Lord, I'm trusting you. Give me your daily bread and sufficient peace for the night. So far you've always provided. I trust you will still always provide.
Good night.

What's this about?
I am Shannon and my husband is Chris. This is a place to share and process struggles related to miscarriages, eating disorders, and Shannon's struggle with sexual abuse. We have found that joy, exempt of Christ, is often bittersweet in this life. We look forward to heaven where sweetness will abound and bitterness will be gone.

feeling horrible
Why am I so sensitive?
I'm having one of those days where I suddenly feel like the entire world hates me and no one loves me. I realize that's not rational but it's how I am feeling.
I feel that I am just a major frustration to everyone in our families and all of our friends who have to deal with me.
I feel irritated and frustrated with myself.
I am sorry if I have been a burden or frustration to you.

A Conversation With God
Hey God....
Today my little sister shared that her and our friend Mak had been having an online conversation and they talked about how they were amazed that my faith is strong.
Well, I just want to tell you, Heavenly Father, that I am not amazed by my faith. It's a gift from you and the Holy Spirit. I know I didn't do anything to deserve it on my own. What I am amazed by is you. How perfectly you love me. How tenderly you care.
God, you truly are an awesome God. Sometimes I can't believe you put with me, and even more than that, that you love me in the rockiest of times. You are so good. You are so loving.
My hope is that people know that this faith that you have given to me is a gift...Out of love, you chose me, and I am eternally grateful. There is so much that I don't understand but one thing I know and trust is that you love me. Oh Lord, it doesn't always make sense, but I love you for it.......because I trust you. I know you know what you are doing.
You are so good. You are so great. Thank you for Jesus. Thank you for giving me life and for sustaining me. Thank you for caring for me and loving me.
I am so indebted to you.
When I think about you, everything else pales in comparison. The struggles seem so small when you are so big. I feel so weak but you are so strong. I am secure with you. You are so great and majestic that all that is wrong suddenly doesn't matter in your presence. How I love you, Lord.
Love,
Shannon
