hard times? just the worse year of my life.....

yet, activities such as CC have brightened up my days significantly!
 
I actually checked all but the first four, since depending on what I'm going through at the time one or more of them could apply.

I know what you mean Jullianna and Liamson. Sometimes we can have our little pity party that we need a good kick in the butt to bring us back to reality. I have them from time to time, but it's been a long time since I had one that I didn't come out of naturally within a few days to a week.
 
I just pray and get stuck into the Word. Just pray hard and long until I get an answer. Oh, and vent all the negativity. He won't take that part away if we keep hold of it.
 
I guess I was the only one that chose "Some flowery canned answer ".

Reassures me that the world is normal. If folks in the secular world suddenly changed and told me to rely upon God and my faith ... I would think something was really up.
