Being broken without being bitter.......... just have to keep trusting in God that His ways are perfect and that nothing will be put on us that can't handle. I've been broken... Soo broken.... You can be broken and not be bitter. I've held my lifeless child in my arms.... I never got bitter with God. I've lost things that were soo dear to me, and I held on to God and kept trusting in him... I think one of the hardest things ever to deal with was being wounded in the house of God... For me, I keep on going. I have to... But that is an area that every now and then will pop up and if I am not careful, flesh will try to take over and I could become bitter... It was just a few weeks ago that someone hurt us really bad... we'd done nothing but good to them... I went into my bathroom and just fell against the wall... I was so angry with men... I know you are supposed to pray for people when they hurt you, but I told God I didn't want to pray for them... I told God I didn't want Him to bless them. I was crushed.... and through my pain, with tears running down my face, I began to ask God to bless this person. I really prayed for them, and my flesh was not liking it... It was hard to do but the peace I began to find was exactly what I needed.... God's word is true, and He is always near....
just rambling...
