Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.

If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.

Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.

SARAH'S SCRIBBLINGS

pastor's confusing response about healing

June called me today. She said she never meant to communicate that she thought I was doing "just fine". (So did she say that in a hurry, or what DID she mean?) She also said she didn't understand my thoughts on anointing. (Those are a bit hard for me to explain. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with them or not. I don't think so. It just kind of hit me one day.) She also said regarding my need for someone to stand in faith with me that everyone who is a Christian DOES. (Bang!) Am I not seeing something, or do some people avoid the subject because something like this is hard to believe in. I know I do that sometimes. (Often?)

All I want is a little peace right now--I don't care how it comes. I know God can change hearts, and I have asked Him before to take my desire away if it isn't His will. It's still here, and I don't understand what this is all about.

This is beginning to feel like punishment, and I don't know what I did. Where is the glory to God in my anger and bitterness, things that never existed two years ago? I don't know how to give that to Him, and I don't know how to ask Him to take it with any more sincerity than I have now. I am a little afraid that if I let go of my desire I might be letting go of something that is His will. On the other hand, maybe I am holding on to something that isn't.

All I know is that God is God and doesn't change, even when I don't understand.
