You truly do know that you and God together will make it through. I can feel it in your words!<br /><br />Anything in particular weighing you down? Or just the typical twists and turns life gives to us?<br /><br />Hugs!An Ordinary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497066145696617241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001874016534429126.post-29226326152254883292010-02-08T14:12:49.197-07:002010-02-08T14:12:49.197-07:00If I had read this post when you originally wrote ...If I had read this post when you originally wrote it, I could have easily commiserated. A few weeks ago, I hit the lowest low that I've hit in a really really long time; but God met me in that place in a very real and quietly powerful way. At my darkest hour, I read through a few Psalms and wept myself to sleep. The next morning, I awoke with a very vivid sense of peace and His precious words, "His mercies are new every morning," clearly etched in my mind. I had such a tangible feeling of having experienced a spiritual healing and renewal while I slept. I can't say that I've ever experienced such so dramatically before. Since then, life has been looping back up, not because the circumstances have changed all that much, but that the Holy Spirit is strengthening me where I was trying to do it in my own strength (even when I thought I was relying on Him) before. I'm praying for you, that you too will have a real sense of His presence and comfort in your life, and that His power would be perfected in your weakness. God is truly loving, compassionate, and personal. <br /><br />I love you, friend. I have missed you too!EEEEMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08152965556780402197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001874016534429126.post-15261028220172198072010-01-26T18:49:17.861-07:002010-01-26T18:49:17.861-07:00I'm sorry you are struggling so much Dedee.

I'm happy to hear that you do have faith that it will be okay eventually, sometimes those moments of knowing that are all that can pull a girl through the rough spots.

It isn't fair to have a best friend so far away during such times.<br /><br />You wrote this so beautifully - it echoes my own loopty-looping heart. I desperately hope your upswing comes soon. I hate to see you hurting, but then again, I love to see you being YOU. Open. Genuine.
