In one breath I would curse God, and in the next beg forgiveness for what I had said. No matter how hard I fought, I kept turning back to Him.<br />I think that is because He is still in my heart, like a first love. That no matter how angry I get, I still hope I'm wrong. I hope he will prove me wrong. I hope it will all work out and He will be glorified. Then again, I wonder if there is a purpose in all the suffering? Or if we just say that when we reach a place of relief, to make ourselves feel better?<br />Regardless, I know God is God. He is the big boss. And no matter how hard I fight, I can't win.<br />So I surrender, sometimes begrudgingly. Because I would rather be on his side, than not. And I still hope that He will prove me wrong. That he will show me the truth and his love and mercy.mintoreo96noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482568521862918483.post-18746115356405140622009-06-03T07:50:11.180-07:002009-06-03T07:50:11.180-07:00I sure love your heart and your willingness to be ...I sure love your heart and your willingness to be candid and ask the hard questions. I feel plagued at times with the hard questions and so unsure of the answers. The longer I am alive the more I suffer & see others suffer...it is hard to not let myself go to a bad place but continue to turn my face to the Lord. How do people do it without God?!? Anyway...so great to hear from you.Life as a Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764717219643208807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482568521862918483.post-90860816317726699602009-06-02T05:16:07.648-07:002009-06-02T05:16:07.648-07:00I have had the same thoughts after losing Marshall...I have had the same thoughts after losing Marshall. But I remember what Marshall spoke into me "It's gonna be OK, Daddy. God's gonna receive glory", and I trust that.(believe it or not, my 10 minute old son did speak to me) Now I see God as a big pillow, that I can rest my weary head, cry my tears and He'll soak them up, and pull Him close to me and scream my thoughts (whether they'll holy or not) and He'll listen. Thanks for being "real", John.Phil Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677155116745431292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482568521862918483.post-87526272186011973072009-06-01T14:38:57.932-07:002009-06-01T14:38:57.932-07:00Thank you for your transparency.
