I can relate, but praise God He got your attention and that you changed the direction of your flight. I ran — hard — and then spent 18 years trying to be invisible. It was only when I fled into His arms, threw myself at His merciful, loving feet and learned to abide in Him that I’ve learned the meaning of joy and true peace. It’s only when I get up from that spot and let myself start drowning that I lose sight of all He has taught me — it is never that He has left me — it is always that I leave Him, believing the strength He has given me has made me able to do it on my own, freeing Him for the ‘more important’ people who need him. What a fool I am, but He loves me still.

This touched me. I’m glad to know I’ll meet you someday — when we are all home!

And our family’s love gives us the support and inspiration to face the storms. Thanks for sharing this post. Makes me feel that I am not alone in this world. All of us have our crosses to bear and it makes a difference when we have someone to help us carry the burdens. Wishing you all the best.

And man, thank you for reminding me that He loves me . . . for some reason, that always helps, always makes me feel better and safer. And that is such a powerful reminder–that he will never leave us. It’s so good to see you here–stay blessed!! xo

I’m not a very verbal person to begin with, but I feel that nothing I say will sound quite right… or will be quite supportive enough… or be just… enough, somehow. But please know I sincerely hope you find that place you are looking for… that only good things meet you there, and that you encounter only good things on your journey. I can tell you are an incredibly strong person… and I feel like if anyone can do it, you can (and will), El.

I am thinking, and trying to figure out what He wants me to do. Much love and so much gratitude to you. ~el

Thank you especially for encouraging me to keep talking and writing about Him. For some reason, I often feel stymied or scared to do this, as if I would get it wrong, or even worse, as if my intelligence or sanity will be questioned by skeptics or nonbelievers. Then I remind myself that we’re supposed to testify for Him . . . and more importantly, who cares what mere humans say? What really matters is what He says! Thank you for encouraging me!

As I am honored to know you! Big hugs right back, and many blessings!

Yes–well-said re the “curtain that falls over our ability . . .” and I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved ones. It always amazes me, now that I’m healthy, just how warped my reason had been when I was self-destructive. How could I have been so blind? I don’t get mad at myself when I ask these questions, no more than I get angry when friends of mine feel desperate in a similar way now. All I can do is live a good life going forward, and hope I can show my children the way to do the same.

And like you, I hold tight to my beliefs and I do know He is with us. Bless you too, my friend.
