I've been through all these things and will be going through them again, my husband being deployed again very soon. I waited a long time for Mr. Wonderful, but he was and is worth waiting for! Meanwhile, my heavenly Bridegroom has some things for me to do.... Praying you will find friends who can help you find real JOY and PEACE during this time of trial.

To be hurt can be a blessing in disguise. Maybe some of us needed to be hurt to be healed of our apathy; to not rest on our laurels concerning what we have done for you in the past, but to look outside our own stress-filled lives and lift you up today. There is a condition called congenital analgesia in which people cannot feel physical pain. If they were blind folded and their foot was chopped off, they could not acknowledge the pain. They would simply bleed to death. Wouldn’t it be awful if we were like that as Christians? Without pain would we ever grow spiritually; would we seek healing or would we, being spiritually numb, slowly bleed to death? It was painful to look at my image in the mirror you held up—but I am thankful for feelings, even the painful ones. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, I’ll be working on that image. What about you? : )<br />Ps 24:9,10b Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and Mighty.<br />love youVenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963356188763691979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6526198838521404689.post-61450039331804820032012-01-02T18:55:58.122-08:002012-01-02T18:55:58.122-08:00I am so sorry 2011 was a hard year for you. Please...I am so sorry 2011 was a hard year for you. Please know that you are truly loved by your church family! You are a blessing to us. One of the things I remember most from Pastor Sam's sermon on Sunday was to count our blessings instead of our burdens. Choosing joy is not easy- I know this first hand; but we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! We want to help you choose joy in 2012. We plan to help, but ultimately the choice is yours.<br />love you and David and girlsVenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963356188763691979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6526198838521404689.post-27550560401672669372012-01-02T15:22:14.773-08:002012-01-02T15:22:14.773-08:00I'm so sorry you are feeling this way Joanna. ...I'm so sorry you are feeling this way Joanna. I understand what you're going through. Other people would say that they understand but they don't. But know that you are not alone. Myself and a lot of the wives in our unit are too. So, know that if you need someone to talk to or just an ear to listen too. I am here and I'm sure I speak for the other wives as well. We are "almost" there. Thank God that this time apart from our husbands are just temporary.
