I totally get it....My husband and I have been through it....and your words could have been penned from my heart!!! I walked through (and live to tell about it) many years of wilderness waiting on a breakthrough. Moment by moment anticipating an instantaneous restoration and breakthrough...I'm tellin' ya! Through meltdowns, opressions and not knowing what the heck was going on I've found Him Faithful, merciful (He knew what His baby girl was thinking and feeling) and lovingly patient! I learned first hand (and it took awhile to get it) to hold tight to His hand, trusting Him and watching Him as He worked a work within me and brought me through to the other side.....restoration, peace, provision, etc.! Glory Hallelujah, Praise Him Forever more!!! I'll forever be "in the process" drawing me unto higher heights and deeper depths in Him. But as I look back....those wilderness times/dark times that are now bring forth treasure!! Glory Hallelujah!!<br /><br />He is Faithful!!<br />Jackie<br /><br />PS....I love your new blog look!!!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471225291665810800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-41891916459976096192010-05-10T18:44:19.642-07:002010-05-10T18:44:19.642-07:00I appreciate this post Terri.

You survived being out of work and eventually work returned. I'm going through my own challenging time, as all of us are. So your post was a refreshing reminder. Thanks.

Sometimes I have no idea, along with David from the Bible, how some people just seem to push the Easy Button in life and everything goes so smoothly. It sure hasn't been my experience!<br /><br />I hope you are having a time of success and refreshment at the conference. I take it its a writers' conference. I attend one at Mt. Hermon, in California, and loved it. And I'm so glad you get to see your daughter and granddaughter for Mother's Day!!

It takes you to a place where you have never been before. <br />A place that can be very hard and challenging. I remembered my finacial deliverance fantasies. Thinking how a family member could win the lottery and pay off my house. <br /><br />Then I began to get teaching on the word about money and little miracles began to happen. Money came in the most unusual ways. God didn't need a rich relative. He increased my finances and worked it out all on His own. Don't give up and don't back down. Expect God to rescue you. He loves doing that.<br /><br />That ram is still on the other side of the mountain.Analisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572966946453192369noreply@blogger.com
