Maybe that's the truth of the matter right there. Because without affliction or sorrow we can't know good or happiness.

In a sense, it is a promise that we will be afflicted. Not something we want to hear huh? There is so much in that chapter. I will be praying for you as you are going through hard times - times of affliction. The think the worst afflictions are those that affect us emotionally.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712508409234283378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-66579708613929552692008-10-02T23:14:00.000-04:002008-10-02T23:14:00.000-04:00Such good words...so transparent and honest.

Thank you for always sharing the realness of your heart and not just on the good days, it helps others to feel so okay with where they may be at (yes me). I am so thankful God has blessed you with your husband! I will keep on praying for you Kristy.

You are absolutely beautiful and I don't know why He picked you for this either, but I know He is honored by the way that you continue to fight to be always in His will in these extreme times.

I would never have chosen the path of my life. Nor would I want to miss the blessings I have received because of the afflictions. You're right it is such a tug. I know Jesus better than I ever would have. And I suppose that is what is most important to Him.<BR/><BR/>Don't let satan's lies take root. You are trustworthy with all that God has given you. He makes no mistakes! None. As hard as that is to understand.

You are so precious to share your life with all of us blog readers...and what an amazing blessing it is to be able to support you in prayer. Isn't God good to bond us with people (even ones we haven't actually met)to help us and encourage us? I have had that experience many times, myself, and look back and see God's hand. You are in my prayers, sweet Kristy.

This post just makes me want to do this. That verse. Oh my goodness,Kristy. I think of your circumstances and then mine. Why does He think we can do this? AND acknowledge that it's all good?! I agree...not so much:). <BR/><BR/>I've read your words a few times and as I pray I think for me, God's just reminding me that although so much has been brought my way from the enemy, none of it goes without passing through Him first. Yeah, hate that part...cause then we get into knowing that He could have stopped it. All in all, it's so complex but I think it just comes down to us loving Him with a child like heart and truly recognizing that He is omnipotent and there's just some stuff we won't understand until we are graced with seeing Him face to face.<BR/><BR/>I'm praying. Our journeys are so different but yet we seem to be growing in such similar ways. I love you girl, more than you know.
