for those of you who believe in the lord, just read this and it will give you strength!!!

Just what is it in me?

sometimes I just don't know

what keeps me in your love

why you never let me go

And though you're in me now

I fall and hurt you still

My Lord please show me how

to know just how you feel

You have forgiven me

too many times it seems

I feel I'm not what you might call

a worthy Christian after all

And though I love you so temptations

finds it's way to me

Teach me to trust in You

with all of my heart

to lean not on my own understanding

coz' I just forget

You won't give me what we can't bear

Take me out of the dark My Lord

I don't want to be there

You never left my side

You gave Your hand to me

to hold You,oh Jesus

I'm no longer in the cold

And yet I leave You there

when I feel satisfied

I'd like to thank You everyday

not only when I feel that way

I've never known a man

who'd give His life for sinners like me

And yet because He loves us so

He promised us eternity

And we can have His promise

and be His if have faith and

just believe..

Teach us to trust in You

with all our heart

to lean not on our own understanding

cause we just forget

You won't give us what we can't bear

Take us out of the dark our Lord

We don't want to be there

Teach me to trust in You

with all of my heart

to lean not on my own understanding

'cause I just forget

You might give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark My Lord

I we don't want to be alone

You take me out of the dark,My lord

i don't want to be there!

That is beautiful. I have often asked God to guide me through my pain, and have come to the conclusion that He has a different plans for me. Mine is not to question WHY.

My dearest friend it going through a rough time with her son, and she told me "I leave it to His will for he loves my son more than I do" I thought -- Wow -- because she love her son more than life itself.

Our obligation is to learn from each experience, and to become better than we were before, and to have faith.

Thank you.....

you know in the hard times you sometimes forget that you still have Him and He will always love you and if you know Him and believe in Him you are NEVER alone.

There are 2 paths, one with the footsteps of you and the other with the footsteps of God next to it. In the hard times you only see one pair of footsteps, that is because He is carrying you trough it.

Hang in there -- it will get better, I promise. I had responded to one of you first posts, but my computer froze and I was never sent -- oh well. There were some parallels in out stories. I wasn't with my ex for 4 years like you, only one. But I got the same - "I need space" BS - but not a total break off. He already had someone in the wings that he wanted to explore the possibilities with. I don't think he wanted to break it off with me until he knew what would happen with this other woman. Let's just say I found out about all this by running into him at a restaurant a week after getting the I Need Space spiel. He was with her and his 2 kids. I didn't realize he was there until it was too late to turn around and leave. YUK...Luckly we didn't have to make eye contact. It was horrible. They left before we did (my 2 kids and I) which was good because I would have had to walk past their table. That was the longest 25 minutes of my life. I came home, called up my best friend, and cried and screamed like some wounded animal -- I think I scared her some. She is very deep in her faith and told me that she doesn't believe in coincidences. She said that I was meant to see them. At least I knew the real reason why he needed space.

Anyway, I just tell you my story so you know that the pain and hearache does get better. You WILL NOT feel the way you feel forever. I know it can seem like it at first, but the human spirit is very resilient.

Take care of yourself -- remind yourself to eat, drink, and BREATH!
