I have to admit that a lot of God's lessons are really hitting close to home lately. I sometimes get discouraged that I am never going to get it, but then I am reminded that I serve a gracious and loving God. He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it!!

Sometimes they hurt me..I am so very stubborn..I can fix it myself I say..I will do this and do that I say..Never fails that the harder I try to fix problems that are bigger than me the more isolated I feel...Unfortunate that it takes pain for me to go to God. One would think that by now I would have learned my lesson.

Yes I do have the choice to stubbornly go along thinking that my ways will win out in the end..I also have the consequences to face for being so proud...I am learning that there are lessons that I could have avoided if I gave them to God sooner...Infact I have been rather quiet of late...I feel that it is high time I give it up...Repentance..is what I need.

to anybody else who is hurting.

Life lessons...make me feel...hurt and healed at the same time. It's like a roting tooth I guess. There is a dull pain but you fear the pain of getting it pulled. But when it is pulled u feel both pain and joy at the same time.

I have been through a lot of these things. All I know is that all of them have made me stronger. And like it was said, I am only stonger because I found myself weak. Thank God for these chastisments. They make us to grow to be like Him.

Pending on the lesson:

*Sad
*Enlightened
*even sometimes joyful
*sometimes disappointed in myself--like I should have known better
*other times just thankful and amazed that He care(-d/-s) enough about me to teach me a lesson in the first place.

God bless,
