So I'm working on a new story, and I tried to post it up on here, but something about it wasn't getting recognized...which makes me sad. I'm wondering if it was the font or something. I'll keep trying.
Anyway...yesterday was a decent day. Not too bad, kinda long. I broke down pretty hard last night over some stuff...I'm realizing those are becoming much more regular now. Guess that's a good thing. It's the kind of breakdown you have when you can't even pray besides sobbing, because you have no words to speak, to anyone, let alone God. Aaron's been getting more hopeful, I'm still struggling with the idea of God's goodness in the midst of a decaying horrible evil world. And frankly, I don't know how to reconcile things I know and God. I don't know if I will ever see the goodness of the Lord or have it revealed to me, and I'm wondering if I would even recognize it for what it was, if He did. I'm...well...I'm not doing anything. I'm waiting on God, albeit sometimes angrily. The Bible says, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?"
I just don't know anymore...I guess I'm stubbornly holding on to something I can't see and am unsure of, but won't let go.

Hey, I've been blog hopping for a little and got onto yours. One of the labels said "Faith" so I was intrigued. I don't know where you're at with God but I suggest to just trust in the guy. O! and you need to read this book I'm in the middle of. I'm not trying to start a book club, I'm serious about this. This book has positively influenced so many of my friends who are women with their own struggles with God. It's "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge. I'd like to encourage you more but seeing as this is a small comment on something you posted, I hardly see how it's going to matter except by convincing you to read the suggested book.
For a second I thought you might be the James I know from school, but I don't think you are....
Anyway, I appreciate the comment and goodwishes. I've read Captivating several times over, as well as Wild At Heart. It helped me a lot in HS when dealing with my own insecurities and such.
Unfortunately, the struggles I was talking about during this post have nothing really to do with being a woman so much as having to deal with a lot of evil things having happened in my past and reconciling belief in God's goodness along with that. This is something that everyone I know struggles with. The whole problem of evil question, and such.
Thanks for the comment, and I wish you well :)
