A Weak Man
Marlene:
Well, guys hate to burst your bubble. But, I can say I am a weak woman. Seems, my trials started as a child. Each trial gets bigger as time goes by for sure. Never, had any children. Kind of glad. Because my Husbands family spoil there grandchildren. Its hard wanting children and never having them. My health is not good. I have nothing to talk about so I am left out.
Now, I see it as a blessing. I could not have stood watching our children be pushed away. I feel like I have nothing in common with there family. I don't have children to boast about. I don't think they like to be around me cause I am not well. I could tell you some really hard things dealt to me while I was in the hospital and could have lost my life. Things, said about me when I was in Babylon Church where all his family went. I would ask my Husband how he dealt with that so good. He said,"I got use to it."
I am so blessed that my Husband is ok with what I believe. He wanted to leave church too. I am sure I probably get blamed for that. But, thats ok.
I am learning to get use to it.
Every time I do talk to his Mom she ask me , when I am going to get my disability. Thank God my husband does not think my money is more important than me.
I really do feel for you guys. Rockerdude, I too know what it is like to battle weight problems. I pray every day please help me loose some. I have lost some over the years and managed to keep it off. I am a diabetic and have been for years. I have medications that make you hungry and I fight it like crazy.
I just cry out to God help me. But, this all is about the physical. I know, God looks at the spiritual. Stress can also cause overweight.
I feel bad for you men. I know, how they think a man should be this or that. But, believe me my Husband family think I should be out helping him. But, they don't have any health issues. I guess, they are modern people and think the woman should work and do it all. Well, I did work for years and part of that was taking care of there children, and the rest working out in the world.
Well, I do have a wonderful husband, and a hard worker.
Just, remember Rockerdude there are millions like you that have a hard time finding work.
In my opinion at least you want to take care of your family.
But, just remember God is looking at your inside. Your heart.
I confess when he shows me my flaws . I know, he is able to give me victory. Hey, God wants the weak and humble.
For sure, we all are in this together.
Now, I just try and remember my trials will make me better.
In His Love,
Marlene

Indeed all,
God must first show us how WEAK we are apart from Him, before He reveals the grace sufficient to make us STRONG enough to endure today's trials. I was reading the latter part of Romans 7 where Paul spoke of how weak he was, that inside of his flesh dwells NO GOOD THING. To use another writer's analogy "Coming to the end of ourselves is never the fun part. Only the first part" This is God's process of strengthening us with His chastening love that endures in us to bring forth SPIRTUAL FRUIT that He has ordained us to walk in.

Oh Antaiwan and Rockerdude you about broke my heart. You will have victory when it is your time. God is not a respecter of people. It has taken me years to be somewhat patient but all has come my way and those who used to make fun have nothing to say. Some of them have even apologized. God restores the years the locust has taken. Many are amazed at what has occured and then I tell them it is all of God. They don't laugh anymore but instead ask me to pray for them. Judy
