I'm sobbing. Much louder inside than ...Annie,<br /><br />I'm sobbing. Much louder inside than out, as Joe and Sophie (HEAVY BLANKIN SIGH) are asleep in the bed behind me.<br /><br />I sat down to post for Thanksgiving. An expected, obvious sort of post just isn't there. Not now. Instead, I am focusing on "trying" to give thanks IN everything. Trying to push aside those awful feelings of frustration.<br /><br />And you read my soul. Oh how God put you in my life! That alone causes the giving of thanks to well up inside of me. Yes, I'm thankful, too, for my husband and family. <br /><br />But I'm especially thankful for my Saviour, my all-knowing, all-seeing Lord. I'm so grateful that He saw fit for me to visit YOUR BLOG before I read another single thing.<br /><br />OH how this blessed me. NOT that you're suffering. But that you can--first--relate. And that you are real enough to be honest about this season of your life.<br /><br />I'm so thankful for you, my friend. I wish I could come visit, fill in a lonely spot.<br /><br />But I'm so glad that HE CAN! HE CAN! And I know He will for you. And I know He'll help me in this season of my life as well.<br /><br />I love you, my friend!<br /><br />Love covers,<br />RenaLauren Delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992185662542598747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32802199.post-67359956532644049242009-11-23T22:03:35.040-08:002009-11-23T22:03:35.040-08:00Annie,

I'll be praying for you. I know it doesn't change your situation, but just know that you aren't alone.<br /><br />Thanks for your honesty.<br /><br />WhitneyWhitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916629814938504927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32802199.post-30877376983884003342009-11-22T20:28:24.923-08:002009-11-22T20:28:24.923-08:00beautiful post...

But I do know God always show us a silver lining if I have the patience or inclination to look for it. We just experience our blessings a little bit more uniquely than ever one else does. Thanks for your good words Annie - even the cuss words!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039525197728859500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32802199.post-6706349183737916192009-11-22T17:01:14.472-08:002009-11-22T17:01:14.472-08:00Awww...I do so feel your pain!

While I can't say I know exactly how you feel (since I am not married to a coach!), I so get that feeling of loneliness and struggling to pull everything together on my own. And I know, why you can't always understand WHY you don't just get used to it for one year, one thing is for certain: you never do get used to it. I think if you DID get used to it, God would sure miss this time of your growth in Him!<br /><br />Thank you for being so transparent. I so appreciate your positive outlook...yes, even in tough times. You are an inspiration. <br /><br />Please know you can whine anytime!! :-)Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808679812939188136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32802199.post-4814222798104733032009-11-22T04:53:26.141-08:002009-11-22T04:53:26.141-08:00If you only knew how badly I needed to read this t...If you only knew how badly I needed to read this today...momof4krhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454466018933020763noreply@blogger.com
