How do I even begin?

I have thought about this post all day and I am am still at a loss, how does one even begin? It is a heartfelt and thoughtful post. One that makes me go hummmm.

It seems that is was time for a trial of my faith. It happens every so often. I should learn to expect it but I don't. I just get blindsided and then pick up the pieces and continue on. I think a trial is a good thing, while not fun but still good because when you on the other side you are able to look back and say, wow.

It appeared that the strong people were are under attack. I have watch dear friends go through some pretty rough trials of their faith. it is so hard to watch. It makes me ache and cry for them. It make my start to think. The BOOM, my own personal trial is sitting right there for me to deal with. The one thing I can say is that I am so blessed. I have such a wonderful DH that is there for me. He is my rock, he is my best friend, he is my dear husband. I truly know why I have been married to him for almost 16 years. I am also blessed to have some really wonderful friends. There are three that have been very instrumental in helping my through this. I believe that they were inspired to say just the right thing at just the right time. These three women are incredibly faithful women and I love faithful women. I am always amazed but the faith women have, that we can endure such trials and keep going to make it to the other side.

To these three women, they will know who they are. I simply love you. To my friend that listened to me cry and then told me simply, write, write it all down. That has been wonderful. Writing, I love to write, not that you could tell from this blog. To my other friend that said, you are looking in the wrong place, this is where you need to look. This is who you need to call. I would have never thought to look the places that you told me to look. It has made all the difference. To my third dear friend, your music is what made the difference. I was VERY guided to ask you specifically for the music. If you only knew, it touched my soul. These three women and wonderful examples to me.

So about this trial, I am not completely through it, but I can see the light and that is a wonderful feeling. Heavenly Father will get me through this. He places the right people in the right places. In order to feel joy, you must feel pain and be able to joy to the fullest. Like other trials in life, there is an end. You just must hand it all over to God and say, I give this all to you. I can not do this without You. I have handed it over and there is nothing like the feeling.

Awww...Menj. You KNOW I am crying right now. Please. Read 2 Corinthians 4:15 - 18. Right NOW. It has helped me so much. I don't know what you're going through, but it doesn't matter. You will get through it and I am praying for you. Remember the great and encouraging things you said to me when I was hurting? He is with you too of course. ((((HUGS))))
