I'm glad to hear you're volunteering in the church.

I haven't read that one. What have you learned from it?

Fasting isn't my strong suit as I've only done it twice, but it helped me connect more deeply with God.

The only way I can function in this unpredictable life is to not look inwardly for comfort but look up to our Father.
I used to volunteer in the church and look at opportunities again soon. It was great and helped get the focus off me and found the church experience more rewarding.

Created for Community book is really good and has helped in my journey with the Lord and has helped me comprehend the Christian faith more. I not heard of the book: The Praying Life by Paul Miller but I will look for it more.

Anyway I have an opportunity for temp work next week. It is a relief and I have had a lot of temp work in the past. It hard getting something more stable. Also I am lonely and it is hard.

My own quote is this: It isn't WHAT we go through but HOW we go through it (with God of course!) What might be difficult for me may be easy for you and vice versa. It isn't the situation, but our keeping our face toward God in faith. Sometimes He allows us to be on our backs so we get the message: LOOK UP! Even in the darkest well in the middle of the day if we look up we will see His stars shining above.

You'll get through this. Life itself isn't easier perhaps, but our attitude can become "Whatever you do to me Lord, I will trust You" (paraphrased from Job, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him."

God will either deliver you from suffering, or if not, will give you the strength and grace, to pass trough it and endure it.

Difficulties make you do or discover some good things which you would not do or discover otherwise.

When you worry about the future, which you do not know, it prevents you to function and enjoy living in the present, which you know.

We all have reasons, to be troubled, but the Word of God, gave us a greater reason, not to be troubled.

The Holy Spirit is called a Helper! Therefore, no Christian can be helpless again!

Thank you. Well I believe God can deliver. Only God knows what will happen in the future which is true. I can be worried about the coming week but I need to trust God to guide and help me during this journey.
