This is a hard place to be and I have been there too. Time will heal the wound and the Lord will lead you on to better (and unexpected) things.

All I can say this morning is that I understand this. It is what happened for six years while I was ill with chronic fatigue syndrome, it is what happened when I left my marriage. A thin way, there is nothing to stand upon except God. The liberating thing of course is that despite the awful terror, you do know in some way that you've had it all stripped, and you know that all that remains is enough. That is poverty at its core, certainly, and it keeps giving and giving out the other end, like some sort of bottomless money jar.<br /><br />Very strange :)<br /><br />I pray that comfort for you, Mike, that's like a chocolate blanket.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.com
