Wow, I have read three incredible threads since I got on.  Sandy, Jacieleigh, and yours!  How wonderful our God is.

Janice, this is the second time I have posted.  Lost the first one by clicking something wrong. Ha.  I always think that maybe I wasn't to post but I HAD to tell you what an angel you are.

I can't add to SueAnn, Kat, or Dawn, but, here you are helping all of us daily by your love, wit, and wisdom after having gone thru so much in your life.  <I mean those brother in laws!> I just marvel when I actually hear of God's miracles in action.  You are one dear heart and your daddy is very blessed to have you.

I have to tease you abit...remember that song... I am my own Grandpa...well I thought of that when you wrote about your family being as your children!

Well, I am rambling, but I am blessed of the Lord to know you!

Thank you for sharing.

If I had to put myself into your shoes I'd melt in them and meet my own weakness which is beyond my comprehension on the way down!

Do you find that the cross you are carrying is still preferable to the one you see others struggling with? I mean, for example, I believe no one would want my cross and likewise I can not see myself surviving the cross others are MADE to ENDURE through the favor and grace of Christ.

Is it that we have a very small view or limited experience of the magnitude of the Endurance and Grace that can make a servant of Christ stand? I think that is it.

I have been pondering the thought that Job was restored and that is OT. Jesus was resurrected and that is our testament for we live in the NT times. Sorry for rambling....

I love how you say : I don't know why He didn't snuff my little light out.

Glad He didn't! Peace to you as He garrisons our hearts and our apprehensions in Christ Jesus. Phil 4-9

Hi Janice,

I agree with everyone here, you are wonderful! As I told you before you are an inspiration to me and I thank God for you. :D I know what you mean about your parents being your children. My mom and dad are like two kids and I need wisdom to know when to let them be and when to intervene. Your dad is so blessed to have you.

Love,

Ursula

Janice, you are an inspiration....I can't believe how reading your post just did away with my self pity and hopelessness that I experienced today. 
I couldn't have dealt with half of what you've had to deal with, and I thank God He gave you what you needed to go on. 

You can't believe how your life impacts others....that really is a HUGE ministry in itself.  I pray for good things for you and wish you well... take care...James

DuluthGA:
Thank you so much buddy Ursula... and I am doubly blessed to have my dad.  I'm so attached to him... how lonely I'd be without him.  There has already been so much loss for me.  How grateful I am that he still has good life in him, is able to respond and interact a little.  How I love to perform funny antics just to get a laugh out of him.  (I can be quite the clown... surprised?  No? :D) 

And thank you Gena for such sweet compliments that I'm not quite sure I fulfill.  And no Gena... it was two of Bob's brothers... the ones that were so so nice for years at all the reunions and holiday parties...  ::)  Definite no-goodies.  I wonder if they've come to repent yet... "bet" they WILL...  :D

I remember telling you awhile back that I didn't think I'd really have time for this forum after joining, just scraps and pieces of time during the day, a little more late at night.  So I'm thankful and blessed for taking part when I can!!  BIG TIME!!

And a big thank you to you Arcturus for your very kind compliments that touched me dearly!  My cross-bearing experience has been thus:  First I realized I had one!  (Not trying to be funny, but it is funny I guess, ha!)  Then it became a matter of the process of realizing and actually asking, "just who am I and just what is it?"  The answers were God-given.  And yes I found myself comparing crosses with those I knew, but not so much now, yet I always wonder what He has for me around the next corner.  I KNOW there will be more tribulation and chastening grace for me.  I certainly acknowledge others have had it a lot worse than me with abuse, violence, ill health, etc., and I certainly wouldn't want to swap.  To me, our relative cross-bearing experiences are not able to transcend to glimpse the absolute immenseness and perfection of HIS judgment/salvation processes. 

I have found a verse recently that speaks to me although I'm not sure if I've got the interpretation right.  It's part of a verse set but I'll just display the one verse:

Rom 3: 4b   That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

I was happy to find this and it lets me know that though the judgment process I am given to overcome... because as we all know we certainly can't overcome on our own.  Praise God for all His Ways past finding out!

May God bless you all!  :)
Janice
