What an incredib...Oh, my goodness... crying, here. What an incredible post. <br /><br />I started running this spring, and although I'm still struggling to do a whole 5K, it's all relative... it sure feels like a full marathon to my non-runner's body! <br /><br />Post-bankruptcy, I've spent lots of mornings on the trail crying out to God... "Why is this taking so long? If You own the cattle on all those 1000's of hills, how about sharing some of the income with me? This is too hard... I'll never see my children... it's too much for us, this journey is too difficult." And the answer I've heard, over and over again, is "Are you going to finish strong, or are you going to stumble and fall over every bump in the trail?" <br /><br />Now that we have gotten our referral (YAY!), the trail is still full of roots and bumps. But the finish line is in sight for us, and it does make all the difference. Your finish line is there, too... around one of these corners. Hang in there: the God who loves your kids more than you do will certainly see you through to the end.<br /><br />Thanks for an amazing, encouraging post; I'm bookmarking this one. :)Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891216932932620489noreply@blogger.com
