How funny it was to go to church today and hear  just what I was talking
about in my email.. the pastor gqave an example of a person standing on the
edge of a cliff holding on to a branch about to fall hundreds of feet to the
ground below.  In desperation he cries out to God for help, God asks if he
trust him, the man replies of course I do, God says to him, "Jump, I'll
catch you."

Hi Rhonda,
One thing to think about is, when you acknowledge that  you are weak, 
or unable, you more easily give up control and that's when God can 
step into your circumstances with out having to wrestle with 
you.  Also, if He helps, then He gets the glory and we get the 
blessing.  Just a thought.
