I am just now catching up on your blog. I ...Tracy,<br />I am just now catching up on your blog. I was so glad to see you talk about David at the end. I am doing a study on David so my mind was going to him as I read. He definitely cried out to God. The words "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" we normally think of as spoken by Jesus but they were first spoken by David (Ps. 22:1). Even David, the man after God's own heart, felt like God wasn't there at times. God knows your sweet heart and it is ok to cry out to Him. David also did a lot of praising. That is the hard part for me - to be able to still "praise Him in the storm". I will keep praying for little J and his joyous arrival home with you.<br />Judy McNeeseJudy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322373260214088305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594635286318949743.post-58824269954585929182012-04-23T16:06:44.550-04:002012-04-23T16:06:44.550-04:00I needed this reminder.

This is such an honest post!!! And you ar...Tracy!!! This is such an honest post!!! And you are right sometimes I believe I can't "talk to God like that...giving him my emotions, and laments, and complaints." Why wouldn't He want to hear that. Every morning He wakes me up, He is ready to hear my voice. I am so thankful to serve an INVOLVED God!!!!! Thank you for this has helped me this morning!!! <br /><br />God is open to hear us when we are open to trust Him!<br /><br />Thank you again sis!

Don't ever stop being real, not with us, God and certainly not with yourself. I will continue to pray for you and as you walk this journey of (right now) so much uncertainty. <br />Love you girl.

Ahhhh...Oh thank you so much for this message Tracy! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thank you-thank you- thank you! What I learned from this post is when we lament and cry out to God, we are not "less of a Christian", we are expressing one of our most beautiful gifts of being His children! Sometimes we beat ourselves up at the very thought of crying out and feeling sad about situations, but we shouldn't because then do we really know that God is still present!! <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing honest and openly and including us in your journey! <br /><br />Love, <br /><br />ShanitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594635286318949743.post-72031623659787383362012-04-23T08:16:24.583-04:002012-04-23T08:16:24.583-04:00It is so very hard when God allows this time darkn...It is so very hard when God allows this time darkness to cover us and cause us to cry out to Him. It is funny because I am just reading Ch. 9 also but not doing a study. I love your heart and honesty and this definition of lamenting and complaining is beautiful. <br /><br />Continuing to pray......Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114223431580415336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594635286318949743.post-62764203516490842832012-04-23T07:43:24.054-04:002012-04-23T07:43:24.054-04:00Love you.
