And as I walked to my second class (because I'd slept through my first) I thought, "Today just isn't my day..." To which He replied, "That's right, Nina. Today's not YOUR day, it's Mine. So breathe, turn your focus toward my face, and choose joy in the midst of it all."

I think pride and difficulty trusting others with our pain does keep God from moving in the Church. Chris Graham, your word from the Lord really struck a chord with me.

I prayed numerous times daily about this but because of my "pride" did not really reach out to anyone for help ( I guess mostly I was embarrassed it had come to this considering I had been earning in six figures for a couple of years).................As I prayed more I did feel much closer to God and more at peace about the situation (if you can be at peace with something so serious) but to be honest, things seemed to get WORSE. I was in the shower praying again for the NTH time for God to intervene on my family's behalf and I heard these words as clear as he was standing in the shower with me ----"Chris, I love you. How can you expect me to help you if you won't let my people know you are hurting?" It still gives me chills to this day.....I KNOW I am not alone in anything I go against on this Earth...I have the Lord and his Church. I wished I could say everything is magically OK but we are still struggling. The Lord did send a tremendous blessing of almost $6k that allowed us to keep our house. Sorry to make this sound like a lecture but God is faithful and he does speak to us in a lot of ways. PS---For S. Pihlaga----I think I can relate to where you are coming from and I would like to suggest 2 great books (other than the Bible of course)-----Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and The Reason for God by Timothy Keller....Also if you'd like to talk you can email me at chrsgraham9@gmail.com...I am not a pastor or anything, just a guy and a father trying to get out of the darkness...

Just as I am a good and responsible steward of the money and resources He gives me, I have to be responsible and make the tough decisions to remain a good and responsible steward of the relationships I have. In short, that means stop being scared of hurting someone's feelings when I speak the truth in love.
