Pausing With God

The other day out of the blue I found myself humming, I Wanna Run To You by Whitney Houston.   I goggled the title of the song to see if I could find a reason why this popped in my head.  It was a song from the movie, The Bodyguard.  I pulled up and read the lyrics which seemed to represent what many of us women have felt at one time or another.  Most of us have ran and some still running to people, places and things.  We have been scared, hurt, felt all alone and just want someone to take the time to get to know the real us.   In between the deep breaths, we make it look like we have everything under control, but on the inside we are falling apart. We all have a little girl inside who is longing for love and want to be kept safe from harm.                      My countenance changed as I looked over to the right.  I selected the video, I Look To You.  After we have been through, when we have given our all; and there is no fight left in us.  It is then, we usually stop running

an Article from my friend Anita C. Harris  Throughout our life, we are thrown in many different cycles.   We all would agree that life would be a lot easier if we could look ahead to see what was coming next, unfortunately; (or perhaps fortunately) we cannot.   The question either way is - how will we cope with changes?    Change may include: -The loss of a loved one -Unemployment -Foreclosure -Infidelity -Divorce -A wayward child -Illness -The woe of menopause -A transition to, or from...you name it. Twelve years ago, life hit me between the eyes.   I was diagnosed with Lupus (SLE) and Fibromyalgia.    Shortly after prednisone related diabetes materialized and I had to endure crossover treatment for my kidneys and lungs. As if that wasn't enough, menopause!    All of this and I was only 37 years old, with three little girls and a husband to care for; on top of that I just started a new job.   I did not understand God's reasoning, not to mention His timing.
