Good thoughts. Sometimes, when we'...Ramble on! Good thoughts. Sometimes, when we're hurting, it could be that God wants us to be in the fire of the situation to refine us as one refines gold or silver. Sometimes we see situations coming and we may even try to avoid them, but most of the time God wants us right in the midst so that when it's all over, we've come closer to Him. We understand that special grace, that He gives, a little more. We understand...at least in my case...that life is short. We aren't guareenteed our next breath and are we ready to meat Him face to face with no regrets? Through the death of my friend, I find myself drawing closer. Even before this happened I found myself in need of drawing closer. We need to be ready when He calls. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Made sense to me!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189830385882659280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535428512866611512.post-16417336704843795932010-03-29T23:25:45.256-04:002010-03-29T23:25:45.256-04:00i love how reading your blog helps me put so many ...i love how reading your blog helps me put so many things in my life into perspective!! and you are so right... may people around us are hurting and if not for the grace of God we would be right there in the same hurt with them! thanks girl, love ya bunches!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05257654546290054345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535428512866611512.post-19010852072215431412010-03-29T19:28:10.621-04:002010-03-29T19:28:10.621-04:00A man that I used to work with several years ago l...A man that I used to work with several years ago lost his job due to downsizing/restructuring (whatever). It seemed devastating at the time. However, if he hadn't been "forced" to pursue other interests, he would probably still be doing a job that he hated. After going back to school, he is now teaching special ed kids and absolutely loves it!<br /><br />You just never know what opportunities God will open up for you, if you will just trust Him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634642713559547536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535428512866611512.post-88276610019596285122010-03-29T19:24:10.980-04:002010-03-29T19:24:10.980-04:00You handled both of your big 'assignments'...You handled both of your big 'assignments' with grace, faith, and optimism, knowing there were plenty of blessings in there somewhere. <br /><br />And you were right :)<br /><br />'Lucy'Lucy and Ethelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034416537494911411noreply@blogger.com
