But in all, I've learned to open my heart to Him so that even when I can't feel Him, or see proves of His hand on my life I just look around and into other people's life and encourage myself that He is in my neighborhood. <br />Thank you Laura for sharing this encouragement. It feels great to know that we are not alone in our challenges. <br />Thank you Ma for stopping by my blog.Grace Esedekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847969924562129144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-50131737152463256382015-09-02T22:18:47.807-05:002015-09-02T22:18:47.807-05:00You are one step ahead of me, Laura!

He keeps pouring out His loving, helping me to understand that He really knows what He's doing. :)Laurahttp://www.godwardwithlaura.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-8799405497732184672015-09-02T15:45:58.127-05:002015-09-02T15:45:58.127-05:00I'm so glad those purple flowers were on your ...I'm so glad those purple flowers were on your windowsill. I think I get frustrated with myself more often than with God. I guess I learned a long time ago that God is God and I'm not - It's what I call Theology 101 - it keeps me from getting bogged down in my ego (get thee behind me!).

Sometimes it's a struggle to trust God's ways and timing are so much better than ours. I was touched that as you cried, "Where are you?!?," your eyes opened to see God in the African Violet flowers. I've been thinking lately that even when I can't "feel" God, evidences of Him and His love are right in front of me when I open my heart to them. Glad I am your neighbor at raralinkup. :)Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179372917600231306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-30303681649611014292015-09-02T15:32:33.081-05:002015-09-02T15:32:33.081-05:00Times like that I find the Psalms to be so helpful...Times like that I find the Psalms to be so helpful for the ways they acknowledge and move through frustration.kchripczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585289101589690551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-63370824099639143442015-09-02T00:56:30.335-05:002015-09-02T00:56:30.335-05:00The Lord is definately with me in my own frustrati...The Lord is definately with me in my own frustration. I don't like being frustrated with God either, but I think it allows me to seek Him with even greater desperation.

My emotions say I am, but my head and my heart refuse to agree. Because I know better." It is strange when things like frustration pose as rights, but as you so beautifully illustrated with your words HE IS SO MUCH BIGGER. Thanks!

It is hard to trust in that when illness, broken relationships, etc are happening, but God has away of bringing us through in God's timing. Blessed to be your neighbor at the RaRa Linkup today! :)Tara Ulrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619365758739247929noreply@blogger.com
