Your needed, by those animals. I loved reading about how many you have. Thanks for caring for them. The night before my Mom died she suddenly got very concerned about the dog and was he going to be cared for, was he ok. Weird. We didn't know it was her time to go the next morning. I assured her he was fine. I brought him in to day good night to her. God is probably trying to talk to you, but darn aren't we humans hard of hearing when it comes to him.

Thanks for the encouraging words, I know its the animals that have kept me going this past 2 yrs. otherwise I dont think I would bother to get up in the morning. I know spring is coming, and field work which brings me joy. I've been riding horse a lot this past 2 wks. Always a good time for me. I am really trying to listen to God, been faithful in my time with him, and my devotions, and reading the word, memorizing scripture. But I have to admit that sometimes He seems silent. And I am at lose as what I should do.
Blessings
@kathy4385 I also find that when I am really depressed or my pain level is increased, I seem to have trouble connecting with God. I know it is me, because he has not gone anywhere and when I find my way back, there He is. It would seem that we would draw nearer to our source of safety and security, but, at least for me, the opposite happens at times. The best I can make of it is that I am more medicated during those times and I have more trouble concentrating enough to feel comfortable in His presence. Don't know if that makes any sense or not?
I think it makes perfect sense, and I can relate when I'm in emotional or physical pain. I'm not a clergyperson but I do believe the Higher Power doesn't desert us. But don't want to bring in personal spiritual views here too much. There is an expression that the Higher Power is in the silence. May we all feel completely well and soon. (whatever our personal beliefs). : )
stressedmesseddepressed,
You have to do it my way!
Wow, stressedmesseddepressed is a bucket full. I'll have to go look for your post's, that's a lot of stuff.
Of course it makes sense, Just remember that God will meet you where you are. Thru all this, I have learned that even thou everyone has abandoned me, God hasn't, in fact my relationship with him has gotten closer.

stressedmesseddepressed,
That was an interesting post for me because I came across this, "and after the fire a still small voice." Maybe the fire is trouble then a whisper. I'll clean my ears. Thanks.

kdawn32 "but darn aren't we humans hard of hearing when it comes to him." Yes we are! Don't like it but...we can grow.
I really heard Him when I got this about four months ago. I was going to loose "my joy!". I thought it was toys but I don't have any and then Mary left. Other part of it was "70" which puzzles me. That happened about four months before she left. I'm not crazy, I'm just nuts. Hah!
