Your strength and beautiful outlook are made that much more inspiring when you are transparent during the dark moments. It would be impossible to only be positive and happy every minute--thank you for your transparency, and now I know to pray that God will guard you against loneliness!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867656058895825645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-1162331811183235002006-10-31T15:56:00.000-06:002006-10-31T15:56:00.000-06:00Trish, Just want you to know I don't think your co...Trish, <BR/><BR/>Just want you to know I don't think your comments came across whiney at all. To me they were convicting of the priorities we are meant to have, but so often get out of order. GOD FIRST, then to really, REALLY show our families that they mean more than any job, pressure or social activity. You have always been really great at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-1162323144083849722006-10-31T13:32:00.000-06:002006-10-31T13:32:00.000-06:00I have great respect that although you are ashamed...I have great respect that although you are ashamed of yesterday's self-pity, you have left the post up. I have a theory in my own life: "The more transparent I am, the clearer God's light is going to shine through me." (of course this can't always work,b ecause some things need to be kept confidential, but you know what I mean.) That's what I see you doing here. Instead if hiding what you're feeling, you put it on here even if it means it's not the most Christ-like attitude to have. You then humble yourself about it without an insh of self-defense. THAT is what is really making Christ shine through you. Praise the Lord! Continuing to pray...<BR/><BR/>HeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-1162322658872680032006-10-31T13:24:00.000-06:002006-10-31T13:24:00.000-06:00I believe it is ok to let out those moments when y...I believe it is ok to let out those moments when you are frustrated. The Lord has made you to be very strong and brave, and you have been a true light for Him in that way. But, sometimes it helps to let those of us praying for you know when you are having a particularly rough day. Most importantly, you recognize when you need to vent and when you need to simply be thankful for His blessings. No "shame on you" here... only grace. Praying for you today :O).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
