Today's Spiritual Message... Let God and let God?

Tweet

This was the message I received today from "God Wants You To Know..." through Facebook. [i][/i]Today God wants you to know that God will get you through the pain. Everyone experiences pain sometimes, emotional and physical. Next time it threatens to overwhelm you, take a deep breath. As you breathe slowly, picture God holding you, crying with you, giving you the strength to get through.[i][/i] This is something I really needed to hear today. I wake up every morning in fear. And today I lay in bed and spoke to God for a bit expressing my fear for the future. Yes, we all fear what the future brings, especially now. But for the last couple of years my husband has said WE WILL be retiring to Prince Edward Island (3 provinces away from where we are now). I do not want to move. I don't want to leave this town I love. I don't want to leave this home we have made for 25 years. I don't want to leave my daughters and possible future grandchildren. To go where I am not comfortable. I feel I am constantly paying for the wrong choices I made over my life. They weren't big mistakes but they brought me here and made me the person I am. When I left my parents home at 24 to be with my then future first husband (now EX), I found myself moving 13 times over the 8 years we were together. Or maybe it is 13 times total. I don't want to move anymore. I grew up in one home, didn't move around. We were grounded and I wanted that for my children who have, for the most part, only grown up in one home. I don't want to move again and I don't want to move AWAY from my children, and I don't want to move so far away from where I am comfortable (or as comfortable as I can be with my health issues). As I lay in bed this morning (before I got this message on my computer) I told God I am trying to trust that He will make things okay. But who knows if His idea of okay is what I want? I also chatted my my Dad as well. He has been gone 15 years now and I still miss him. I'm getting off my rant now. If there is anywhere I can rant I know it is here. And I just hope that what I say touches someone else. That there are others who need to hear this message. Happy Easter.
