I feel like crying, part 2

So, while I am crying, the one doctor comes up, Jim's taking more pain meds, we show him Jim's spleen area, where is very swollen, and he orders another CT scan for tomorrow. So, who even know when we'll be home.

Jim said, "please take me home, so I can die in peace."

He could probably use a call from his brother Tom about now. You out there, Tom? I could use a china closet and a sledge hammer.

Hi Gloria. You are not alone. I'm sure there are more people praying for you both than you can imagine. And on top of that, the Holy Spirit is interceding with groanings for you when you can't pray. I think he was giving you a break today when you mentioned that you couldn't pray.

I know that you are dumping all the feelings that are piling up inside you and I picture it like seam from a pressure cooker. It has to be released... you are entitled. I know what you mean about the twitching. Sam does that too when he's sleeping.

This road you are on has many twists and turns and it seems like you are on the bend of the road right now and can't see what's ahead. But, you have been there before... just a couple of weeks ago and sometimes when it seems like all is lost, just the opposite happens.

Hold on.

nothing makes sense and I can't even imagine how you are still standing at all. All I can promise is that I have been praying for you and Jim a lot and will keep doing so but I am sure you wonder sometimes what that is even doing, but we all really do care and I know that doesn't help but we will keep petitioning God for you guys.

Gloria, daughter of the King...our God is sufficient for your every need in Christ Jesus(wrap your arms around yourself tonight and fall asleep imagining yourself in His mighty arms). I echo Maddie and Nancy - hold on...hold on...and we are petitioning God and standing with you. Let us help - in any way when you get home. We can't stand in your place and assume your weariness and Jim's pain, but we all know the One who has experienced all of what we are all feeling. He is crying with you and us, and yet is your ROCK. Hang on to Jesus. I love you, Kimberly

I read this prayer today. It had "Dolly" written all over it. I wanted to share it with you. I love you.................

"Lord, How do I find rest? The moment I think, "Good-I've gotten my crying done for the day," somehting stimulates and exiting of fresh tears. The tiniest thought or memory can bring the biggest gush of crying. Oh, I can sing, "Let us find our rest in Thee," But it's so hard to find that rest. I have to sort through all my grief for the slightest molecule of rest. and just when I think I have my tears tidied up, they multiply. Jesus you were born to set your people free. Can you give me release from all this grief and sorrow? Lord, help me to find the rest you promise."
