...Joyce I had to smile when I read your your words:<br /><br />"why do you never give me a choice between two good things? Why do I always have to chose between two choices that are both bad?"<br /><br />I can SO relate!<br /><br />I find your candor refreshing. Such painful, confusing, stuff happens sometimes. While I'm grateful to know that God's got it in control, and that He never leaves me, these truths do not diminish my human experiences. We do have hope in Him, and I'm grateful that we have other Christians too.Tracyhttp://abundantliving-tracy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947901677057635396.post-27509693423890882382010-09-28T17:01:10.092-04:002010-09-28T17:01:10.092-04:00yes, it is hard, isn't it.yes, it is hard, isn't it.Joycehttp://ageofhopeministries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947901677057635396.post-75760549750151481542010-09-28T15:19:12.575-04:002010-09-28T15:19:12.575-04:00It's funny, a lot of us quote the title or por...It's funny, a lot of us quote the title or portion there of, of the book " When Bad Things Happen to Good People.". I was at a Library today and there was a used copy that I purchased. I have read it, but I wondered if I would garner any new insights. Then, I read your blog. I too have some hard questions for the Lord...like why did my son, my brother, two cousins and an uncle have to die by committing suicide? Why didn't God intervene?... When I was being abused as a young child...why didn't He protect me? There are many other questions as to why God allows suffering in the world...Why was school so hard for me? I guess they can be summed up as to why does God not intervene when He can.<br />Does this mean I am going to be faced with very hard things in the future for which I will have no answers? I am sure there are going to be such things.<br />For me, I guess I would like to ask these and other questions and I do ask them at times. I don't think we are punished for asking honest questions.Yet the Lord says in His word that His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways higher than ours.<br />Sometimes hearing that and considering the implications, it helps.<br />It sure is a walk of faith when there seems to be no ready answer(s) but it is hard...it really is.<br />If anyone says it never is...I really don't believe them.<br />Thanks for your honest sharing.<br />LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947901677057635396.post-67916001607738349872010-09-28T10:38:45.558-04:002010-09-28T10:38:45.558-04:00Trust Him, when nothing really seems to make sense...Trust Him, when nothing really seems to make sense in life. Trusting has always been hard for me. Crazy as it sounds I don't know what I am gifted at, that is a large part of my frustration. I truely understand what you are saying, this is exactly the same way I feel. Thank you, for sharing it really spoke to my heart and helped me to realize I am not the only one out here in this world who has questions. But I am thankful that though it be hard to do we must Trust God, He knows best.Angienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947901677057635396.post-76350745460073821802010-09-28T08:21:27.060-04:002010-09-28T08:21:27.060-04:00Wow - it is easy for me to forget how tough the de...Wow - it is easy for me to forget how tough the desert can be. To be in a place that has little life, little refreshment, and little fellowship.<br /><br />I don't believe the Lord has ever said, "trust me", to me.<br /><br />I am glad that even in the dark night, He is encouraging you.<br /><br />Thanks for the message of faith - believing in that which is unseen.Davidhttp://www.fireandgrace.comnoreply@blogger.com
