God is with you to teach you. Don't miss the opportunity. He loves you and will see you through. Your times ARE in His hand. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Hang in there. I believe there is something good about ready to happen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18131648.post-45334439081501122872007-03-10T11:12:00.000-07:002007-03-10T11:12:00.000-07:00We are praying for you, Stephen. Don't "let" them...We are praying for you, Stephen. Don't "let" them look down on you because of your youth. That word "let" gives you some control over it. Don't even let your thoughts and feelings go there. Don't allow them to look down on you. <BR/><BR/> WAIT<BR/><BR/>Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried.<BR/>Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.<BR/>I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate.<BR/>And the Master so gently said, “Child, you must wait.”<BR/><BR/>“Wait? You want me to wait?!” my indignant reply.<BR/>“Lord, I need answers. I need to know why!<BR/>Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?<BR/>By faith, I have asked, and am claiming Your Word.<BR/><BR/>My future and all to which I can relate<BR/>Hangs in the balance, and yet YOU tell me to WAIT?!<BR/>I’m needing a ‘yes’, a go-ahead sign,<BR/>Or even a ‘no’ to which I can resign.<BR/><BR/>And Lord, You promised that if we believe<BR/>We need to but ask and we shall receive.<BR/>And Lord, I’ve been asking and this is my cry:<BR/>‘I’m weary of asking! I NEED a reply’.”<BR/><BR/>Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate<BR/>As my Master replied once, again, “You must wait.”<BR/>So, I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut<BR/>And grumbled to God, “OK so, I’m waiting . . . but for WHAT??!!”<BR/><BR/>He seemed then, to kneel, and His eyes wept with mine,<BR/>And He tenderly said, “I could give you a sign,<BR/>I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.<BR/>I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.<BR/><BR/>All you seek, I could give and pleased you would be.<BR/>You would have what you want. . . But, you wouldn’t know Me.<BR/><BR/>You’d not know the depth of My love for each saint.<BR/>You’d not know the power that I give to the faint.<BR/>You’d not learn to see through the clouds of despair.<BR/>You’d not learn to trust just my knowing I’m there.<BR/><BR/>You’d not know the joy of resting in Me<BR/>When darkness and silence were all you could see.<BR/>You’d never experience the fullness of love<BR/>As the peace of My Spirit descends like a dove;<BR/>You’d know that I give and I save . . . (for a start),<BR/>But you’d not know the depth of the best of My heart.<BR/><BR/>The glow of My comfort late into the night,<BR/>The faith that I give when you walk without sight,<BR/>The depth that’s beyond getting just what you asked <BR/>Of an infinite God, who makes what you have LAST.<BR/><BR/>You’d never know, should your pain quickly flee,<BR/>What it means that ‘My grace is sufficient for Thee.’<BR/>Yes, your dreams for your loved one overnight would come true,<BR/>But, oh, the loss! If I lost what I’m doing in you!<BR/><BR/>So, be silent, My child, and in time you will see<BR/>That the greatest of gifts is to get to know Me.<BR/>And though oft’ may My answers seem terribly late,<BR/>My most precious answer of all is still, ‘WAIT’ “ROSALIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445598022762969183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18131648.post-52228725138113235332007-03-10T10:15:00.000-07:002007-03-10T10:15:00.000-07:00hdwegeccc i luv you uncle stephen :)_ ccccccccc...hdwegeccc i luv you uncle stephen :)_ cccccccccccgvry vgffffffffffffffff vAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18131648.post-6672731807688232552007-03-10T10:14:00.000-07:002007-03-10T10:14:00.000-07:00We are praying for you Stephen.
