I know I've been there. But, like you, my faith is strong and I know God sees the whole picture whereas my view is limited. I have to trust that He is good and knows what He is doing. I love that song by Gungor. I've loved it from the first time I heard it. :) Blessings and peace to you, dear sister.

He told us that it is in the wrestling that we draw closest to God, as we dare to be ourselves before Him and he told us that he thinks often God is waiting for us to get real with Him, to stop pretending to be pious and tell Him just how we feel. He pointed out that parents do the same with their kids: when they learn to walk they don't chastise them as they fall, yet lovingly, reassuringly encourage them further. Letting us falll to help us grow.<br /><br />Hugs to you today from afar and praying you and all those dear to Laura, and especially her children, feel God's strong arms around you.

What a beautiful testimony, Tara. Thank you for being a light for all those in the midst of suffering. I love what you said, "I wonder if I am being a very good christian at all." I think so many of us struggle with that emotion. What a beautiful way you lead us away from that wonder and to the truth of our wonderful God. Praying for you tonight, Tara!

We need to ask those hard questions so we can continue to walk forward in faith. Please know I have felt like you and have asked the hard "whys". Also know I will be praying as you walk with your friend, Laura, through her final days. Blessings and hugs!Mary Geisenhttp://www.passagethroughgrace.comnoreply@blogger.com
