Today my heart is heavy. I am sad about what has happened in the years of life. I am thankful for how God has redeemed it. I am grieved at our family's grief and wish it did not affect each of us so. I pray that God will tenderly guide me through my current state to be nearer to him, and closer to reconciliation.
Please pray. God is good. He is always faithful. I need wisdom. I need patience to wade through the muck and mire of past memories in order to clean out footholds of bitterness. Freedom will come. I am sure of it. I have seen it. I want it. I just need faith that things will change.
And now for a bit of truth -
Psalm 18:1-3
I love you, O LORD , my strength.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the LORD , who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.

"Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." - Hosea 6:1-3
Right-E-O
Haven't talked to you in a few days. Sounds like today was/is a hard one. I know how the past can creep up sometimes and leave us a little wobbly. Persevere my friend things will get better.
I saw your note on my site. I need to get out of this apartment because I've been struggling so often with my roommate and with the other relationships in this place. Bringing five girls together who don't all fully know each other is hard hard hard. And per usual when something hard in life happens it affects whether for good or for bad our (my) relationship with God.
So even if I'm going home or staying here... I just need to get going :)
Keep your chin up!
Love you
Char
