This is the exact thing I am struggling so mightily with. Thanks for a little "light at the end of the tunnel" that I so badly needed today. The light is not a solution, but a recognition that God's Grace is active, even when I can't appreciate it.Tarheel Ramblerhttp://www.tarheelramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-62815236655574766042009-12-14T14:53:39.894-05:002009-12-14T14:53:39.894-05:00It is difficult to let go and trust but when you d...It is difficult to let go and trust but when you do God rewards you. xAkelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-34442817973690124762009-12-14T13:07:30.965-05:002009-12-14T13:07:30.965-05:00In the ship of my life, I sit mid-ship rowing away...In the ship of my life, I sit mid-ship rowing away while God steers. Sometimes I get so weary of this, to the point of asking God to change places. The response is always the same...<br />"You can steer all you want..but God don't row."<br />Faith/Grace...not easy to come by, even tougher to maintain in this day and age, but it is the thing that takes us through those shark infested waters...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-21518855075021147632009-12-14T11:58:08.799-05:002009-12-14T11:58:08.799-05:00I'm not a mom, which is as it should be becaus...I'm not a mom, which is as it should be because I don't think I could do what you have done ... watch as your child finds his own way and comes out whole on the other side. You gave him love and support and tears and worry and freedom and I'm sure he appreciates all of it ... now. <br /><br />I loved this post because you shared what sustained you. I have a dear friend who seems so fascinated by other people's suffering (currently Michael Jackson's). Giving into pain, viewing yourself as a victim, I think that's easier to explain than stories like yours here today.<br /><br />Grace, indeed. <br /><br />You're a strong woman, Your Highness.The Gal Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566779726191649848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-75335152937409919552009-12-14T10:48:00.657-05:002009-12-14T10:48:00.657-05:00I think you figured it out when you said, "Yo...I think you figured it out when you said, "You win."Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-86271602267552702902009-12-13T21:23:44.496-05:002009-12-13T21:23:44.496-05:00It can so hard to let go when we're in the bat...It can so hard to let go when we're in the battle, but when we do, as did you, the light shines brighter within us.Jeff Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978944708950054312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-56644427354429647832009-12-13T20:13:35.058-05:002009-12-13T20:13:35.058-05:00Having gone through something a bit similar, I kno...Having gone through something a bit similar, I know both the doubt and the faith.
