sjohn,I am not a pillar of anything! I just take all my fear, despair, bitterness, vengefulness to God and cry and scream and beg it all out to Him. I do this every day, sometimes many times a day. And in return for that obedience, He gives me some peace and clarity in between, and that is what you are seeing.
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
