Bible Note: Hi Ocelot - You know, I've always said we constantly have something else to learn (especially where Christ and the Bible are involved!) Someone else wrote with some verses from Philippians and at first I thot "not what I wanted to hear"(which brings pain, but a lot of times we don't grow without it)- but you're absolutely right - we come full circle back to "self"(sin, satan, etc) I have apologized and gone back to my knees, but the big problem remaining-is that I have no idea what they are talking about--and no one will tell me--(except they've said they all have different issues-also, all but one are in different states) so I am driving blind!! My husband left us right after my 4th baby was born, so at times it got pretty tough, but I always worked one(and sometime 2 jobs),and fortunately, I was energetic, optimistic, we stayed in Sunday school and church, I was part of everything at school and after(sports, science fairs, scouts, drill team, hiked, camped, fished, etc--we were just a "package deal" - my youngest son went 'home' to be with the Lord 10 years ago and initially, this came near to that pain - our life has been a 'tried and true' miracle of God-my children were taught that He was the Father of our household--He kept His hand on us and we truly had very few problems - just that we lived was miraculous in itself-(He has delivered us and He will deliver..(2Cor 1:10)!!My children are all in stable Christian marriages and all my 9 grandchildren also know the Lord-we have been so richly blessed!!! and now this(I guess that's why I snagged on satan weaseling thru the cracks(Ephe 6:11) - I'm pretty sick now so that may be overshadowing this also?! BUT I loved your closing-for me to take care of WHAT I can take care of because God is not a God of confusion(1st Cor 14:33)(kind of back to the "praying hands" and He certainly knows what satan's doing-He's able to go there-I'm not! THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE and CARING ENOUGH TO DO THAT(2Cor 1:..3-4)!!!In Christ-barbee |
