Psalms 16. 5-8

Today was a very rough day. As it concerns the issue of money I don't want to get into it really. I was actually going to blog earlier this evening, and already I had a title in mind... "A rare bit of pessimism". Well, I've had my share of tears this afternoon/evening, and I'd rather be done with that. I'm glad I waited to write.

Instead I'll write about what just happened to me. I wrote in my journal all about today and what happened, all the stressors I'm currently experiencing. For a while there, I was truly doubting my getting through this. I was about to call an old friend, one who would understand exactly what I'm going through right now, but right then Sam called. Just hearing his voice made me feel better. Later, when I got all worked up again, my sister and Sam calmed me down, and reassured me that one way or the other, everything will be okay. Well as I was writing in my journal, I flipped open to an earlier entry, and so it reads:

"April 16, 2007

'You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands. How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are! I praise the Lord, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me.
I am always aware of the presence of the Lord; he is near, and nothing can shake me.'

Psalms 16.5-8"

Amen to that is all I can say.

Hello Bella,
My name is Eric Hoffman and I run a small ministry out here in Utah, The heart of Mormonism.
I noticed a comment you left on a blog called "Mormon Truth."
I was looking over your comment there and saw that you were interested in learning more about what the Mormon theological system teaches.
I would be more than happy to help you in any way I can.

The person who's blog you posted on is a former friend of mine who has parted away from me due to my world view which stems from a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Thanks for your time!
grace and peace to you...
-Eric Hoffman
