Can you tell? I am having some struggles with "feelings" and "facts"! I won't go into a lot of detail but over the next few weeks, our family can use a lot of extra prayer! ALL OF US!! We have some issues that we are working on - no, not all "bad" stuff - just issues! The thing that I am working on remembering is that God knows what's going on and has all the answers! I just have to trust HIM and therein could lie the problem! The fact is that God has always proven Himself faithful and will continue to do so!!

Would be nice if it was always easy to have the right feelings. If feelings and facts always matched up, it seems that life would be easier. May the Lord help us all in thise area. Wish I could be there to hear the good preaching at camp!! :)
Ahhh! I'm constantly thinking about you - How could I not? I'm daily only a few feet away! Hang in there. Love ya!
Good for you for knowing/realizing which is which!
I think, as women, we deal with this so much more than the guys! And as I get older, I have to try to focus so much more on the FACTS, because I can't trust these feelings of "middle age!" They change so quickly! :) Oh the joys of womanhood...it's good to put some things down in writing so we can easily refer to it. Good post.
(Also feeling chunky...)
