OK, I'm sorry, but I get ticked off when people say that. Part of the reason I didn't want to give the name or description of it is because other people just brush it off as "that's life" or "you must being sinning" I've heard it all. The things that have happened a FAR beyond
just life or coincidence. It's just like my health, I try to explain it to others, there was a time in my life for
years I was so weak my legs would give out and I'd crawl because I couldn't stand. You'd be surprise how often people turn there noses in the air and say "Oh everybody goes through that!" -
?!?

I am grateful for the advise others have given me and your prayers. Thank you.
*I also apologize if I sound
whiny - I get depressed at times and it shows.*
*I do understand because I have been through a lot of stuff in my own life...
on-going health issues, dealing with bigotry for the greatest portion of my life,
persecution, abject poverty etc. I know how it is to face one thing after another,
after another --- on and on.
I was born in poverty, my family's home was a shack
that didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing... my first bed in life was
a dresser drawer.
I watched how other people lived around us, they had all they needed but the
thing I picked up on early in life was--- they lacked the ability to show
compassion to the "least of these"...they saw our poverty but turned away.
That was OK....we learned to live off the land before my dad got too sick he
spent time teaching us how to hunt, fish, garden etc.
People can say whatever they feel like saying but it doesn't mean what you're
dealing with isn't happening or has happened.
The majority of people who talk down to you and or talk bad about you are also the same people who won't help you out..I discovered this when I was a little girl.
I know that going through so much "stuff" grew my faith and brought me
into a closer walk with the Lord. I know this is how one matures spiritually and physically--- one can learn to do spiritual warfare, they can develop more patience, develop character, learn to stand firm on God's Word, learn to persevere, work on their own issues of pride, greed, covertness etc.
One still has to go through battles, one will be tested/tried
to show whether they are true.
I've learned from trials/tribulations...
I know about suffering because I'm well acquainted with it.
I understand marginalization because I've experienced it most of my life.
I know how it is to have a disabled husband because mine is disabled due
to a workplace accident that subsequently costs him his left leg and brought
on other health issues since 2009.
No matter what comes my way/our way, God helps us through each
trial and or setback as we continue to rely upon Him.
