ok, first let me apologise if there is anyone who has wondered what happened to the blogging. I have no excuse except to say - I stopped for a while.

Life is busy and life is hard right now around my home .. but I have reminded as of late that it is MUCH harder when we do it on our own and we forget how very loved and valued we are.

How might we answer that person who makes a snide comment about something we have said or done - IF we remembered how loved we were by Father?

How would we handle it when things happen that hurt IF we remembered how loved we were?

Circumstances will not necessarily change BUT there is peace in knowing that FATHER is in control and EVERYTHING from HIM is love and out of love for us.

A thought I was reminded of - when Jesus was in the garden, it was AFTER he surrendered that Father gave HIM strength to endure the cross. Before he surrender he was in agony .. at the very thought of what was ahead.

Surrender my friend, let go of the reigns and then strength will come ( strength will come as we wait upon the Lord right??)

Does that mean that it feels good and that it doesnt hurt? nope. That is beside the point and I am tired of people trying to tell others whether they have a right to be sad or upset.. IT DOESNT MATTER ..you feel how you feel. Just dont let them dictate your thought life and what you do.

Ok, enough of my vent for today ..
til next time
