God's Way III

Mon Jan 12, 2009, 12:43 AM
  • Mood: Emotional
  • Reading: The Bible
Lately, I’ve been having a real emotional rollercoaster.

It’s embarrassing, it’s humiliating, it’s pathetic and I hate myself for how I’ve acted and felt.

Combined with some worrying health issues that make me anemic and feel like I’ve been PMSing for the past two months

And now some stressful family issues

I’ve been in tears far too much lately.

I listen to Air1 and subscribe to their Verse of the Day. This is why I support Air1; God works through them.

Daily Verse Jan 8th, 2009: John 16:33 – “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Daily Verse Jan 9th, 2009: 2 Corinthians 4:17 – For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever.

Daily Verse Jan 10th, 2009: Philippians 4:6 – Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Daily Verse Jan 11th, 2009: 1 Peter 5:7 – Give all your cares and worries to God, for He cares about you.

Yet God has been looking over me, as indirectly as it may be. God watches over us all and knows exactly what we’re going through and why and He will never burden us too heavily. He knows that we are able to cope with all the challenges He presents us, and gives us the encouragement we need.

I hope and pray that I can remember that God believes in me, that He believes I’m strong enough for the trials and adversities ahead of me, that He sees and knows the greater picture.

Please pray for me, my friends. Pray that I’ll have the strength and courage and wisdom to triumph, that I can bear these burdens I have, that I can become the person God wants me to be.

Pray for my parents, that my mom has strength and my dad has understanding.

I like to think that life is like a river that flows through all of us... the river is in all of us, and we all make up the river. And things happen because they must - it is an unavoidable part of being in the river, with all its twists and turns. I step back from my present situation, and just watch the river, and everything is OK. You might call the river God, but I think we are saying the same thing.

I hope you can find some peace in your mind.

that's an interesting take on it...

but i think you're right; we might be saying the same thing

Hi Rosie,

Have a look at my crucifixion painting. I painted that while I was going through a divorce and in much pain. Spending months painting God's suffering put my own pain into perspective.

I have a simple philosophy for life. I try to make at least one person smile every day.

i did, thank you. i can't imagine how amazing it would feel to see the original painting in person and on such a large scale. must have been like another form of therapy
