I sat in a class at church about overcoming depression a few weeks ago. As I read the list of symptoms I leaned over to my husband and admitted that I "must be depressed." What I realized was the "spirit of heaviness" that I was carrying around went back nearly two years and had negatively affected every area of my life.<BR/><BR/>Oh that we would see these things as they come upon us and release them to God in that moment. I am praying for you and praising God for your transparent post about the daily struggle of working through the stuff of life.<BR/><BR/>BLessings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192231917797056935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195625730122318343.post-88917494328318706952009-03-17T09:31:00.000-07:002009-03-17T09:31:00.000-07:00Kathryn, Wonderful, honest words!

Not the whole hike...just the next step.<BR/><BR/>Once we get through that next step, <I>then</I> He shows us the once after.<BR/><BR/>Hold tight to His hand...but remember, even when we feel paralyzed with sorrow, fear, worry...God is not paralyzed. When our hand loosens...He just tightens His grip.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your Titus 2 woman's heart. Your words teach other women how to truly love their husbands and families regardless of the circumstances.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811756366902296711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195625730122318343.post-44788862950662594462009-03-17T08:49:00.000-07:002009-03-17T08:49:00.000-07:00Your post really meant alot to me because you have...Your post really meant alot to me because you have truly been there in surrendering the things you cannot control.

I think the blogging community is going to be a great way to encourage one another in our walk with the Lord.

But I have the choice to let go of the things I cannot control and trust our Lord with them. After all, He's so capable.
