You were able to write that post despite how you're fairing because God knows someone needs to read it and hear that He is always here. <br /><br />I would love to watch that video of your daughter, but I'm going to have to wait until I have a box of kleenex since that song always makes me cry in the first place, and just *reading* that your girl dedicate it to you has already brought tears to my eyes. :) Can't wait to meet you in person--when all this is over I am SO taking you out for coffee. :DAlison Strobel Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658394837316890075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804586883900844332.post-18767794673529923372011-06-10T12:00:42.876-07:002011-06-10T12:00:42.876-07:00Sandi, the link works, and your daughter and the s...Sandi, the link works, and your daughter and the song are beautiful.

Your testimony is powerful, my friend. <br /><br />As for feelings, I'm right with you. But I once heard a great analogy that helped me. It was about the faith train. The engine is the Word of God, the coal car is the fuel of His love through prayer. But the caboose is feeling. It's a nice part of the train but the faith train runs just fine without its caboose. That when I decided that if I never "felt" God near me again, I CHOSE to believe.<br /><br />And that's what you've done. You've dealt Satan a death blow in your life. ANd we're here to help stand in the gap for you when your longsuffering is about spent. <br /><br />May Jehovah-Rapha lay His healing hand on your body. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />AneSouthern-fried Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274634359952391833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804586883900844332.post-41641864507214094162011-06-10T07:26:15.080-07:002011-06-10T07:26:15.080-07:00Sandi-

And you are right, He is with you every step of the way, even when He feels far away. He tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. What a relief that is, especially during times of trial and illness.<br /><br />We went through the transplant situation with my friend's little boy and I remember the prayers we sent to heaven asking God that Riley would not get the grafts vs. host. Riley didn't get it (HUGE praise!) and my family and I are praying that God would protect you from it as well. We are also praying for the healing of the sores.<br /><br />Please hang in there, Sandi. There are soooo many people praying for you and for your recovery. There are so many of us who care about you and love you, even though we have never met you :) When this is all said and done, I know the Lord will give you a mighty story to write and share with others. So many lives are already being touched for His Kingdom through you.<br /><br />Take care and may you continue to rest in our Father's arms. He is our refuge, our strength, our stronghold, and our hope.<br /><br />You are His precious child whom He loves so much. May you be everaware of His loving presence today.<br /><br />Blessings in Christ,<br /><br />Penny ZellerPenny Zellerhttp://www.pennyzeller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804586883900844332.post-7504187885825842172011-06-09T21:40:17.420-07:002011-06-09T21:40:17.420-07:00So you should know that I am eagerly awaiting your...So you should know that I am eagerly awaiting your full recovery so that I can share the growth of my faith and spirituality with you. I had posted in Facebook a brief thank you to you and a couple of friends from work, but really wanted to send you a special thank you. I have so much to learn and so much room to grow and improve. You inspired me to take a new path in my life as I mentioned before in attending church and opening my mind, heart and soul to Jesus. I am forever a changed man and I can say absolutely for the better. You should know that I took you and your strength with me last Sunday to church, as I entered the water for my baptism. So, you are never alone as I, and I am sure others, carry you with us in our daily lives. So perhaps during the times when you are feeling the loneliest is when you are spiritually out with us. We all love you and your family very much. Stay strong!

But you are right - even if you don't *feel* him close, it doesn't change the TRUTH that he is absolutely there holding you, carrying you. You are his girl, you belong to him, and you are never alone. He will never (and never really means never) leave you.
