Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. Because your writing is as beautiful as you are. Because your tears are ours. Because where one door is closed, another may be open. Because the umbrella you held out for me is large enough for us both, and you are neither alone nor unloved. Because through all of the pain, the rainbow is just beyond the horizon.

My Pastor told me just today, that God's time frame is not as ours, and it is not customary for ppl in this day and age to have patience like our forefathers did, I thought, is he right? Then I realized he was, our Ten years can be like ten minutes to God, that's how I rationalize it all out, that way I can be assured of a long wait, sometimes. Other times, he answers immediately, depending.

Hang in the Hon, and you write beautiful words, as for pain, hmmm, I cant remember a day when i was painfree now, I made pain my friend :):)
Keeps this mortal from getting complacent or something. Challenges my mind to keep searching, praying, trying!
I empathize with you thoroughly dahl, Dont you dare stop writing yah hear
Hugs and prayers ascending for you.
Love Ch'erie

karla,
can't answer that
your question must hve your answer ---
but i will ask you a question...

why shouldn't you?

this is a good write,
it deals with a tough subject,
w/o plastering it over
with a load of cloying
cheap platitudinous b/s...

IMHO, you are becoming
a very good poet . . .

love

Yes, you should. If you haven't seen the passion of the Christ, you
should. I'm sure Jesus had been dreading this very thing, on the mountain where he prayed.
I'm sure he had second thoughts about going through with his dying on
the cross ordeal. Life, is what you make of it, so make it count,
because it's all up to you.

At times our prayers feel there only hitting the ceiling, it's then he's carrying you, I can understand, at night I cry for my son, my leg is still a life threat but that's in the doc's and Gods hands, I don't want to go to bed, yet I don't want to get up, when it all hits, then I think of thou shall not steal, kill, and also thou shall not worry, so I think what the heck, and leave God the worries, you're a great poet, so use it as thearapy, and let it all out, in a cathartic way, you have my prayers, and others, except them and you'll soon blossom.

Worse thing anyone can say is get over it, accept it and watch it run.
you and your sis keep this place fun!

Oh hey or rather hay. I got horse, I can add that to my bio for lifes achievements.

so if you're feeling blue and you don't know what to do, take a bath, then look in mirror and have a bloody good laugh.

Don't ever doubt God! And NEVER doubt yourself! Yes, you SHOULD keep writing, keep crying, keep praying, keep loving, and keep living! NEVER give up hope, and NEVER, EVER give up on GOD OR on yourself!! I (and GOD) won't! And you shouldn't either!

Powerful, heartwrenching cry of pain and despair! God hears you; you have GOT to trust me on that!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears <

I do that all the time myself; you know that! (Why do you think I cry so much??)

Dear Karla gal...even good christians get down
(sometimes heavily so), but don't let old Satan
deter you from what makes you feel alive, and
"somebody." Keep praying yourself, and with the
help of your friends, also....you will do what
you do best...WRITING! The healing art.
