Yes, a hard gift, but such a loving gift from a loving Father. Oh to be able to see beyond the now. But that's why God asks for our trust. Oh to be able to trust ~ my bigger prayer.Sue Tellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189827741877609521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195100567699162639.post-87592941641959304782014-02-27T06:05:55.249-07:002014-02-27T06:05:55.249-07:00What a beautiful image!

The words in Psalm 139 were quite significant for me during the 2 years I spent living in Florida with my family. God hemmed me in by depriving me of friendships, community, and the work I was accustomed to, but the result was that I was finally able to receive a new vision from him. I will always be grateful for those years when His hand was so heavy on me, keeping me from the spacious places I wanted. But the experience was not easy. It was a great gift, but it was not easy to receive.Christie Purifoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571119031038645790noreply@blogger.com
