It is exactly how we feel as well, your husband said it perfectly....<br /><br />"I hear religious-minded people say all the time with good intentions, “God will never place a burden on you so heavy that you cannot carry it.”<br /><br /><br />Really?<br /><br />My experience is that God will place a burden on you so heavy that you cannot possibly carry it alone. He will break your back and your will. He will buckle your legs until you fall flat beneath the crushing weight of your load. All the while He will walk beside you waiting for you to come to the point where you must depend on Him. <br /><br /><br />So good, thanks for sharing him and his wisdom with us leslie!Laura Caddell https://www.blogger.com/profile/06307051115695828671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-40362002573676044562012-03-19T12:19:41.996-06:002012-03-19T12:19:41.996-06:00oh, i LOVE this. praise jesus.

AMEN. and oh the sweet fellowship for those that take those burdens to him. and he carries us. all the way, making our burden light.<br /><br />praying for y'all and your new hugely exciting adventure!

When I ...Your husband truly has a big heart Leslie. When I was in middle school, the height of cliques and teasing, I helped out in the special needs classroom. Isn't wasn't really a choice, but a condition of the teacher I was a TA for. At first, I was embarrassed by it. I wouldn't want my friends to see me, even though they all knew what I did. But as I grew to know the kids, and know more about them my heart changed. I learned those kids were just kids, but special - to me and in God's eyes. By the end of the year I loved those kids. Funny how God changes our hearts. <br /><br />I'm excited to hear what you and your hubby have in store. Best of luck and many prayers your way.<br /><br /><3, EmilyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366747219989234039noreply@blogger.com
