It's funny, ...Oh, how I wish I were there with you. It's funny, even though we have never met, I feel like we would have so much to share over a cup of tea (or something stronger!). <BR/><BR/>I hate it when people quote scripture to me, but can I suggest that you read the Psalms - 44 particularly. I love it because the anger and despair it expresses always seems to meet me in those low places of crying out to God. Kimberly, over at wonderfulexchange.wordpress.com also wrote a great post on Amos today - lessons in redemption. Might be worth taking a look both at her post and at Amos. It might not make you feel better, but I find it comforting to feel a part of a bigger story, knowing that communities over thousands of years have been raging and lamenting in the same way - and coming through to the other side of that despair stronger in their faith in and love for God.<BR/><BR/>God has an amazing way of meeting us where we are, even in times of anger and distrust - especially in those times, I think. I will pray that you will catch a glimpse of God walking beside you and sense God's hand in all that is happening. Sometimes it is all we can do to simply be where we are and trust that God will find us there, though that is much easier said than done, and a very painful experience.<BR/><BR/>I wish I had the right words of wisdom for you, and sorry if I have said too much, but please know that you are very much in my thoughts.<BR/><BR/>KxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
