Erica, you are one of the two bravest, strongest woman I know here in AD. Taking ***t from other people in our lives is hard enough, but to have to take it from GOD? Not for me, sorry.

i've been there...i've gotten so angry, i've cursed God...WHEN'S IT GONNA BE MY TURN??? that speaks volumes, i've said it myself...God answers prayer in three ways, i believe...no, yes, and not yet...it's when he says "not yet" that it is the hardest...we just have to wait...the answers will come in HIS time, not our time...and that isn't easy...but the answer is forthcoming...very intense, emotional piece, erica...thanks for sharing...(((HUGS))) and i'll pray for you, too...pray for me...love, karla. :(

Hi Erica,
God always hears us and replies...
Only sometimes we
just don't hear Him...

Great write..

Heart rending and powerfully moving write. Yes...sometimes it does feel as if He isn't "there" for us--but one day, we will see that He truly was...

i feel sometimes that god doesn't care for me, but i know that is totally untrue. i now know he does, and he answers prayers when HE wants, not when WE would want (although we'd LOVE to have him do so; but you know that won't happen until HE sees fit!)! i have been at the end of my rope at times with god, but i know that he'll never leave or forsake me. that is my comfort, and that is what keeps me going. please don't give up on god; that would be the WORST thing you could possibly do! my thoughts and prayers are with you today! love, your friend in texas, karen lynn. ((((HUGS)))) to you, erica! :(

Erica ...this could not be any more powerful or frightening and I hope these feelings were of long ago..no offense...sometimes we feel that God isnt answering..because we want Him to answer now and what we want..but He does it in His own way and when He wants..when the time is right..thats why He is God..this was awesome..tragic..and sorrowful..Floria
