it cant all be just coincidence...so much happening at once right now in my life, all in the same week

for 18 months ive tried to get my house exterior painted; then my mother dies after cancer diagnosis 8 weeks ago; and my car has flat tire in a storm, clothes washer also needs repair. actually last year while she was active and appeared healthy i was in a dark place grieving. then in january the darkness went away. i actually mourned her loss in advance while rest of family is now on a emotional roller coaster...what a lousy birthday today is. the day is nearly over and i just remembered

The lord is testing your faith

@Mistakesmakeus I wish you had not said that because the Lord doesn't test our strength by taking people from us. Come on. And he doesn't try to make things harder for us. But He is there, to help in times of trouble and give us strength.

@LadyGrace remember job from the bible? God let satan take everything away from him as in satan asked and god said yes. Essentially god allowed job to have everything stripped from him in a bet of all things

@Mistakesmakeus yeah but there is probably more to that then we understand and God did give him back everything 100 fold. That's just not the thing to say to someone who has lost a loved one

@LadyGrace and what if job lost faith? In which case he wouldnt have gotten anything

LadyGrace · 80-89

@Mistakesmakeus yes he would, but let's just drop this because that's a pretty deep spiritual thing and I don't know all the details and I'm sure you don't either.

@LadyGrace but i do know the details

LadyGrace · 80-89

@Mistakesmakeus Sure you do.
