Destiny,

I have to admit, I am at a loss of words for you right now. Faith is such an individual thing for each of us. Most will try to get you to follow or believe, because they do.

It should be really clear to you now though, that this really is your path to walk. Your growth, your insight, your beliefs. It is not up to someone else to "heal" you. It falls on you Destiny.

The Bible is open to interpretation. The different denominations are proof of that. We can choose, and believe what we choose.

All I can do is tell you....

Our MLCers are going through one of the toughest things they will ever face, yet so are we, the LBS. All of the talk of hitting "rock bottom" that they must do. Well guess what?

So do WE.....

Yes, the LBS hits a time that can be described as "rock bottom" . It is one of our lowest points. The time when we can justify everything that has been described by you here. The Bible refers to it as "The Threshing Floor". It is the place where we can confess all . We come to our knees, doubting, and ask for forgiveness.

It is the place where we can give all of our anger, and confess ourselves.

This is painful, yet necessary for us to grow and learn.

Destiny, It is normal to question God. Maybe it can be viewed as our responsibility to question.

From a poster that has been on the "Threshing Floor"........

You view this as a weak time in your life. I did as well.

I view this as strength in you. Even if it is just the ability to look inside of yourself that deeply.

Everything that you are, and will become, will be built from the ashes that you were before this.

That is a must........

Be kind to you Destiny, and know that there is a reason you are here, and who you are.

From these ashes, you are meant to rise. This time is about you.....

Peace to you through this
