It's so nice to find someone wh...Amen indeed. <br /><br />It's so nice to find someone who understands! And I have the exact same problem; I ignore God until I need him...<br /><br />YES! He is so gracious and patient: I can't really fathom or understand it.. But I'll accept it! :) And don't worry, your not the only one who has moments of wishy-washiness.. I assure you. :) <br /><br />I'm glad it made sense, I was hopeing it would make sense, and wasn't to rambled. :)<br /><br />Your so welcome, I'm thankful it was meaningful to you. :) Stay strong sister! :) Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697039373046836955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626716032468548068.post-2622549530281226352016-02-18T11:00:21.365-08:002016-02-18T11:00:21.365-08:00AMEN, SISTER.
Abby, this is beautiful. And I can...AMEN, SISTER.<br /><br />Abby, this is beautiful. And <i>I can so relate</i>. It seems, often, like I'm on this constant teeter-totter between "letting go, letting God" and grasping at sanctification…or just ignoring God, at times. (Hopefully I don't do that as often as I think I do. Heh.)<br /><br />"So when our world comes crashing down because we just can't, we blame the Lord, saying He failed us, He let us down, He didn't keep His word. When in reality, we never gave Him a chance." JUST YES. <br /><br />Praise God that He is SO ridiculously patient with us. I mean, think about it. Our <i>constant</i> wishy-washiness (or at least mine), and yet He keeps gently tugging at our hearts, refusing to be satisfied with less than our best, but also refusing to let us tear ourselves down for our own human limits. <br /><br />"We don't have to be the 'perfect Christian'; and always have our lives in control, or have daily devotions that speak to us and mean something, or always love going to church, we just have to be us." Sheesh, have you hit the nail on the head with this post or WHAT.<br /><br />Thanks for this encouragement, it's so good to be reminded that others struggle with these things too <3Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626716032468548068.post-24702379326951706982016-02-18T10:48:08.870-08:002016-02-18T10:48:08.870-08:00Thanks so much for your prayers!

Thanks so much for sharing it! It's always so encouraging knowing that everyone goes through hard, vulnerable times.... So thanks for sharing to! <br /><br />Thanks for the comment Heidi!

And it can take a while sometimes, wrestling and seeking His face, but (as you also highlighted) He holds us through all of it. :)<br /><br />with love in Christ,<br />~HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.com
