Some of us talk outside and beyond the blogland and reveal more of ourselves to our friends, but not everyone does...<BR/><BR/>I can understand your reality in ways - we've some similarities. Up until Blair took this job out west, we too lived way below that line - our heads are above water now, but the cost is great..having him gone for months on end is heart wrenching.... and we also have a disabled family member, though it's our child, not my husband. I can only imagine the challenges that you face when it's your own mate, your life partner, who is the one who needs to be cared for like that. <3 ..... <BR/><BR/>k, look at me rattling on in your blog again LOL ..on that note, let me just say that I'm very thankful that our paths crossed - you speak of your friends blessing you; it works the other way 'round too - you're a blessing in the lives of others! <BR/><BR/>>^..^<molytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998928076467405984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-78932880705934725482008-04-25T08:40:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:40:00.000-07:00I have to say I dont have any real hardships in my...I have to say I dont have any real hardships in my life.

I don't like being misunderstood and I often don't have the time to write a novel to cover all my bases.<BR/><BR/>And yet, I appreciate those that provide small glimpses into their real world. I pray for them as the Lord directs and I don't feel so alone in the struggles of life.<BR/><BR/>With that, I appreciate you Ganeida. You bring a different perspective that stretches me. Oh, and thank you for not giving up on me when I go through long stretches of being an absent blogger. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-48087749719415202252008-04-23T14:56:00.000-07:002008-04-23T14:56:00.000-07:00Thanks, I needed an extra dose of reality today, w...Thanks, I needed an extra dose of reality today, what with "that time of the month," no sleep, rain again, a trip to the dentist tomorrow...<BR/><BR/>It's funny the things we will say publicly and the things we won't say.<BR/><BR/>If you can laugh at it, you can live with it. <BR/><BR/>God bless you, sis; you sure bless me.MamaOlivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917138266127672566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-60917030160222492662008-04-23T04:33:00.000-07:002008-04-23T04:33:00.000-07:00I understand completely.

Thank God for a Savior who underatands out frailties having been made human as well. <BR/><BR/>One time I read, (Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life, Chapter 2, obviously it was pretty insightful that I even remembered the chapter!)spoke of our trials and such. God's hand was in the midst of each of those trials. If one of our purposes is to be more like Christ, these trials are used by God to mold us more and more into the image of His Beloved Son. He uses every single hurt and painful circumstance to accomplish that goal. In the words of our Pastor Toby,<BR/>"God never wastes a hurt!"<BR/>Connie<BR/><BR/>Toby's new series begins this Sunday and I believe my testimony is to be used for week 2. I will let everyone know as soon as it goes up online.Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748558090320737035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-72692879400847297332008-04-22T18:37:00.000-07:002008-04-22T18:37:00.000-07:00One of the things I will share here is that my las...One of the things I will share here is that my last visit with you was one of the most sustaining and spiritually nourishing experiences I've had for some time.
