I look forward to the day when I can be in the place that you are.

You are so right in saying we have to go through it to find the beauty on the other side. Even now, nearly every day, I find some new treasure in all this and I count it as blessing.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-67570154161481179062009-03-05T20:43:00.000-05:002009-03-05T20:43:00.000-05:00Glad you're back and are feeling so peaceful about...Glad you're back and are feeling so peaceful about your journey!

Exactly something I've also been thinking about.<BR/><BR/>Just read this quote from Tozer today - "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt them deeply." And, "God discovers Himself to 'babes' and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essential, and they will be found to be blessedly few."<BR/><BR/>ShalomJohn Fincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458897526460534434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-21761937254793567362009-03-04T13:30:00.000-05:002009-03-04T13:30:00.000-05:00Funny, I was just thinking about you yesterday and...Funny, I was just thinking about you yesterday and how much I missed reading your posts. And then you write this one - one of the best ever! Such beautiful redemption, such purpose in the pain. Moments like this, we really do "count it all joy", don't we? :) I rejoice with you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363410058108479951noreply@blogger.com
