Our Father has used you today to speak ...Rachelle,<br /><br />Our Father has used you today to speak to me and I feel like mercy has come with this message.

Thank you so much! <br /><br />Love you,<br /><br />NicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309065885226601254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465433655739560421.post-18534119447131456132011-02-10T08:13:25.202-06:002011-02-10T08:13:25.202-06:00I loved this and could relate to all of it. When I...I loved this and could relate to all of it. When I had a daycare and 5 children 4 weeks to 4 years I was sometimes wild. I had many things on my plate then and I knew that when I was down and felt overwhelmed with everything,sick husband,dieing mother-in-law, alcoholic father-in-law the Lord would speak to me and say "Just do the next task" and I would do that. My feelings changed every 5 minutes. They went from happy,mad,impatient,tired and hopeless. I learned to sing "Put on the Garment of Praise" and I have been so thankful for that scripture. Sure didn't feel like singing it in those 8 years plus. I know that when my husband died I felt that I didn't fit anymore. Kids gone,his parents gone and I didn't even know who I was. <br />The Lord told me that I wasn't ment to fit. I was his special person and he did have a plan for me. I couldn't believe there was anything more but there way. Such happiness that I can't express. I have now grandchildren who really love me. They are so adorable and fun. HE IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Thank you for your blog. I always enjoy it but felt I had to comment this time. It touched me and was so me that I wanted you to know that many a woman feels this way, no matter the age. <br />I loved the CS Lewis quote too.Gaylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465433655739560421.post-64493451269756671782011-02-10T06:25:40.498-06:002011-02-10T06:25:40.498-06:00I love that C.S. Lewis quote. Yes, we were not mad...I love that C.S. Lewis quote. Yes, we were not made to linger here long. Hallelujah! I love you. I love our gracious Lord who gives me "undeserved kindness".

I know that feeling. My greatest is embodied not in a 3 year old, but a 7 year old. Praise Jesus. I relate to the sentiment, "What is the matter with me!" I related to wanting to crawl in a hole and hide...okay you didn't say that but that was the sentiment wasn't it? I relate to the book and the brownies and leave me alone...AND I relate to Nothing can satisfy but Jesus and that pushing through to the other side, sometimes like the step sisters forcing their fat feet into that glass slipper, I force myself into that garment of praise. And---this is where the analogy breaks down--the garment transforms me--it protects me, covers me and fits me like a glove. More like Cinderella's transformation before the ball, the sacrifice of praise changes me. I am buffered from all the resistance and I no longer want to crawl into a hole, but rejoice that God is faithful and hears me! Everything is beautiful in its time. Great post, Roach! You have described my week perfectly. I adore your honesty, and mostly your refusal to let those feelings have the final say. Sooo glad that God's word trumps it all and brings us through when we can't hold on anymore! He is awesome!Jill Lillardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780046090097765653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465433655739560421.post-85545399059361926072011-02-09T21:38:22.103-06:002011-02-09T21:38:22.103-06:00So much truth + so much humor = great teaching!So much truth + so much humor = great teaching!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16437484133047376497noreply@blogger.com
