T21:37:00.000-08:00GOOD.

Psalm 13:12<BR/><BR/>Hope deferred makes the heart sick. No kidding, eh?! Continuing to pray, that your desire would be fulfilled. That you would find the healing you need regardless of what Brenda chooses for herself. That you would see yourself clearly as the beautiful creation you are. Oh... and that you would spend some quality time with your family doctor.<BR/><BR/>We are for you.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979627849688965995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-23008231962075412682007-12-12T19:10:00.000-08:002007-12-12T19:10:00.000-08:00You are NOT an idiot.

You are in a sinkhole that seems to give you no way out.<BR/>There IS an answer, it just hasn't been discovered or revealed yet.<BR/>In the meantime, you hang on for dear life, hoping (yes, hoping)for the One who is HOPE, to reveal Himself clearly in these tough times and in the grey areas of your life where answers are harder to see.<BR/>Give it TIME and WAIT.<BR/>That's my encouragment to you.<BR/>SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-26981573854938258452007-12-12T19:02:00.000-08:002007-12-12T19:02:00.000-08:00Oh, gosh, Will.

Either we all are or none of us are.<BR/><BR/>I so understand ... where you are ... the thin thread that no longer exists ... trying to hold on ... but finding nothing to hold on to ... trying to find hope when hope is elusive, at best. The mental agony of being strewn from one end of the spectrum to the other ... wondering from moment to moment if the marriage will survive ... if you can trust her ... knowing you cannot ... but longing to ... hoping there will be a time when you can ... doubtful it will ever come ... longing for it TO come ... wondering if you can survive either way ... wanting to give into the tidal wave whose under tow is sucking you in ... knowing you can't ... wishing you didn't exist at all ... knowing you have no control over your existance as you are not Creator.<BR/><BR/>The verses you quoted are powerful.<BR/><BR/>I've been struggling with hope lately. It seems so elusive. My faith is tested and stretched till I wonder if it exists at all ... till I wonder how I ever had it to begin with. <BR/><BR/>I've been where Job was in those verses, even with children. It shocked me to get there, but there I did get. I thought that by knowing his life I could avoid walking through parts of it ... I've not avoided one part of Job. <BR/><BR/>My friend, Heather, always tells me ... just do what is in front of you. That's all I can do most days ... just what is in front of me. Too overwhelming to look any further than that.<BR/><BR/>You are not an idiot. But if you are, I am, too, and welcome to the party!!!Amehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358641966141610513noreply@blogger.com
