It's difficult to see the lesson while we're in the midst of it I think. We do need to be still and listen...and yes, it is hard!<br /><br />Brightest blessings to you,<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-82332029486198681602010-05-18T18:39:13.594-07:002010-05-18T18:39:13.594-07:00I have been missing my quiet time lately, and my s...I have been missing my quiet time lately, and my soul yearned so much to spend time with Him. He is the One who listens without judgement and He hears my heart, not just my words. He not only knows our pain, but I love how you said He speaks to us in our pain.<br /><br />I pray for your painful time to grow into a blessing, Debbie; perhaps it already has as you grow even closer to Him. Your words are always a blessing to me.<br />Love,<br />LaurieLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818912037373656469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-72318228510784606692010-05-18T18:36:59.369-07:002010-05-18T18:36:59.369-07:00debbie, thank you for sharing this. you have no i...debbie, thank you for sharing this. you have no idea how much i needed to "hear" this. i may look like i'm having a lot of fun lately, it's true though, but the truth is i'm a bit concerned about what's going to happen next. i will post about that this week, maybe later. i will only be until friday here in this job.<br /><br />be still and know that i am God --- such comforting words.Piahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389610395721966985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-72933651543996850762010-05-18T15:39:41.073-07:002010-05-18T15:39:41.073-07:00That's a great quote.

C.S. Lewis was wise in saying that "God whispers to us in our pleasures...but shouts to us in our pain." And rest assured, Debbie, God never, ever wastes a hurt. Through this painful experience, God will shout,and His voice is so comforting. But He'll also use the experience for the good - sometime, somewhere. You can count on it! And you are so right. He IS always right there!<br /><br />Blessings to you!Joan Davis (Jo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02305888520649862063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-19672524602231984962010-05-18T11:32:32.177-07:002010-05-18T11:32:32.177-07:00Much love to you.Much love to you.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-48732311744779441512010-05-18T11:14:23.402-07:002010-05-18T11:14:23.402-07:00Debbie, Thank you for such a beautiful reminder. ...Debbie, Thank you for such a beautiful reminder.

As I started toward the town where we lost our home of 11 years tears just started to flow, He just took me in his arms and held me, as he has through this whole walk. Sometimes his voice is in the breeze that hits my face, or the beautiful blue bird on my fence.<br /><br />He is so faithful and crying out allows Him to love us in another way.<br /><br />Awesome God and I do look forward to my permanent home!<br />JanetteJanettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-77304917847277214982010-05-18T04:24:58.096-07:002010-05-18T04:24:58.096-07:00In our pain we are seeking Him more, don't you...In our pain we are seeking Him more, don't you think?
