Nevertheless....

Thank you, my best friend, for being so kind and encouraging to me tonight. I am grateful to the Lord for you, and feel honored and blessed to have you in my life. I will take your advice, starting now...
"I LOVE THE LORD. I LOVE THE LORD. I LOVE THE LORD."

Count on it...I will not overcome this without thinking of you, LB. I love you!

"When peace like a river attendeth my way, WHEN SORROWS LIKE SEA BILLOWS ROLL, WHATEVER MY LOT, THOU HAS TAUGHT ME TO SAY 'IT IS WELL, IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL'.".


"...for I have learned in whatever state I am in to be content...I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.". Philippians 4:11-13

ALL things.
WHATEVER state.

I'm going to need some practice.

"...we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance character, and character hope. Hope does NOT dissapoint, because the love of GOD has been poured out in out hearts by the HOLY SPIRIT who was given to us.". Romans 5:3-5

I know that it is the will of GOD for me to be selfless. (Phil 2:3). Yet I feel that the "venting" I'm doing here is just as much for my benefit as for yours, if not more. Yet, I do wish to be encouraging and edifying to all of you as well.
