"I exchange... my weariness for His strength, my weakness for His power, my darkness for His light, my problems for His solutions, my burdens for His freedom, my frustrations for His peace, my turmoil for His calm, my hopes for His promises, my afflictions for His balm of comfort, my questions for His answers, my confusion for His knowledge, my doubt for His assurance, my nothingness for His awesomeness, the termporal for the eternal, and the impossible for the possible."-A Woman After Gods Own Heart
Today started off great but then like a huge slap in the face others "GOOD NEWS" again started a huge emotional breakdown for me. The tears just won't stop! I appreciate all the words that people say and yes they do comfort me but today, it was hard to accept it. A student xray tech that I worked with today sent me a friend request on myspace. I accepted and started looking at her page. The paragraph above was typed under her About Me section on her page. No other words today have spoken to me like those that I read there. I realize that God places people in our lives to help us through our struggles. I asked the student to send me a friend request today. God knew that I would read those words! I still am struggling emotionally but the words do comfort me greatly. I thank God for her!

Steph,
I wish I could say or do something to make it all better, but I've been there and those bad days are hard. really hard. The only thing you can do is try to lean on Him and live by those verses. Its hard some days and He feels distant at times but is always there and allowing this to happen for His reasons and His glory. Still doesn't make the hurt go away though does it? I know, I just pray you can find peace in all of this. I pray that you'll have more "good" days than the bad ones. I love you so much! Please call me if you need to talk.
