Thanks ...Welcome Chelsey♥<BR/><BR/>This was just incredible. Thanks for sharing your heart and your struggle with us.<BR/><BR/>I feel like I've been down your path, one too many times.<BR/><BR/>I lost my dad 2 years after I lost my mom, then a brother, and the list goes on. I've cried out to God many times looking for the answers.<BR/><BR/>Like you I've come to learn God is teaching me to TRUST HIM, and keep my eyes on the prize.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you sister!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495342741364402414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-75252474293026474072008-06-07T14:34:00.000-05:002008-06-07T14:34:00.000-05:00Chelsey - Great post. As most of my "bloggy frien...Chelsey - Great post. As most of my "bloggy friends" know, I've been asking "why" of the Lord a lot lately!! As you said, it's ok to ask. He has however shown me that without these trials I wouldn't know Him, love Him, and trust Him as I do now. I don't like my circumstances, but they are what they are. And God is God. His heart is ALWAYS good!<BR/><BR/>I look forward to visiting your blog.<BR/><BR/>-SherylSherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005663095818742053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-6858529967421602462008-06-07T12:55:00.000-05:002008-06-07T12:55:00.000-05:00Chelsey, I am sorry for the loss of your mother, ...Chelsey,<BR/> I am sorry for the loss of your mother, father-in-law and best friend. Those are extremely hard storms to weather.<BR/><BR/> The storms come sometimes so powerfully that all that is inside you is shakened. Somedays it feels almost like you will not be able to hold on and fight your way through... Yes, I have been there.<BR/><BR/> I remember a friend telling me in the midst about a dream she had. In the dream the winds were blowing, the storms around her powerful...she was losing her grip, until she saw the hand holding her tight. God spoke to her in that moment and said, "You won't let go, cause I am holding onto you."<BR/>Those words gave me life. I was so afraid I was going to let go of God...my faith was being tested in ways that I was losing my grip....But He was holding onto me.<BR/><BR/> Personally I think everything in life comes back to trust. Do I really trust Him. In the storms of life I have found Him in ways I had only dreamed of.<BR/><BR/> Thanks for sharing your heart and journey. It's good to have you here with us on this blog.<BR/><BR/> Hugs,<BR/>JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-29040845662042047512008-06-07T11:35:00.000-05:002008-06-07T11:35:00.000-05:00This was excellent Chelsey.

I do trust that He is all powerful and all knowing and that my limited view of things is lacking... so lacking. It's tough though.

Sometimes we think that as a Christian, we won't struggle or have difficulites, and we don't think it is FAIR that we do....<BR/><BR/>But Jesus says that in this world, we WILL have trouble, but to TAKE HEART because He has overcome the world. Jesus helps us through and uses these trials to refine us, to make us stronger in the faith.<BR/><BR/>Beautifully written, Chelsey.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>TracyTracy Berta-daughter to the King, wife, mother, speaker, writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182790179432456441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-52637747974694770772008-06-07T09:07:00.000-05:002008-06-07T09:07:00.000-05:00Chelsey, Isaiah 55:8-9 is also what I stand on whe...Chelsey, Isaiah 55:8-9 is also what I stand on when I don't get all that God is doing. <BR/><BR/>Wonderful stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-76044904154735425002008-06-07T08:21:00.000-05:002008-06-07T08:21:00.000-05:00Welcome to Internet Cafe!

It is so easy to allow fear, doubt, and distrust to cloud our relationship with the Lord. But, we must rest in the fact that the Son will shine in our hearts and in our lives if we submit to the process with joy and simple trust!
