It becomes a choice we have to make...to believe and stand on those promises when there's no sign of it whatsoever.<br />I sure do wish, along with other people, that I could reach over and take it all from you as quickly as it came. But that is God's work and He IS working in and around you. Some day, you will see it. For now, love and hugs come your way as well as many prayers.Faith Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159331058336305676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-25802358348015874712010-11-02T06:03:52.199-07:002010-11-02T06:03:52.199-07:00“It is true that God may have called you to be exa...“It is true that God may have called you to be exactly where you are. But, it is absolutely vital to grasp that he didn’t call you there so you could settle in and live your life in comfort and superficial peace…God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through”<br />~Frances Chan~<br /> <br /><br />Do I think God has left you to your own demise? Absolutely not! and I don't think you really believe that either. <br /><br />I think our emptiness comes from discontentment, from Jealousy. We are always looking for something or someone to make us happy. We busy ourselves thinking that if we are just doing enough things that we will be happy, if we do enough things for God then we will be happy. <br /><br />When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more." <br />— Francis Chan <br /><br />I don't believe you are empty or dead, I think you are amazing and full of life. God is using you and will continue to use you, even if you don't feel alive or feel like God is working, He is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931904931290150015.post-64360050991828819942010-11-02T00:53:36.626-07:002010-11-02T00:53:36.626-07:00I can so thoroughly relate to this post.

I go to work, attend all of the necessary kid's function, feed my family and clean my house. Inside it's just empty, nothingness. I know that I am probably stuck but haven't a clue how to get unstuck. <br /><br />Praying for you and missing our girls.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375070245303834905noreply@blogger.com
