Just last night I was throwing myself a pity party wondering if I'm going to always be like this. It's a daily, hourly, moment-by-moment battle to not desire health, a meaningful job, etc. before the Lord. You are not alone friend.

I guess looking at the lives my friends have and wishing I could do the things they do is coveting their lives, careers, health, freedom, relationships. I've been struggling again the last few days, desperately sad that I'm stuck in this life, desperately lonely.

Its a hard word to hear but something I'm going to have to think and pray about!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095641244876935060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359574645706637258.post-51522036205456886492011-07-20T07:32:49.733-05:002011-07-20T07:32:49.733-05:00I have so few words... your posts always convict m...I have so few words... your posts always convict me to the core. I am praying for you friend. There will be an end to all of your pain one day. Praying He gives grace to you one moment at a time, and joy to keep trusting in the midst of such tremendous suffering. Love you. -bfmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
