I wonder if anyone is still out there reading this -- it's been so long since I last posted. Hellooooooo???
Isn't there some verse, probably in the Psalms, that talks about clouds and darkness surrounding the Lord? (I hate it when I can't find a verse.) Anyway -- this describes how my relationship with God has felt recently: as if he were very distant and shrouded. I miss the good old days when it was easy to know that God is Immanuel, God-with-us.
But the cool thing is that there is a verse in the Bible (I know there is!) that describes what I'm experiencing, in contrast to all of the many happy verses about God dispelling darkness and our walking in his light. The truth is that God is there in the darkness too even if hidden, like the sun hidden -- but not gone -- behind the clouds in this strangely wet Dallas summer. "I answered you out of a thundercloud" (Ps. 81:7).

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
I'm thankful that faith is also the conviction of things not felt.

Yes, we're still here! I've been checking in but missed the last couple of days. Glad you're back online. And I agree with Susan!
I'm still here too :)
I am also thankful that my feelings do not dictate what is real and true! He is great and I am very small. And that is good!

thanks for your comments! I too am thankful that faith is not the conviction of things felt.
