In 2002, days after I was married, I was involved in a car wreck that changed my life. I spent years (plural) mad, angry, sad,in pain, and every emotion you can imagine. I finally gave up my anger and have experienced many levels of healing. I still have hard days and get frustrated so I will need to spend some time here on your blog.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful day.<BR/>AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-11909643411940527572009-01-15T09:21:00.000-06:002009-01-15T09:21:00.000-06:00Thank you...you have such a blessed way with your ...Thank you...you have such a blessed way with your words (God's words!)

I appreciate you saying this, b/...Right on sista'. I appreciate you saying this, b/c it is never about us, no matter how many times we get pulled in that direction. We are just broken, mismatched, repaired vessels. I get it. I understand that your life isn't better or worse than anyone else's, it is just yours. God gives us all different things to deal with...my story is much like yours, in an eerie way. But, disease does not make nor define you. I, like you, choose joy. This does not always translate into happiness. However, there is a peace that comes with joy, and the gift that it isn't about me, I'm just part of the love story. It is SOOOOO much bigger, and that's where we should plant ourselves.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03742928359599504806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-86273439180621193102009-01-14T08:53:00.000-06:002009-01-14T08:53:00.000-06:00oh how timely this is...I received an email yester...oh how timely this is...I received an email yesterday from a friend saying how she thought my life was perfect and how her mom was more proud of me than her. I echoed your post without even knowing it. I think God uses everything for His glory and if we don't know why things happen to us...then we should just accept that it's simply that, for His glory. He wants us to give him praise through every thing!

I spent a majority of my time at mass on Sunday, praying for God to help me remember to be thankful for all things, and to keep me away from the temptation of feeling discontentment with my life. His answer was just delivered to me, via your post. You certainly are a messenger when I need it most. How else can I explain why I even found and started reading your blog? Okay, okay, it was because of your picture of Riley that comes up when you post comments on other people's sites ... maybe Riley is a prophet too : )Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127200050091648905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-49264596748789897352009-01-13T14:51:00.000-06:002009-01-13T14:51:00.000-06:00Sara, I'm taking a quote off of my Mary Engelbreit...Sara, I'm taking a quote off of my Mary Engelbreit calendar from yesterday, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart.....<BR/><BR/>"How kind you were to open the Gates of Heaven and give me that little glimpse of Paradise."<BR/><BR/>!!!<BR/>LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-32809056066473036082009-01-13T13:05:00.000-06:002009-01-13T13:05:00.000-06:00Truer words are rarely ever spoken.
