Great Quotes Sent By Friends...

Quoting Andrew Murray; "First He brought me here, it is by His will I am in this strait place: in that fact I will rest. Next, He will keep me here in His love, and give me grace to behave as His child. Then, He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me lessons He intends me to learn, and working in me the grace He means to bestow. Last, in His good time He can bring me out again - how and when He knows. Let me say I am here, 1) By God's appointment, 2) In His keeping, 3) Under His training, 4) For His time."

(Thank you, Donna.)

Quoting C. H. Spurgeon... The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down. (Psalm l46:8) Am I bowed down? Then let me urge this word of grace before the Lord. It is His way, His custom, His promise, His delight, to raise up them that are bowed down. ... the Comforter has undertaken to console. What a mercy for us that one Person of the sacred Trinity should become the Comforter! This work will be well done since such a glorious One has made it His peculiar care. Some are so bowed down that only Jesus can loose them from their infirmity, but He can, and He will, do it. He can raise us up to health, to hope, to happiness. He has often done so under former trials, and He is the same Savior and will repeat His deeds of lovingkindness. We who are today bowed down and sorrowful shalt yet be set on high... What an honor to be raised up by the Lord! It is worthwhile to be bowed down that we may experience His upraising power.

(Thank You, Logan.)

I love you Fanny Fo. She never told me about the wigs!

Thank you for these sweet words!

One of the best things about this trial is that it has knocked down my self importance a few notches! What a blessed thing - as hard as it is. I've been so prideful.

... and one nice side effect is that I don't care if I sound like a dope! What freedom! He He! XOXO
