Everyday I go to CNN.com to find out what's happening around the world. Unfortunately, if it's not something sad, it's something tragic, disturbing or disgusting even. This is why I started this blog. This blog is all about feel good stories. sappy, yeah but we can all use one every now and then. Things that can lift us high above the clouds. :) ss_blog_claim=fb3c65eb182fdd37ae437a694d2ea7d5

Testing Faith ...

June 4th 2008 23:51
Haven't been here for a while. For the past weeks, my faith is being tested.

I'm having troubles in my life at the moment. Troubles I never thought would happen to me. Then again, that's how our faith is being tested -- when the unexpected happens.

I don't know how to keep going with all that's happening.

Obviously things such as blogging has already been taken for granted for those weeks. I haven't eaten well those few weeks. I haven't been able to accomplish much at work, those few weeks. My son has been trying his best to be the sweetest to me, yet I don't seem to respond well.


I kept telling myself how much of a "good girl" I've been because I firmly believe in the greatest commandment "Do not do unto others what you do not want them to do to you..."

I Fear and I have Faith. Again, I'm not religious in any way but I do believe in something far greater than me. Far greater than what any human being or technology or positive thinking is capable of.

I believe that at this moment in my life, that faith is being tested. That "believing in something greater than me" is being tested.

I'm trying my best to hold on, keep the faith. No matter how painful things are at the moment.

Faith is testing me and I intend to pass with flying colors...

thanks so much Ruby.

I was trying to avoid blogging for I was too low, depressed the past month.

I didn't realize it actually could help me... like the simple encouragements you guys give ... helps a lot.

I was just telling someone how sometimes talking to a "stranger" and listening to one feels more wonderful than talking to your bestfriend.

Sheesh, how can I ever stop blogging?

thanks again orblers
