When I read the Bible I find friends I have never met. As I read their stories, I discover they have struggled like me even though they were men & women of faith.What was it then that brought them through a dark tunnel into the light & sunshine of a new day and a new season. I can now tell you all that on the 2nd of August 2018, I have had a miracle. Maybe it is a small one, but to me it has given me such a joy and fresh hope as I have not been able to write anything on my blog for over 1 year. Can you actually believe that? My computer crashed more than 1 year ago due to an upgrade, something I thought was dead simple. I managed to recover most of my favourites except “Incredimail and my blog dashboard faithforhurtinghearts.com. Today I decided to fast and pray for God to work a miracle, in my life, because in the last 3 years I have almost given up believing in the very posts I have written for my blog. Yes I am serious I have nearly given up numerous times, as the waves of depression, fear, and grief have swept over me and left me drowning gasping for air, and crying out to God. I could not hear from him and though I searched for him, my brokenness stopped me from using my faith, and belief in the one who had saved me more than 35 years ago.
I pray it is a new time for me and also for my family. We need healing and restoration, through God’s promises in his word. It is available for all who would come to him with an open heart. That’s me I have an open heart and a new hope. I will be journaling some aspects of my journey since I last posted and I am looking forward to meeting some people who have a heart for helping others and sharing. Communication is in very short supply these days, and I have discovered that in general many of us are not good when it comes to walking a difficult path with a friend, or someone God wants us to encourage. We can all learn from each other so that is why I am so delighted to be able to continue to share my thoughts and prayers with you. So long for now until we meet from Carol.
