…When we say we can’t handle anymore?

I had a close friend ask me that a couple of hours ago.  Not only is this friend dealing with some MAJOR health issues and personal issues, but they found out last night that a member of the church that they were fairly close too was coming back from the doctor’s office when she told her husband that she didn’t feel good, and had what they are assuming was a heart attack and died.  I wasn’t sure what to tell my friend, other than I didn’t think that God got mad when we feel like we’ve reached the end of our ropes…..didn’t Job in the Bible?  Maybe Jonah had too?  I mean he was running from God for a little while.  What about the king that wasn’t eating while his child was sick, but when he received word that the child had died, he got up and was eating, MUCH to the astonishment of his servants.  I would have to say that not eating because your child is sick is POSSIBLY trying to tell God that you can’t handle anymore, don’t you think?  God is a loving God…and He understands our human weaknesses.  Sometimes we may wonder “Why Now, Lord?”, but someday, I believe it will all make sense.  Lord knows that I’ve been to the point myself when I have said that I couldn’t take anymore…..ALOT!!!

I’d be interested in your opinions…..do you think God gets mad when we’ve had enough?  If so, why?  If not, why not?

God Bless!!!

Wellllllll, I have been trying to figure out for several days the direction that I wanted to take for an entry over here…and I have yet to figure it out completely, but here I am anyway.

I have been spending quite a bit of time with a friend the last 3 or 4 weeks.  Remodeling a house requires that sometimes.  I have to admit that I have enjoyed our time together….even when we haven’t been working on the house!!!  The things that are presented in my relationship with this person are totally foreign to me in some cases…..uncharted, unexplored territory.  I have to say that it has been a pleasant experience, though!!!  It has opened up some possibilities that we have been exploring and debating and thinking about.  Some possibilities that I’m not sure that I had ever realized existed for us before!!!  Some of them are hard to believe, in a certain way.  It’s one of those cases of…”Can this REALLY happen to US?”  I have to say that what we have been discussing and exploring as options would only be GOOD for us, though!!!

Other than that, just have been keeping busy….doing this and that and something else.  Have been doing a bit of reading, but not much.  Hope to do more in the next couple of weeks, maybe!!!  As well as having the house a whole bunch closer to being completed!!!

Well, I have to get running again, so God Bless!!!!
