All of the strong believers in our life have gone through long physical trials- and have not ceased to trust in God! I know it's miserable, but you're right that God does a work through this that changes your understanding of Him forever. So it's a hard, miserable, wonderful gift. It may seem like God is being really harsh with Paul, but He endured pain like this when He was here, and He's so sympathetic for our pain. Remember when He cried when Lazarus died? He loves you guys!!! We love you guys too!<BR/><BR/>-Jen RIppeeJennaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796627197317829800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396613940188230929.post-31699873895573057402008-04-21T21:28:00.000-07:002008-04-21T21:28:00.000-07:00Arlene,I'm Jean and Billy's mother.I read your blo...Arlene,<BR/><BR/>I'm Jean and Billy's mother.I read your blog and I must say you both have strong faith in God. Trials can make you closer to God and with your family by your side - strength comes. How else can we prove our Love for God except when trials come; only then that we become more closer to Him.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03207358787541593831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396613940188230929.post-22715458794635658162008-04-19T19:33:00.000-07:002008-04-19T19:33:00.000-07:00My sweet friend!
