I had to change my smile this moment. Because a dear friend just said it all. I am the child of the king. Oh yes, I am what a precious child the thought that when I read it reminded me I am not a poor stranger. I am the daughter of king. A king that offers so much more than this darkness that I walk in. Of self doubt, fear, doubt, lonliness, confusion, grief. I am promised so much more than that. He came in my life to save me from the darkness of the world. And he made me a freewill creature. But only wants me to be changed to image of himself. I have two choices one is to sit in the darkness or one to search his light. And would I rather be darkness than in his light. Do i run to the raging waters, or do I run to the peaceful rock. Now I know that Christ died for me as he did for all. And if I draw nigh to him he will draw towards me. His loving kindness if better than life, I shall praise HIS NAME FOREVER. He is the one that is transforming me now. I am his child. He promises me rewards and blessings, how wrong I was not to see that. BUt he brought me a friend who reminded me that he is my father and he will not abandon me in this time of need. Even know I feel stupid right now because an hour before I was crying and had no peace. The spirit is alive in me, I choose not to push it away. But let it develop me and direct my new path. PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Praise God ! Do you have any idea how happy you\'ve made Him - it\'s a ruthless trust, my friend, in a Living God, that makes the difference. (but you know that already) Thank you for making the decision to cast your burdens on Him - He will fight on your behalf and cause you to overcome, prosper and become whole. (doesn\'t mean we can\'t have \'down days\' or sad red smileys - we\'re human after all ! - so don\'t feel guilty for feeling the way you do) But in all of our messes and despair, there is Someone far greater who longs to love and care for us, One whose plans for us are far greater and higher than we can even begin to imagine - HANG IN THERE !!
For I know the plans I have for you,\" declares the LORD, \"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE!
Amen !
