This is so true. I'm glad you responded, this is so great to read. Everything's not going to be all great and perfect but we still have to see God in it.
While I normally friends lock my posts, I felt this one should be made public. I am not ashamed of my faith nor do I, as one friend put it, "beat people over the head with my Bible." Heh. I tell them, it isn't my job to convince people of the Truth, just to speak it. I leave the convincing to the Holy Spirit. He's the expert. ;-D
Whenever I speak on this, I point to the parable of the sower. The sower soweth the Word. He doesn't control the ground the seed falls on, nor does he continually dig it up to see if it has taken root. He lets Nature take its course.
This is where a lot of people get frustrated because they want to be in control of another person's spiritual growth rather than letting go, and letting God.
Right now, I'm trying to come to terms with infertility. It's very hard. But if the Lord wants me to experience, to know, and to pass on, then that's what I'll do. My Lord and Savior exists outside time, knowing my life and my choices, while giving me free will.
My default setting is "Mom." I wanted to have 3 children, but only gave birth to one. And considering my age and the fact that I seem to be entering menopause, it doesn't seem there is be a likelihood of more.
However, over the years I seem to have become a kind of surrogate mom to I don't know how many thus far. Jim's former girlfriend most significantly. (People constantly thought she was my daughter.) I can live with that. ;-D
