But just yesterday I told God, I don't care how hard it gets or how quiet You are, I'm in it for the long haul. Even if I go to my grave not understanding, or feeling like You are there, I KNOW You are in control and love me with an everlasting love and I'm going to trust that till the day I die. <br />So, thanks :)Amy Krupinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429356042856155835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-55275174259820936622009-09-09T10:18:54.922-06:002009-09-09T10:18:54.922-06:00Wow.

Thanks for sharing. That song is one of our favorites. In some places he sounds like Russ Taff, one of my all time favorite gospel singers.

I, too, love that song. I have another one of Need To Breathe's song's on my ipod but can't remember which one. Another great Christian group (my favorite) is Third Day. Also, great Praise and Worship, Chris Tomlin.<br /><br />Praying God's peace to us all and may we leave all that hinders us with Him as we follow Him this day.Mary Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153361742466960062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-69439640381523869452009-09-09T09:27:11.292-06:002009-09-09T09:27:11.292-06:00Wow, between you and Mary Jo I'm in puddles he...Wow, between you and Mary Jo I'm in puddles here...again, at work. Need to Breathe is my all-time favorite band, and that song is going to truly be one of those timeless "greats" don't you think? <br /><br />I'm convinced that stress/worries/doubts/fears, etc. come in waves and people seem to experience those things at the same time. I, too, have been feeling the pinch all those emotions can bring. I tend to be impulsive and act before thinking, but this time I've determined to wait this out and trust. Trust that the answers will come, that I don't have to go on a recon mission to find them.<br /><br />Mary Jo, I can't imagine the grief you are feeling. How trivial my issues seem next to those that you and your friend are going through. I pray you both find peace and I'll trust with you that the God of miracles will show himself in miraculous ways.<br /><br />Daiquiri, I pray that you, too, will find peace in this stressful time. If I've come to know anything about you, it's that you can take these obstacles and turn them into opportunities to teach your children...it's a beautiful gift. <br /><br />In the meantime, making God's will my will,<br /><br />~JessJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846566374248543551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-77388252806887360622009-09-09T00:36:08.839-06:002009-09-09T00:36:08.839-06:00Hi Daiquiri....Amazing. Talk about God answering ...Hi Daiquiri....Amazing. Talk about God answering prayer in the middle of the night. I, too, am going through a struggle right now. A friend is dying of peritoneal cancer (like ovarian cancer) and called me this afternoon to let me know she was stopping all treatment and was told she had approximately 2 weeks to live. My heart aches for her and her family. The suffering she is going through. She is 54 years old - a wife, mother, twin sister and grandma. She is suffering so and I find myself struggling this early a.m. (1:26 a.m.) and asking God "why?" <br />Normally, I don't question but I am tonight. I've been praying and asking Him to give me a sign of His presence - to show me He really is their and hears us. I believe this night He used you to show me Himself. <br />I have never turned my laptop on in the middle of the night and brought it downstairs to the spare bedroom. Never. I went to Facebook to read a comment you made to a comment I made to you. Starting reading stuff at your site and read about your blog. I decided to visit it and what do I see first thing but the verse about how our suffering produces perseverance etc. Then I read your blog and you quote 1Peter and the awesome verse about "casting our anxieties on Him" and then off to the right of the page is an "ad" about this blog helping to support ovarian cancer. HELLO MARY JO - LOL - you think the Lord is speaking to you.<br />I, too, am a Christian and love the Lord so much...Jesus is my best friend ....... rarely do I question Him and His motives in my life. As a matter of fact my life verse is "for we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and were called according to His purpose."Romans 8:28.....I know for a fact, that He does that. He did it in my life.....but this situation with my friend really is hard to grapple with. <br />I feel better tonight.....and I thank and Praise God for bringing me here tonight...to allowing me to be refreshed and encouraged by another one of His followers.<br />Keep doing what you're doing Daiquiri.....He's using you.<br />God's Peace I pray to you tonight also.<br />...your cousin Mary Jo Schubert CyrMary Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153361742466960062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-34213200777599436162009-09-08T22:30:09.891-06:002009-09-08T22:30:09.891-06:00Love that song!Love that song!Hilty Sproutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330801276065458534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-92144779126074538112009-09-08T21:47:13.422-06:002009-09-08T21:47:13.422-06:00Great post and great song!
