Nothing is as wonderful, as comforting to me as to remind myself that at any moment of my life, the Lord is with me. "Alone with God in the rain." you wrote.

Been hurting badly this week as it has been raining =( so I understand the need to be alone and hide. I LOVE how you said Jesus was not half man and half God but 100% man and 100% God, therefore it comforts me to know that he understands ALL of my sufferings (and joys). I think that has been what I have learned most from having a disability. Lean on God. He know everything about me inside and out. What a comfort it is to me. No human friend or relative knows this. I don't have to even speak to God and He can tell what is going on. And He can speak back to me in His Word as you so eloquently spoke here. Thanks for this beautiful post.

Wish I could put into poetry how I feel sometimes. I try but then I'm afraid to publish it. I've just written a poem about my mother and the trials that we have gone through over the years but every time I read it I wish I was better at writing. Hugs and prayers for you.

I can not even begin to say I know how he felt because I was not inside of his body. What I can say is that my husband was a very strong, hard working man and I watched him slowly give up, little by little until one day, he gave into the drugs and they over took him. After 25 years of marriage and 33 years of friendship, he walked away from his family and his two children to wallow in his anguish.<br>I'm glad that you do not give into the drugs. Some days I know you have no choice but to depend on them is dangerous.<br>I am so sorry you live in constant pain. It wears you out and takes away your joy and causes so much stress, even sleeping is a chore.<br>Writing is such an awesome way of releasing things. I think you should write all the poetry that you can put on paper and share with others. I use to feel that way about my poetry until I shared it with someone one day and then everyone started asking to see my poetry. I've even been published a few times.<br>God bless.<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655038913540975453.post-70374443884341600582006-05-12T16:39:00.000-04:002006-05-12T16:39:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for your wise and inspirational ...Thank you so much for your wise and inspirational thoughts. Way back in 1988, sitting at a table with a friend of mine who also had a debilitating illness, I asked her how she could live with the pain. Depression was overwhelming me with mine. Her answer, make a friend of the pain. I have, although I am not always happy with my friend. And I have assurance in the Lord that healing will come in His time, not mine.

That is why some who have been running from him have refered to him as the Hound of Heaven. That is why so many who have stopped and turned to His presence can sing with joy, What a Friend We Have in Jesus. - BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
