I know it will take time...and nothing about change is comfortable, is it? But while I'm waiting, I'm coming to realize there are things about me God may want to change and build in me as well. If I lose the man I love, I can only hope God will heal and let me know there is someone better in the future. I am in the waiting room now, waiting for an answer about a relationship.

I guess the Lord has used this forum to minister to me, when I couldn't be minstered to in other ways. Thanks so much for your honesty - I know the Lord used it to help many sisters. I was really encouraged, b/c many of the words you shared, I went thru the exact same feelings at times. I pray the Lord will continue to bless & help you, as well as continue to lift me out of these times. Wow, I was amazed to read some of your words. I took some time to reflect on your words (hence the late reply), and I thank God for using a sister to help me. God bless you. And it's good that you always think of a song, or His word with what you share - b/c it's a reminder of His truth. May God continue to help us thru these days. God bless. Sister Patti,

I never realized that I, a child of the Kind, could feel so trapped in a pit with no light. My heart was broken...shattered in thousands of pieces and there seem no way ever for it to be mended. I felt hopeless and alone...and discouraged that I could ever be helped. I felt unloveable and doomed to live in my own dark world of insanity. Friends and family prayed for me...as I could not even pray for myself. Slowly, many days, hanging on day by day and even moment by moment, I began to find my way out of the pit. Ultimately, even tho many helped me in different ways, it was the Lord Who took my hand, and brought me through the waters and the fires. Yes, He walked me through them as it was necessary to take me thru the refining process...so that one day, I could share His love with others. There were days that I had to find my only comfort...under His wing and that was staying on my knees...as He interceded to the Father for me. I love the old hymn..."He Hideth my sould in the cleft of the rock." What a loving and safe place to be....and as the hymn goes on...."and covers me there with His Hand" It is difficult, Anon....but He promises to walk with us...never to leave or forsake us. His Word is true. Lean into Him, allow Him to draw you close...under His wing. Seek Him and surrender every part of you as you take His Hand and walk into the unknown, trusting like a child. I will be praying for you. Anon….there was a time, I saw no light….no end to the darkness that enveloped me.

I realize that 3 years seems like too long in hearing or experiencing the answers you long for. trust and patience is the right way to continue the strength you are doing. I just read this morning 1 Peter 1:8 which says, ''Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.'' God's speed and 'this too shall pass'. kanj anonymous,
