But I have n...Yes, I'm running a little late today. But I have not been venturing out too much lately and I guess my fingers are running a little slow.<BR/>Coming out of the dark--I have something to say!!!!!!!!<BR/>You follow Pastor Lisa's advice and you do you some screaming and crying out with all your worth. Part of the reason I was in the spot I was in was because when I saw I was on another trip around the same mountain--I got tired of being mad. Anger suppressed takes you to do not pass go go straight to depression.<BR/>I have been in a very dark spot.<BR/>You have got to do some screaming. Let it out. Yes, a lot of my screaming was silent but God heard it.<BR/>He has a plan. I have to remind myself of that when my hubby says he wants to look for a new job. Or the house I am living in--- a year almost after we tore down our old house---is a rental.<BR/>And then throw in a bunch of other stuff--and you got the mess that drives me crazy. Yes, all the up in the air stuff gets me too.<BR/><BR/>So you vent. Let it out. We don't want you to sour.<BR/>And then we will pray. Because We want to give the power to Him and not to satan.<BR/>I love you and if I could throw a rope in the fire and pull you out--I would. But just about the time you grabbed hold-pop-it would come right out with out you.<BR/>So stay in the fire and let him burn it off girl. We will come on in and walk around with you.....and Him.<BR/>Love ya girl ;)Sharon Brumfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662853880018410132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-70622727318625259582007-11-01T19:24:00.000-04:002007-11-01T19:24:00.000-04:00I am so sorry.

How do you balance the "let's have faith that God will pull us through" and just being plan dumb about things. I took this full-time job because we were struggling and really needed to pay down some debt. I prayed and it seemed like all the doors opened to let it happen. However, my house has suffered (not as clean as usual), the girls are tired because they have to get up SO much earlier, I have had a hard time taking off when they are out of school, etc. Its just been plain hard!!! I even told my mom the other day that maybe I didn't rely on the Lord or wait on the Lord long enough. Part of my motivation with this job was also to get a new house, etc. Would I like a "newer", slightly bigger house, you betcha, but do we "NEED" it, probably not. Its just so hard!!! I am definitely hitting my knees and really asking for the Lord to hit me over the head. Maybe I acted before He could!! Sorry, this is so long, I was just really feelin' ya!!! hahaTishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652811848007041463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-39602021579200711342007-11-01T09:31:00.000-04:002007-11-01T09:31:00.000-04:00I feel your pain and unfortunately, I have no answ...I feel your pain and unfortunately, I have no answers.

They are right on the money.<BR/><BR/>You've got my prayers. When it seems that you can't count on anything, count on the fact that you can trust the Heart of God. He knows how much you want to be obedient. He'll speak. He will.<BR/><BR/>Love you!!!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313514812844217885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-65799242688887674662007-10-31T16:40:00.000-04:002007-10-31T16:40:00.000-04:00Oh Nicki. Girl, you just don't even know how I ca...Oh Nicki. Girl, you just don't even know how I can relate! Listen girl, when I quit working to stay home with my kids 9 years ago I was making about $16/hr - 9 years ago! I have wrestled with going back to work soooooo many times and every time I dust off the old resume God gently reminds me that I'm called to be a mommy FIRST! He reminds me that HE is Jehovah-Jireh, NOT ME, NOT JIMMY - HIM! <BR/><BR/>First thing to do - PRAY. Then pray again and then finally pray again. Tell God what you need from Him - not because He needs to know (obviously) but because He needs YOU TO CONFESS IT! <BR/><BR/>I could tell you story after story after story about God providing for Jimmy and I. Once we had NO MONEY. I mean our checking acct was overdrawn by like, $100 or something, it was February - COLD - and the electric was off from someone crashing into a pole. It was getting dark and we had NO IDEA what we were gonna eat, how we would stay warm, where we could go. Don't you know that a friend showed up at our door because they were going to deliver a meal in this neighborhood to someone who had just had a baby but they got their nights mixed up and they already had food so they were just gonna stop by to see if we had dinner yet. GIRL! I'm telling you that I had no bread, no milk, no eggs, NOTHING and here was a complete meal! HOT MEAL AT THAT! Then while they were here the husband fixed our gas logs so that we would have heat. <BR/><BR/>Now, you just tell me that was coincidence! NEVER! That was Jehovah-Jireh showing up to my rescue!!! He did it for me, girl He'll do it for you. Just ask Him! <BR/><BR/>Sorry for going on but girl you PRAY. I will too! I love ya girl!<BR/>ValValariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889118194966934464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-4104241682602246532007-10-31T11:22:00.000-04:002007-10-31T11:22:00.000-04:00Pastor Lisa, Thanks so much for you wise words.......Pastor Lisa, <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for you wise words.....they mean so much to me today!! I so appreciate hearing other's insights who have walked these same steps and felt the same frustrations in life....and I love how you said God isn't hormonal or wishy washy!! =) You are so right!!<BR/>Thanks girl!!ThreeGirlyGirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083155721729508314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-36676421383331364322007-10-31T11:14:00.000-04:002007-10-31T11:14:00.000-04:00I cannot tell you how many times I have felt what ...I cannot tell you how many times I have felt what you are feeling. It's maddening when you're frustrated, not knowing where you're going, what's your next move. <BR/><BR/>You cry out to God...what in the world are you doing? What do you want from me? You scream and feel like God's not listening.<BR/><BR/>He is.<BR/><BR/>And He knows what He's doing.<BR/><BR/>I found comfort in His word a few weeks when I was in a similar spot.<BR/><BR/>My God has the final say so in every area of my life.<BR/><BR/>That's it.<BR/><BR/>I don't care what the bank says.<BR/><BR/>I don't care what else breaks.<BR/><BR/>I don't care what shuts down.<BR/><BR/>My daddy, my Abba has the FINAL say in everything. It ain't over till my Daddy says it's over!<BR/><BR/>Trust that He loves you and is fully aware of your situation. The devil tells you otherwise.<BR/><BR/>It's hard sitting on God's olive press. I begged to come from underneath it. He's bringing me out and for that I'm grateful.<BR/><BR/>Right now we're facing a tough situation but I refuse to stress...this time. God knows what he's doing. He has the final say so. And we learned Sunday that God is a God of absolutes. If He says you're blessed...then you're absolutely blessed. There are no if's, and's or but's about it.<BR/><BR/>God is not wishy-washy, nor is he hormonal or unstable. <BR/><BR/>You can trust Him with your life.<BR/><BR/>Even when you're angry, want to cry, have no clue and can't see your way...He's there. <BR/><BR/>Sitting still in a hard place can be nerve racking. It's easy to say we trust God...we sing along with Donnie McClurking...I trust you Lord...but it's easier said than done. <BR/><BR/>But I pray God's peace in this hard place. I pray you really come to a place of trusting the Father.<BR/><BR/>He comforted me.<BR/><BR/>I know He will comfort you.<BR/><BR/>He's a good daddy.<BR/><BR/>You are so in my prayers sweetie.<BR/><BR/>Love you.Lisa N Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314149954059373542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-87476199564089845102007-10-31T09:05:00.000-04:002007-10-31T09:05:00.000-04:00Thanks Aunt Karen, I always appreciate your insigh...Thanks Aunt Karen, I always appreciate your insight! I'll be intereasted to see what comes from this trip, we are so excited and now I'm even more curious!! =) <BR/><BR/>The girls can't wait to see you!!!

I agree, money just does not fall from the sky,(although I did ask plenty of times). I remember going through the the couch looking for change, going through old cloths hoping we left some money there, and rolling penny's just to get food for the kids.<BR/><BR/>If I could turn back time, I would have gotten a education. Now I have to do it at almost 50 so I can work at something that I am interested in, instead of working to work.<BR/><BR/>I don't know that what the future holds for you, but I recommend that you write down exactly what you want, how you see yourself, and then pray from that point.<BR/><BR/>Somehow I feel that something is going to change after you go to Coolidge, I don't know why, but when I read Sissys e-mail that you would be going there, I got this impression that this would would result in some kind of change. Maybe there is something to be learned, I really just do not know. I am thinking this will be a change for the good, so be patient and know what you want, so when the door opens you can go in.<BR/><BR/>I am suppose to be reading a assignment for English so I better get to it.<BR/><BR/>From my child development class, Kennedy is doing exactly what she is suppose to be doing at her age, and it will pass sooner than you think. Hang tough.<BR/><BR/>A happy day to you.<BR/><BR/>Aunt KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326478835690974297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-69866305081757120932007-10-30T22:13:00.000-04:002007-10-30T22:13:00.000-04:00friend i am not joking - you all need to pray abou...friend i am not joking - you all need to pray about moving here. there is one or 2 electricians in this whole area. the one we have hired that never shows up because he is sooooooooooooooooooo busy is just about the only one that anybody trusts... we need more great electricians!!! i am serious - hit your kness about that!!! come visit and then just stay!!!<BR/><BR/>love, LeighSpeaking Thru Me Ministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542399319346344561noreply@blogger.com
