My family and I are going through a lot right now and I can't tell you how often I've wondered why our prayers seem not to be answered the way "we want them to be" and why I haven't heard him. I know he's there. I know everything happens for his purpose. I love him dearly. He has held me up during some of the most painful two years of my life, but there are those times (especially lately) where I question where he is ... and he is all around and in the word...I'm just not there with him. Thanks for this post. I need to crack open that Bible, get down on my knee's and have a conversation with God (not just pleas for help), and open myself up to him on a friendship level and not just a "gimme, gimme, gimme" level. this was the gentle slap I needed.

Anytime life seems to be going askew I start asking, "ok God, where are you?" Only to be tapped on the shoulder by Him saying "I'm right here. You turned your back and haven't been speaking to me or listening when I speak." Oh, yeah. Thankfully, God is patient, loving and forgiving every time. Karen & Nell ~

It's always right in the midst of madness that I get jerked back into the reality of it all. IF ONLY my thick headed stubborn skull could remember this each time things start spiraling outta control..... THEN.... JUST MAYBE I wouldn't even reach "that point of madness" May our noses be glued to the center of his word lest we forget that all we need to do is "Look Upward!" Great post girlie! :0) Walking in his SONshine! Trina And why is it we seem to forget this so easily???

I almost apologized for this post being so brief, but God doesn't necessarily need many words. :) Trina ~ You said it!
