Jer just spent over an hour doing some personal bible study/reading... Feeling a little more at peace... Trying hard to focus on me, trust that God is working within this situation and does have a plan and good future for me and my children, and trying to remember to be thankful for the many blessings that I have been given in my life including some throughout this storm in my family's life.
And I include the many people in this forum in those blessings...
One of the things that I read during this past hour was 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 -- Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
This made me think of all of the people on this forum who've been through this crazy MLC journey and who spend time here responding to those of us who are just beginning this journey or who are right in the middle of this crazy journey -- so many of you are doing exactly what is spoken of in that passage -- you are guiding us and comforting us (as much as anyone can be comforted in this situation) with your experience and the knowledge that you gained as you went through this. And that is something that I do consider a great blessing during this time in my life... I'm not sure I'd be where I am right now in this process if it weren't for the archived posts filled with tons of great information and the many people here who take time to share, respond, push-back, and provide guidance.
