Feel, I like your posts. So very intuitive. I just wanted to add a little something. "And he never gives you more than you can handle." Along the same lines as 'He will bring you through it.'
When I found out about my husbands cheating I asked my Mom to not let me lose my faith in God and for her to remind me of that. At the time it was like looking down a dark tunnel, tunnel vision if you will, and not seeing any light at the end. At the time it was important to me, I was scared that I would turn my back like a lot of people do when they go through trials. Anyway, over the months she has reminded me of what I told her to remind me. For that I am Thankful. I could have easily gone the other way. Just a little story.
Anyway, Thanks for your posts!

I had that as my Tag line for a really long time! I've lived it - and I surely believe it! ;D
Re: Questioning God ctrlaltdelete: Something to consider -
Why is it that when everything is going well, few people take the time to praise God for the blessings, but when everything goes wrong, God is the first one to get blamed? "God is picking on me" or "God hates me" or that other vile quote that I care not to repeat (see earlier post). You want to see something go to Hell, how about addressing the one that already lives there - ever think maybe Satan was at the root of some of our troubles, and not God? How often does he get blamed? Not as often as God, I tell you.
Our lives are full of choices. He gave us free will. Consider that sometimes we get ourselves into our own messes by wandering from God. How is that His fault? It's time we take responsibility for our own choices and stop blaming God for everything.
