I felt like I was going to cry when I read your comment.<br /><br />I feel anything but godly and, I must say, there has been plenty of mind-numbing social media and TV in the mix, too.<br /><br />I'm glad you have been encouraged yet again by Trusting God. A friend of mine reminded me when I came home from hospital that it's all about God holding onto us - don't wrestle, but nestle. Her words have greatly encouraged me during this time, when each day still feels like a hard slog.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words. xxxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193896306650823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-64342517177163984732016-02-26T14:24:24.934+08:002016-02-26T14:24:24.934+08:00Dear Sarah,

Over the last week or so I have been rereading Trusting God and yesterday enjoyed a few chapters travelling into and out of the city on the train.<br /><br />You are a brave, courageous, godly woman. When you were so low you could have quite easily lost yourself in social media, bad novels and television and so on. But no, what did you do? You did the brave, tough, great thing and read "Trusting God."<br /><br />I first read this book in 2013 and then again in 2014. I said then that I was going to read it annually and yet somehow it passed me by in 2015 - a year when I should have read it! But I am reading it again, partly because one of my Bible study groups is tackling Job so I thought it would be good to get on top of it, but also because these are good words for me to hear again. This year is a bit of a rebooting year for me. And what a good way to reboot.<br /><br />So I have read eight of the fourteen chapters and am encouraged, refreshed, rebuked and discipled all over again and loving it. And more so because I keep thinking of you who chose to read this extraordinarily helpful and pastoral book at such a difficult time. Good on you Sarah. What an inspiration. <br /><br />I pray that you continuing to move forward, finding strength for the day and trusting God, even when life hurts.<br /><br />Love Meredith xx<br />Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797493488173742152noreply@blogger.com
