Yes I do relate, dear friend. It's exact...Amen! Yes I do relate, dear friend. It's exactly how it works for me. And it is these times in my life that I draw closest to God, like you. But oh, would it be wonderful to skip them sometimes, or be done with them already! Wishing you all the best, sweetie. Take care. And good luck with de-cluttering, one very wise path to walk, I'd say! I have done some de-cluttering too, and oh the peace of mind it gave! Now, before I leave, I'm not heading anywhere before saying something about the washboard which you so beautifully pimped. Such a sweet image of that little girl! The board being very beautiful on it's own, but your embellishments made it even more beautiful! Sending you many big hugs and sunny smiles, xxAppleApricot Wenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948921746710818301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160145519685722.post-84754947577969496232016-08-20T16:27:15.179-08:002016-08-20T16:27:15.179-08:00What a lovely post, Karen.

HUGS.. by reading your previous post, I know now that you have colitis. I don't know much about but it sounds terrible. I hope you're feeling so much better now. I do understand what you wrote about the new growth and the hope. Sometimes it's so small but with Him there is always so much hope. I'm glad that you're staying close to God. He's so good to guide, comfort, heal and just love us through these times. As one who as experienced a great deal of loss in my life, I can say that it's through these times that He has cultivated such a heart of gratitude and a desire to celebrate all of life. Finding joy and beauty in the smallest of things and realizing that most things are only for a season. I hope and pray that as you continue on your healing journey...both emotionally and physically that you find His grace to be abundant... His love ever-strengthening and joy in the midst of it all.<br /><br />Thank you so much for being transparent and sharing your heart. You're such a blessing and your sweet spirit just brings a smile to my heart. <br /><br />Blessings and hugs to you, Dear Friend..Have a lovely weekend.<br />Tamara xoTamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944830859647370706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160145519685722.post-43287669427768702692016-08-18T21:58:55.056-08:002016-08-18T21:58:55.056-08:00Dear Karen, I love your little washboard .. how go...Dear Karen, I love your little washboard .. how gorgeous!!! That paper is bright and cheerful and I love the quote .. can just imagine that hanging in your home somewhere! <br />I can certainly relate to your 'thoughts'. We do grow through adversity and we do become stronger through pain and struggle. We wouldn't appreciate sunshine half as much if it wasn't for the rain and, how could we know we are happy if we didn't also feel sadness. Sounds trite I know, but it is true and, if we put our trust in God, He will help us through whatever we have to face. <br />I hope you are feeling much better now and that you are getting on top of your illness.
