  c o e x i s t by Sabina The life of never-ending suffering brings much misunderstanding. Many others journey the life of illness with doubt, bitterness, and "why's"  With longing cries and vocalizing their sighs Many have shared their stories of struggling to trust but still knowing HE gets the glory. But what about those who don't have this struggle?  I find much comfort in knowing each step of my life has been planned by the LORD  I know how grave a sinner I am and what an overwhelming blessing I have in CHRIST Agonizing, crushing, debilitating, yet my joy hasn't left. A smile is still on my face, so obviously it all must be okay. Thankful, grateful, blessed, so there's no way I can be depressed.  I know this is all ordained, so this isn't real pain.  Why must a real struggle have to include doubt in GOD?  Why must a heavy burden always be shown out loud?  What if the suffering is extreme but you rest in HIS overflowing love?  What if your hurt is real

“In your silent night, when you’re not alright, lift your eyes and behold HIM.” -Behold HIM by Francesca Battistelli Having an illness means that it doesn’t go away during special times in life. Still sick during the holidays. In fact, my illness has even been processing further during this season. But, even as I lay in bed with debilitating symptoms unable to live life, I can still have joy this Christmas season. Doing family worship every single day for advent (November 28-January 6) has been one of my most cherished memories these days. It is like a mini service every day with Scripture, prayer, meditations, creeds, catechism questions, and adorations! It has really set my mind to be excited on CHRIST. I’m so blessed, so blessed, y’all. Through the raw tears, through the unending pain, through my life spent in bed, through it all, I have an eternal joy in JESUS my LORD. HE holds me. I cannot express how grateful and joyful I am. Through the hard news, through the waiting, thro

 Lamentaions 3:21 " But this I call to mind,  and  therefore I have hope:" Morning Notes : Lamentaions Hello friends! This morning I read Lamentaions. LORD Willing I will be posting a lot of these short "Morning Notes" blogs as they help me gather my thoughts from my morning Scripture reading. A huge theme that struct my attention was the theme of no more comfort. Jerusalem had their comfort in this temporal world and turned away from the LORD.(Jeremiah 25:7) But, now that they have fallen, all their comfort is gone.   " Zion stretches out her hands,                           " she dwells now among the nations, but  there is none to comfort her;"                          but finds no resting place"      "she has  among all her  lovers                                  " Her princes have become like                    none to comfort her;"                                           deer  that find no pasture;"
