My random ramblings...
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37v4.

*sad*
Struggling a bit today... though i'll get myself going again soon enough i suspect... A friend of mine is suffering from a long-term illness at the moment, which is essentially 'baffling' the docs... What i'm struggling with is the severe lack of quality of life that the person has at the moment - really hard to watch someone you love struggle that way... but moreso the fact that it's like a rollercoaster... everytime there's a little ray of hope... or a couple of 'good days' you allow yourself to believe, 'maybe this time....' but no. Well yesterday they had an 'ok' day... i spoke to them on the phone and they sounded bright and happy enough i guess... but today is a different story... it's heart wrenching. Like really gutting.

Where is God in this I hear you ask?

Well.... my heart says that he's right beside them and their partner... and he's supporting them both in this difficult and confusing time...

for some reason, even knowing the above doesn't make it any easier to deal with........... i think it's probably the element of hope (that seems to keep being snatched away) which is causing most damage.....

but hey, what do i know.....

Our God is an Awesome God,
He reigns from heaven above
with wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God......

God is Love... i guess that's why its so hard to understand why he lets stuff like this happen... but i don't know. In some ways i guess we've created this mess for ourselves....
