--- Quote from: jennie on October 25, 2008, 08:30:49 PM ---Sometimes it feels to me like this is hell! I say that in a joking manner but seriously at the same time. Maybe what I am talking more about is the trials that just naturally come along with this life? I stay confused about lots of things. Like , how can  church folks be so cruel. I don't mean that to offend anyone because I guess I am lumping all church folk together. I don't understand why your hair has to be a certain way, you have to dress a certain way and so  on or else you are not good enough. Does this make sense to anyone? I know I am just coming off a hard drop down to the ground in the way I think of church so maybe I have the wrong  attitude. I just don't think God needs our puny selves to help Him judge. He is God!!! Somebody put me on the right track with this. We have lost our home, our jobs and those we thought were our friends. You won't hurt my feelings if you tell me to suck it up. God knows I need some guidance of direction in this. thanks to all and much southern love too!

It is hard! Your going to feel these things and experience hardships. Cut yourself some slack and just keep moving on. Church folk do love to beat you down, Hell is not the only beat down tool they use. When you go through a transition such as yours it can seem very confusing, but have hope it does settle out! Many have gone through what you are, I know I did. You will look back and say "I was sweating that?"  :D 

Hey God gives the best southern love of all! Grab as much as you can.  ;D

jennie:
Thanks ya'll. It helps so much to "get my mind right". I think I am learning through this hard time that we usually have way more than we really need and that the people who truly love us are few but they are solid! When I think of it like that... it makes the losses seem way less! Well, my old southern back is aching me and we have another day of moving out in front of us come morning so I will rest and wish ya'll a good night's rest! Jennie

Marlene:
Amen to all of this. Love to each and everyone. I thank God often for his gift of fellowship of people like you all. I am glad now for my trials, because they all led me to truth. There really can be joy in trials.
In His Love
Marlene
