That was beautiful and i am sure someone, like me has been encouraged by your sharing. i have been a christian since i was sixteen, even though i dont go to church. i am about to lose everything, my home, my well being. honestly i have been mad at God because i had so much faith that he would help me. i am ashamed that i could mad at such a devine God and i think he accepted my apologies. i think he is trying to teach me to do a lot more for myself, improve my self esteem, avoid the fears that the devil introduces me to and still know that he has a plan for me, i just have to wait and see what it is. prayers to everyone, not just today, but everyday as we see each other on here reaching out to strangers, or are we, we could be the chosen few. gee i get philosophical and sentimental at times. we all need love but we have to love ourselves first. hope everyone who reads your blog will be blessed, as i am, thanks for sharing
