One bold message in the book of Job is that you can say anything to God. Throw at God your grief, your anger, your doubt, your bitterness, your betrayal, your disappointment—God can absorb them all. As often as not, spiritual giants of the Bible are shown contending with God. They prefer to go away limping, like Jacob, rather than to shut God out. In this respect, the Bible prefigures a tenet of modern psychology: you can’t really deny your feelings or make them disappear, so you might as well express them. God can deal with every human response save one. God cannot abide the response I fall back on instinctively: an attempt to ignore God or act as though God does not exist. That response never once occurred to Job. – Philip Yancey in Disappointment with God

GARY ~ yes, that is very common; or like JONAH, he ran from GOD; but as he learned, you can run, but you cannot hide from Him!!!

THANK GOD -- that He is patient, and forgiving, and tolerant, and so loving; that He won't let us wander for long. He comes after us ... He woos us back to Himself through His blessed Holy Spirit and His beautiful son, JESUS.

Sending up some extra ^Prayers^ for our friend, BARGOO as she is having some medical issues at this time. They have run some tests & she is waiting to hear from them. Praying for a quick, correct diagnosis so her doctors can get the best treatments to her ASAP ...

EZ -- I really like the things you post in here. Thanks.

bargoo -- prayers heading out for you.

Update on SiL w/thyroid cancer -- she had her thyroid removed yesterday, cancer did not spread anywhere else. No chemo or radiation necessary, just hormones and iodine pills for life. She may need to take some kind of radiation pill (??) but not too sure on that (keep in mind I got that particular bit of info from my 84 yr. old mom who sometimes gets things mixed up).

My other SiL is having her 2nd of who knows how many chemo treatments today. She was in good spirits both mentally and physically earlier this week . . I can't even imagine how taxing all of this is on a person (and truthfully and selfishly? I don't want to know.

)

Thank you all again for your continued prayers and good thoughts.

loose seal, praying for both SIL, that they will find healing. God is able.

LOOSESEAL ~ Praize GOD -- that's good news all round; praying your SIL will be blessed with strength & comfort druing her treatments. Hopefully, your other SIL won't need any; ^Prayers^ continue ...

PRAYER REQUESTS PLEASE ~ the first one is for a 4 y/o boy, named NOAH FIGURKA, who has cancer; I'm sure his family could use prayers too.

The second is my DH again ~ once again, I was awakened by a crash this AM -- he said he tripped over the dog (which I have done myself), but he fell quite hard, and he was quite stunned at first and has re-hurt his side/ribs. This time, I am insisting he get himself checked out at the hospital tomorrow as he groans when he bends over. I wanted him to go today, but he said they will just tell him to come back tomorrow anyways; and he is right, they will ... thanks, in advance!

EZMONEY · 02-12-2012, 07:45 PM

Prayers just keep on coming....

bargoo · 02-12-2012, 09:00 PM

Praying for Noah and his family. Praying for Rosebuds DH . Praying for healing all around.

ronni62 · 02-13-2012, 05:48 PM

Praying for all

Justwant2Bhealthy · 02-13-2012, 08:40 PM

THANKS for the Prayers for DH ~ DH went up to the hospital early today, and they checked him out good. No broken ribs, but bruised which is painful enuff really. They told him that it will take awhile to heal, but he will be in some pain. They gave him some meds, but he will try to brave it out -- that's just the way he is.

The DOC told him to rest. Ha! Trying to get him to rest is a joke, cuz he moves around like the Ever-ready Battery Bunny -- he just goes and goes and goes ... he said, "You know that I can't just sit around; I'll go bonkers!" What can I say, I'm the same, but if I'm really hurting, I will lay down for a while, but he says it hurts when he lays down, so ... instead, he paces ...

OH, I just peeked out and Dh is propped up on the couch with pillows while watching TV -- good, that's a kind of resting.

Rosebud, your DH reminds of a quote from Helen Hayes the actress who was still acting up into her eighties, she said "When you sit, you rust."

That's a good one; I told DH and he thought that was very funny! I was telling him jokes at dinnertime, and while busting a gut, he said, "Stop, stop ... you're making me hurt" ... and I said, "ya, but in a good way though". It's good to see him laughing again.

BTW, thanks for the prayers, he's feeling much better today; you can really see & hear the difference ...
