Jyoung20 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Where to begin-- The last year has been devastating in my family. It seems that as soon as we deal with one issue something else arises. Three weeks ago, my FIL passed away. Today, we find out the results from my dad's colonoscopy. (they found 15 polyps, one pre-cancerous lesion and we are waiting for the biopsy report) My mom is going to need surgery for a goiter possible caused by her breast cancer medication (she was dx in January) There are many other things that have happened but I won't go into details. My husband asked if GOD was testing us. I said, "I don't know". But, we are always being tested by the devil. Keeping the faith and prayer will give us a stronger family bond. I'm sorry about venting but I needed to get these things off of my chest and I knew you would listen. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you so much. God Bless!!

Cindy RN Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Seems like you have had your fair share. Keep relying on God. This world is certainly not perfect, if it were it would be called Heaven. As long as we are here I believe the trials we go thru can strengthen our Faith in Him. The more we have to rely on Him the stronger we become. My prayers are with you.

Ann Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Jamie, it seems that some families have more than their fair share of burdens and Your family definitley qualifies. I'm a firm believer that surviving tough ordeals in life really make you stronger. I know that I'm a much stronger, and in may ways better, person after losing Dennis. I guess I had always depended on someone else and suddenly I realized that it was just me and God. You deserve a big ole hug (((((((((((((((((((JAMIE))))))))))))))) and lots of prayers! I'm sending both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wood Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 There is no clear answer to why bad things happen to good people. We are asked to keep the faith, rely on God and do what we can to learn from the experience and make this a better world. You and family are in my prayers.

bunny Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Don put it beautifully, but that's what I believe too - we're in gods hands, even when it feels like we're being dropped on our you-know-whats. you've had so much to work through, but you are a strong woman of faith, and you can do it! that said, I'm so sorry you have so much on your plate. vent away, heaven knows I have. xoxo bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patkid Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Here is something that helps me: God does not use life's consequences to get back at us. God uses life's consequences to GET US BACK. NB: God does not send, allow or cause the life consequences that are ours by our human nature. HE USES them to bring us back to HIM and to allow us to be an instrument for showing others His power and faithfulness. May HE bless you, dear. Your struggles feel like so much more than just a few consequences, don't they? Rather they feel like piling on and unnecessary roughness, (it is football season)!! We are here for you for support. Brian and I have your family firmly in prayer. Call on all of us for reminders of how much we care and how we try to understand whenever you would like. Lots of love and hugs.
