| QUESTIONS
Thoughts flow through my mind Like a vast raging river Flooded with fears and doubts My body starts to shiver Is it sins from my past? Am I paying my dues? Is my faith being tested? Is my heart tried and true? Please tell me, God I listen for an answer Silence tears at my soul Destroying hope like a cancer If you’ll never leave me Why do I feel so alone? My soul grows weak and weary My heart cold like a stone Lord I am not strong How much more can I take? Like a delicate glass vessel I’m afraid I will break I know You’re the only one Who can meet my every need Please heal the ones I love, Lord This is my humble plea |

| This was heart wrenching to read and very poweful in the sheer honesty of it. You are not alone we will pray for you. Sometimes when we are overwhelmed by a thing or situation in a time of desperation we are unable to hear him, meditate on Him push past/through the fear and you will know that He never left your side whatever you are going through He is there with you. God Bless, I love you Sister and i have missed your precious gifts, we will be praying for you. What you wrote and shared is evidence of questions and prayers answered because it requires uncommon strength to do so and a strong Faith to be vulnerable.
1 corinthians 10:13 Romans 8:28 Psalm 103
P.S., Jody makes a mean lasagna, stuffed shells, manicotti and you are not very far away (jus' sayin').

| Character is built in the wilderness. Our family had a nice business until my husband fell off the roof and we had to sell our equipment. Now we are in the back of the boat letting God lead the way because without Him we will fall. So many people are watching. We know that we are in the palm of God's hand and he has carried us through this wilderness. I will be glad when we are back on the mountaintop. Sometimes we have to go through horrible things to be able to minister to other people.
Beautiful work. |

| Thanks Ladies. I hope people can relate to this one. I can usually roll with the punches in different situations, but when the people you love are sick or injured, I don't hold up very well. That and a little self pity was the inspiration for this poem. Things are improving slowly, but thank God, they are improving. |
