I can also think of times where i was so angry with God that i just wanted
to just walk away.  Like take when my dad died for example.  I was so angry,
hurt, confused.  But then again I knew i had to lean on him even though i
was so mad at him!  Did I hate him?  Maybe for the plane ride home i did.
But i think he knew the trama I had just endured... alone i might add... and
He still got me safely home.  Though, i can onestly tell you i remember
nothing about the plane ride home.

As I said before though to turn this around a little.  I then must be the
weird one as I have never thought such things.  If the bible says we are to
trust God and lean not to our own understanding, and if we do this, and if
we trust him as do children then we won't have such thoughts?  Perhaps all
this is just too difficult for me to understand.  All I can say is If I
weren't going to heaven God certainly has done more than he should do for
me.  Even if he did nothing more than to give me life, that alone would be
enough to trust he knows best.  I do have trouble figuring why he does
things which make no sense to me, but, then, I am not the brightest bulb in
the lamp, and probably wouldn't understand his master plan for me and my
loved ones if he took time to sit down and to explain it to me.  I suppose I
was just saying I couldn't understand how one can have such negative
thoughts when scripture clearly contradicts them.  I suppose I never will.
I am just glad I don't have them.  They must be horrible to think.  Phil
knows better than do I but it seems if you just tell those with whom you
pray to believe God will take care of them, and no matter what happens if
they wait long enough the difficult times will reveal eventually an easier
path.  It happened with Job after all.  God's time is not our own.  so one
may have to wait quite a time to be shown happier times but they will come,
because God never gives us any more than we can carry, and if we feel over
whelmed, all we have to do is to turn the entire problem to God and not to
worry over it any more and he will do what worrying that may be necessary.
They will be assured with these reminders.  I know I have been.  In the past
I have shown poor confidents but time has proven
God's faithfulness though I have not been as sure of him as I would have
liked to be.  Sharon, when you wonder whether you are going to heaven just
know God has prepared a place for you.  If it were not so, he would have
told you otherwise.
