The comment from Noelia was so heart warming. I've never lost someone that close to me. Thanks for sharing the book and the trailer from YouTube. Makes one really understand that we are not God and He knows what He is doing and we need to trust.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-67816778434506226762009-08-28T15:15:15.104-07:002009-08-28T15:15:15.104-07:00Noelia,
I don't know when I've ever been ...Noelia,<br /><br />I don't know when I've ever been so honored by someone's comment. Thank you so much for writing that up! (And you did very, very well too, I might add!)<br /><br />I got your point about living life. ANd that is important too. Very much so. I guess what I have lived so far is - life. Death had not previously touched it. It seemed so far off. I like the rose colored glasses approach in saying that everything can and will turn out well. It's easy to praise God for His goodness when everything is going as *I* liked it or I thought *I* had planned it. However, it's a process to learn how to say, "God is SO good" even when things are falling apart. That is the intent of this particular post.<br /><br />It is to say that in all times, and in all circumstances we CAN be at rest, knowing that God is good. I think you are saying the same thing with the very healthy reminder that there is still life to live.<br /><br />Thank you for your input!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-81553321942150331912009-08-28T14:28:36.745-07:002009-08-28T14:28:36.745-07:00About "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled" (...About "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled" (first of all. I'm sorry if my english is not clear enough, I'm from Argentina, and I don't speak your language very well, but I will try)<br />Dear Carrie I want you to know that I lost someone very special to me, well the most special person in my life: my mom. She died because cancer: tipycal, isn't it? I really hate this disease. Everything that you mentinoned about it, every little feelling happen to me too. I`m studieng to be a Spanish teacher, and I know that she wont be there when I finish it (the studies). She wont be when I get married either, she wont meet my kids, her grandchildren, and they wont meet her either, and it is very sad, because she was an amazing person, not only because she was my mom, because she really was amazing. This happen three years ago, and if I don't think about it, that moment, I'm happy. Life is a good thing, despite of everything.<br />Did you read Anne of Green Gables, or/and Anne of Avonlea: Anne, the protagonist speaks about her lost, and it is exactly what I feel. Maybe you will like it too.<br />And, Carrie, I will told you something I heard some days or weeks ago: Death is inevitable, yes, but Life is inevitable too; we never think about this matter. We didn't decide to born, but after all we are here, living. So, enjoy it, instead of think about death.<br />And, I don't undertsand God either, but I try every time I start to think about all this. But despite of my trieng, I'm still afraid of death, but I promise I will still trieng harder.<br />Thanks for share this with us, really.<br />Take care, Carrie ♥<br /><br />http://anne--shirley.blogspot.com/Noeliahttp://anne--shirley.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-82438956314426548712009-08-28T10:59:51.809-07:002009-08-28T10:59:51.809-07:00Thank you for the review, Carrie, I'm going to...Thank you for the review, Carrie, I'm going to buy this book!Christa Blakeyhttp://www.blakeyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-2958294546119202622009-08-28T08:23:45.828-07:002009-08-28T08:23:45.828-07:00I've read one of Lloyd-Jones' books before...I've read one of Lloyd-Jones' books before and part of another one.
