Dave, wow! You have been through a lot, and you are an inspiration!
It's a wonderful thing these trials and tribulations that God carefully places in our lives, for us to learn to overcome. I'm happy to read your comment:

 But when I look back I can see the skilful hand of God shaping me. Before all that I fancied myself as being a fairly good Christian. I reality I was weak, carnal and self centred. Now I am starting to thank God for these firey trials, and willingly ask for them to come as I see that my vile selfhood must be burned away in His Spiritual fire.

Amen and amen David! I am starting to have peace (no worries) in my life because of this fact. Yes, God is shaping me!!!!!!!!

Janice,

I like that no pain, no gain, in a spiritual sense!

Love,

Ursula

hey guys,firstly Janice, thanks for setting me straight about what goes where- I think I have it figured... When you post pictures do you have to link from another site, like photobucket? I will figure it out. Thankyou for your kindness and support. In writing about suffering I hope I don't come across as a sort of "ooh look how much I've been through" Drama Queen type way. It is, I think, in our nature to wallow, and indulge oursleves in what is actually sent to humble us. It has been a long process. But I have been blessed with a caring mother, close friends and brethren (that means youse lot among others!), and most of all an awesome Saviour. ANd like everyone, I get through it somehow.

I just love encouraging people that the darkness, the scary thoughts, the evil in our hearts, they are nothing compared to the love and light and power of Christ.

Well, may He bless us all.

Dave

ps. will add pics when I work out how   :     /

Glad you've got good support... I'm nodding and get what you mean about "not wallowing in it", yes...and I hear ya about the wonderment and good friendship/fellowship we have in our Lord.  Righty-o.  Don't know where I'd be without Him.

AS YOU SEE MORE TRUTH, YOU LET GO OF THE DARKNESS. 

I personally appreciate your encouragement because I've still got a way to go. 

Chat more with you soon, :)
Janice
