My husband died in April 2006 and I am quite alone except for God.

With me, it's all come down to staying in His word. How can I have a deep meaningful relationship with someone whom I don't take the time to learn about? It's a good thing that he is a faithful and long-suffering God, isn't it?

I don't think I've ever spent any time in that book before. It's GREAT! <br /><br />We usually do short books, we don't tackle whole huge ones a week...just so you don't get scared...ok, I'm done. :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538622879454699368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29948275.post-77536908119358446532007-02-07T04:01:00.000-08:002007-02-07T04:01:00.000-08:00Hi Alli,

And on this subject, we are VERY much alike. I'm struggling with the exact same thing you are. Control has always been my issue. I want it. And I don't want to give it to the Lord. But I have committed to a "U-turn" of sorts this year. I will try to surrender to Him so he can use me in His work. It's hard, very hard. <br /><br />One thing that is helping...book review friday. A friend of mine and fellow blogger picks one book of the Bible each week for us to read every day and then on Friday a few of us women blog a little report about what the Lord has taught us from His word. It's changed me wonderfully already and I've only been doing them for a few weeks. Head on over to her blog if you are interested www.watchthesky.typepad.com And if you aren't interested, sorry for taking up so much comment space. hope you don't mind a stranger butting in :)<br /><br />I'll say a prayer for you.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538622879454699368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29948275.post-71429931635564297802007-02-06T14:05:00.000-08:002007-02-06T14:05:00.000-08:00Surrendering is the hardest part of it all, at lea...Surrendering is the hardest part of it all, at least for me. I struggle with it daily. Every day I say today is the day I give it all up and every night I go to bed saying I'll try again tomorrow. Prayer is the first step for sure.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605426195521274662noreply@blogger.com
