You have a good start with those 5. What to try the challenge too? Maybe it will help turn our attitudes around a bit.I Believe in Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062124038472752680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135874833991283867.post-79766196522740231542008-07-01T11:03:00.000-04:002008-07-01T11:03:00.000-04:00I can very much relate to your post.

It is a time and place for submission of my needs, a chance to refuel, an opportunity to find friendships, a place of peace, and yes a message that always hits home. Like you, I sit there and wonder how the pastor knows me so well. But this, I think, is what most of the congregation feels. And so I am convinced that we all struggle with our own issues everyday. I can honestly say that it is the time of week where I feel I can empty my load and find the strength to move through the next week. It is just a suggestion. Know that I care about you a great deal.latenitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827368191214576157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135874833991283867.post-14972446270222135242008-06-30T22:57:00.000-04:002008-06-30T22:57:00.000-04:00Years ago, I went through some very challenging ti...Years ago, I went through some very challenging times where I questioned if God was really there, if he was listening to me, and even today I look around me and see pain and suffering that I wonder what the purpose is all about. I do know that time does put perspective on matters. And I do know that we are here on earth in His image. He has a plan. Not always the same plan as our own. We live in an age where we want things now and we want things our way and we think we are deserving. I don't think powers greater than ourselves see it quite this way. Sometimes the best way to deal with the challenge is to jump in with both feet and behave exactly the opposite of what we feel like behaving. Laugh when we want to cry. Attend a function that we don't want to. When we are needy we need to be cared for. And when we are needy we need to push ourselves to "do". "Do" whatever we can until we drop. It is a good diversion and God is watching. Blessings surround us. We just have to hit ourselves in the head sometimes to see them. I have an ole antique trunk that I have used in the past for the purpose of writing down something that I am in personal crisis over. I open the trunk and place my worries inside, shutting the lid. It is really the same concept as the knobs on the TV. Allow yourself to be angry and sad, but also give yourself the right to be free from your troubles. You will get throught this. I know it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
