Haha! I liked that, only the worm is free from stumbling. I don't want to be a worm. I've been one before, and I got stepped on all the time.
Not much to write I guess. I'm so sick of hope. The Bible verse keeps going through my mind: hope deferred makes the heart sick. My heart is sick and tired. I'm doing this 14 day thing, and I'm trying not to hope it will help because if it doesn't then what? But I'm doing this anyway. I know my brain needs changing, and I'm probably making lousy decisions. And yeah, I know that sometimes bad things happen that God allows. But He knows what He's doing. But I've been making some really really good decisions too, and nothing good is coming from them. I still trust in God, but I don't know who God is. He's love, but I don't know that love. I mean I'm saved and all, but how do I know His love when I've never known love. What truly is love? I've studied I Cor 13. I want that love in my life.

Very nice post.
As I read I could feel yours words.
I had so many many answers;I thought.
After I got of the way this verse came to me and I hope it helps.
Matthew 6:33:

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

GBU as you step.

In Christ,
Real

That's a verse I've been thinking about today. Also, to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might... put on the whole armor.... and our fight is not with flesh and blood. I've been struggling to make a better life for my family, but I've been struggling in worldly ways. I need to make sure I am strong in God, and constantly seeking Him above all else.

Amen.
I also have to remind myself of this verse sis:

Mark 4:19: but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.

Keep stepping. .

GBU

jennifergn,

One thing is read within your shared words are anger...and lots of anger....and most of the time your anger is directed towards God and how you feel He isn't helping you....He really does want to help you...but jennifer your keep expressing unrighteous anger towards Him and pushing Him away....you need to draw closer to him.....to work on your relationship with Him...and then you will see that He is able to bless you with good things....you can do this...keep working the steps.

*hugs*
