Well today's subject hit me square between the eyes! It talks about how God often puts us in positions we don't see any benefit in. Just like my pain situation, evidently fibromyalgia and arthritis on top of my COPD isn't enough,now I'm developing neuropathy in my feet, they feel like they are on fire. Why, why I keep asking? I have to keep reminding myself that "He has our good and His glory in mind". So if I can say "Father, please enable me to trust and honor You in this situation", then I will be in concert with His plans not mine.
God bless!

Hi Karen,
I questioned the Lord a lot in the past few years, with my herniated discs, and other pain issues.  The book I have been reading by Joni Eareckson Tada, has really helped me explore pain and suffering as part of God perfect plan for me.  It has helped me to get perspective on the chronic nature of my pain, and helps me not feel sorry for myself.  I recommend it.  I can't remember the exact title, but if you go to Amazon, and look up her name, it is her latest book. 

I appreciate prayers for my upcoming move.  I am having panic attacks big time about it.  I am dependent on people at church to help me make the move.  I don't know how many people are helping.  I told the Youth Pastor I would donate a couple of hundred dollars to the Youth Ministry scholarship fund, which helps kids to go on their weekend in the Fall to do paintball wars, and invite their friends from school.  I hope I get a lot of people out to help with the move.  The more there are, the quicker the move.  The good news is, I am only moving downstairs, so no truck is involved.

Hugs,
TRish
