Cross too heavy to bear?
Justin's other mother sent me this:
Thanks, Carol - this is so true! In fact, that was part of what I said yesterday at the PLEA pro-life banquet in Maine: I wouldn't change a single hardship I went through in my life because they are so much part of who I am today.
When Jesus asked God if He could to take the cup, he ended by saying, "Not my will, but yours be done." We MUST remember to end our prayers that way ourselves. We just can't see with God's vision - and we never know how God will use something later on.
Now that I'm older, it's easier for me to see this than when I was younger.
You'll just have to trust me on this one - but most of all, trust God!

I just found your blog while wandering around the internet and just wanted to say thank you. I really appreciate a refreshing Christian blog out there among all the other "colorful" ones!

Oh dear! Talk about getting to the point!
My pastor uses an analogy where he says (my paraphrase, he's much more eloquent than I) Trying to make it through your life without God's help is like getting out of a plane and trying to push it to your destination.
Thanks for sharing Barbara.
