Very interesting information! Thanks!

Bye

Beautiful :)

Here’s a writeup about the “Three Steps Forward Two steps Back” (Did have title wrong!):

“We’re all faced with a series of great opportunties brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back is not a wonder pill promising a carefree Christian life. According to Charles Swindoll, ‘Life is a task. A tough one. Sometimes absolutely unbearable.’

The truth is life’s problems can’t be solved by all-too-easy cliches. And they don’t go away if they’re ignored. So Swindoll offers practical ways to cope with fear, stress, mmisunderstanding, inferiority, personal loss, anger, and temptation.

Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back can help you face problems, ‘walk into them, through them, and come out stronger in Christ on the other side.’ You can persevere through pressure.”

You may find a used copy of that Swindoll book at Google Search and it’d bless you! LOL, when I read that thought he had written it for me! He is an honest, refreshing Christian author!

YOU are an intelligent lady and our resident “Philosopher” on here and think deep and cause the rest of us to think, just to comment back! He made you very intelligent and along with that comes some frustation..He understands and won’t let you stay discouraged. You are very special..and HE is very much with you, too, (Emmanuel)!!!

Prayed as soon as read your ealrier comment and will continue that. Am soooo grateful for the prayers that come towards me, too! And? Wish could have shared a video of me this weekend! Am sure my husband was on his knees praying for me! I am one of those “glass half full” people..usually smiling and cheerful, positive and hopeful.. so, when my “whaaa times” come and every last one of us have them (smile).. the contrast is great when am not my usual self..thankfully for my husband, they don’t come often..the longer I walk with the Lord, the better that gets..And? It is about time as will be 64 in December, LOL! A few days ago? The Lord gently reminded me in my spirit “fran, you are getting in the way again, time to move over and let me be in charge”… But like June L wrote? These times make us appreciate all the far better ones in our walks! For a little while? I allowed the “worries” to get better of me and the devil to do “his thing”, but the LORD snapped me out of it (and answered intercession of my husband for me! LOL, he requires that, too, sometimes..We ALL do! xoxo

I had no idea about the Swindoll book. Just knowing there is, or was, one helps.

Thanks for the continued support! I am so full of the “don’t wanna” whaaa’s right now! LOL!

HE understands those “curl up in a ball” moments..and every last one of us have them, too, that are honest and express it! “Be of Good Cheer” as you and the rest of us that know HIM among the blessed! HE will reach in and help. Remember that old saying “When the world goes out, the real friends come in”..That is actually attributed to Eurpides, I believe the Greek Philosopher who wrote those famous words..But the WORD in HIS Holy Bible LARGER!! Your husband will be blessed by going there for comfort..And we will keep praying for him, and for you, too! Chuck Swindoll wrote that book “Two Steps Forward, one step back” (msy have title wrong, but you “get the picture” lol)..And, it sold well..because we are ALL human and will have these days until we are called in His Presence. It is “what” we choose to do with them, that makes the difference. Amen..And HE is the “friend” that comes in when the whole world recedes from us! Praying for you and believing for you, too!
