Thank you Jacqueline, I Feel much better. I was having a bad night and feeling despair about having these post Covid symptoms . It is rare for me to have such a weak moment. Although I don’t really see it as weakness. Sometimes it takes strength to share when we are in pain. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I have to say though after posting during that long night, I received so many personal posts suggesting what I should do to strengthen my relationship with God. It felt a little like some were questioning my faith and Christian knowledge. Christian’s can have a weak moment or two, as well. I am not directing this to you personally. I can tell from your kind words that you were not judging me. You know, I have to wonder though (regarding some of my mail) why we Christians do this to one another? We need to be careful what we insinuate to others. It can come across negatively and that’s the last thing we all need. I think Christians should be the last ones to question another’s faith. I’m afraid we run off many .I try to not question others beliefs or where their walk is with God or insinuate what they need to do. I leave that up to God. Hopefully this is a site where we all can share a sad or difficult moment or two, especially when we are dealing with the same physical symptoms. I’m afraid people might hesitate to share what they are going through if they get bombarded with opinions questioning personal beliefs and faith. People deserve respect. I now regret my post.
I truly know you are making suggestions according to what has helped you b/c you care.I know you are not insinuating I lack faith or peace in God. Otherwise I wouldn’t have even replied to your post, so again, I appreciate you 🙂How nice for you to have a friend to work through the Bible with. I took a Bible study called Discipleship and we used a wonderful Bible.—New International Version : Disciple’s Study Bible. I agree, King James can be hard to read, although I do use it,too and my husband prefers it. Thanks again. I’d enjoy staying in touch.

🤗 absolutely right, thank you for your kind words. I would never dare to judge anyone. I’m a believer that prayer and support makes a difference. Let’s pray for each other, where two or three are gathered together in my name, … behold, there will I be in the midst of them—even so am I in the midst of you”
Much love in the name of Christ. I’m here♥️
