Re-read some of the stories and you'll see what they went through and how they overcame it. Think Joseph for example. Sold out by his family as a teen. Imagine what that must have been like. All those years of agony and pain and fear...but he kept believing and kept trying.
But that is my problem man. I have a hard time believing any of it. I guess what I am trying to say is that I wonder why God would let stuff like this happen to me, you or anybody that tries to do their best everyday. Then there are some people that are just mean and hateful and just seem to skate through life.

And I wouldn't trade places with her for all the tea in China. Would you? I doubt it.
Right, but I still find it hard to believe that she is going through any pain at all. It's not that I want her to, but she got everything she wanted and seems to be as happy as a pig in sh!t.
Delboy,

If I remember your Sitch correctly, would I be right in thinking that it was your Grandmother that raised you? If So, then I believe you could be carrying hurts regarding your relationship with your Mother.
Ehhh maybe. I did come from a broken home. My grandmother raised me from the time I was about 6 weeks old until I was about 5. Then I was raised by my mother, then my father and then my mother again. I jumped all over the place. I wouldn't say that I had issues with my mother though. I just bonded with my grandmother. I was more attached to her than my parents. She taught me how to write, ride a bike....I took my first steps to her and said my first words to her. I was just closer to her.
As for my mom, we were close I guess, but nothing like the closeness I had with my grandmother. We've become a little closer in recent years.
