This is Joy talking to herself, not preaching to any one of you.
Do you believe what God says about all things working together for good? Do you believe you can cast your cares on Him? Do you believe that you are hidden in the shadow of His wing? Do you believe that He has overcome the world? Do you believe in the divine plan He has for your life? Do you believe he will be faithful in bringing it to completion? Do you believe that the Kingdom of God is at hand? Do you believe that it’s here now? Do you know that you are completely loved? Fearfully made? Do you believe that you are forgiven? Do accept His Grace? Are you willing to lay down your heavy load? Can you trust your Heavenly Father?
Then just say THANK YOU for the beautiful mess around you and rest in what you KNOW.

All good questions and struggles. I think its good when we can say those kinds of questions out loud and really think about them and wrestle with God through them. Thanks for sharing Joy — we are all struggling with you.

I just love reading your entries. They are always so thoughtful, candid and honest. I can relate to some of your struggles and appreciate someone else being able to put things into words, as this is an area I struggle with. I guess it’s a good thing God knows your thoughts so no matter how you say it, he get what you are trying to say. Thanks Joy.
