Drawing near.....
I read this one a blog yesterday and it’s been in my mind ever since……
“He isn’t intimidated by my disappointment. It doesn’t make God turn away from me because I wish that things were different sometimes, in fact, it makes Him come nearer."
I know at some point in my Christian walk, maybe more times that I care to admit I’ve been “disappointed in God”. Not to the point where I would ever turn away, but wondering, “Why? I don’t understand? It’s not fair, YOU are God…..the Creator of the Universe!”
Reading Angie’s words I was reminded that its okay for me to feel those things towards Him……He’s still going to love me even still. Now isn’t that a wonderful Father? It brings me back to my post a few weeks ago….I don’t always have to understand, I just have to Trust Him and draw near!
*on a side note, many have commented that it looked like I was "glowing" in the picture of Ama. I most definitely not pregnant....I think holding a newborn just has a way of doing that to women! :)

I love this quote! Angie's blog ministers to me in so many ways. Especially in light of other similar situations that we know of.
That's is sometimes hard to remember, at least for me. I get so caught up in my own thoughts and the world, that I can't focus on God.
Thanks for the reminder.
Have a great day!
very powerful thoughts.
