My anxiety was building. My counseling session only seemed to make it worse. I got home and my husband didn't know what to do with me. I feel like i have to deal with this "injury" to my spirit on my own too; no one to help me.<BR/>it left me in a panic. Joy, over at "ponderings" blog talked about waiting today. And my counselor gave me a book on waiting as well. I am doing better now, but I can see how the enemy wants to pull me from God, and God wants me to rely on Him, and I have to choose sides, and figure out which side I am going to help.<BR/>The pain is still there, it was terrible this afternoon (got worse and worse through counseling and even worse once i got home)... God gave me a bit of peace tonight and a sense of His presence with me.<BR/>I guess yet again, i have to wait adn hang on... even through the pain adn despair and depression that threatens to overwhelm.<BR/>Thank you for these thoughts.<BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-321763172328664273.post-15332221671842981882008-04-29T21:32:00.000-05:002008-04-29T21:32:00.000-05:00Great post, Amy.

I think you hit the nail on the head though. When we stop asking "Why" is when we find peace. <BR/><BR/>So, what parts of your body have you not broken?
