Glad it struck a chord with you. Christ is always there for us, inviting us to follow him. It's especially comforting when things are tough.

Been worried about you. I will keep you in my prayers. I'm glad that you are such a strong person, but take some time out for yourself... just to be weak, and fall apart, it will give you the strength to keep going. *hugs*Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120459484825947654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412599672217240831.post-35000718887851875812012-01-09T11:29:50.521-07:002012-01-09T11:29:50.521-07:00I write about the same things OVER AND OVER AGAIN....I write about the same things OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I learn, then re-learn (or learn it a little deeper - or am reminded of a truth); life is like that! I think you are perfectly normal for this, as am I... :) <br /><br />I also think it is normal NOT to want a trial, during it, but to find blessings in it and be thankful for it later. I, like you, strive to find the rose among the thorns while feeling the blood dripping down from the thorns. I'm glad we strive to focus on the rose... Now we just need to remember that to feel the piercing of the thorn simply shows that we are human. I think it is great that you choose to again redirect your mind to the rose even while in pain from the thorns... ;)<br />Corine :DCorine Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353150427363546277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412599672217240831.post-52210537902523221612012-01-09T09:34:25.963-07:002012-01-09T09:34:25.963-07:00Great post Valerie. :o)

I am impatient at times but I hope that as I strive to leave my worries in his hands (especially relating to His timetable) that I am growing stronger and more patient. Love you.

I love the thoughts here and it makes me want to go and listen to this talk (I think I will). I feel like I am such a late bloomer to the gospel not being a member all my life it has taken me my whole life so far to really start understanding some concepts and I have a long way to go.<br />You inspire me - Your faith and your Testimony lift me up!CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911579093553356167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412599672217240831.post-52680634851279910282012-01-08T19:37:56.958-07:002012-01-08T19:37:56.958-07:00Thanks for that great thought.
