I am an ungrateful servant, serving a God who is so loving and so good. He gave up His son and yet there is still so much I grasp at with closed fist and heart. Praying for you both. Thank you for your words of encouragement and honesty.sarifletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243845813859449231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-49875592701063731922012-05-23T11:30:10.637-04:002012-05-23T11:30:10.637-04:00Hi sweet friend,

I understand the sin churning unbelief ... but today God's Word encourages me " for when he has stood the TEST OF TIME" it truly is a test of time isn't it ... and with each passing moment of the day the TIME gets closer ... longing for heaven with you guys today.<br /><br />ShelleyShelleyhttp://stonesofremembrance2010.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-71692250235491410582012-05-23T11:02:10.934-04:002012-05-23T11:02:10.934-04:00Thank you for your words of encouragement (through...Thank you for your words of encouragement (through your honesty).

But the worst pain was feeling farther from God. You can't be close to Him, and be angry at Him, at the same time! Last night I finally let go of everything because I wanted to so badly to crawl into His lap...and I slept soundly for the first time in a couple weeks. I want Him more than I want to understand what's happening in my life. I want Him and more of Him, more than anything else! I pray the same for you also. Thank you to the commenter who mentioned the Everlasting Arms - someone else also just told me God has me in His arms.
