(by the way, I'm going to put a plug here if I may, I'm not trying to get any brownie points or curry favor my way by putting this plug here either, I don't trust those kind of people myself and I don't expect you to either but our pastor has been preaching a series on brokeness and I just happen to know there are people struggling privately all over the world and 40% of my viewers are in Russia somewhere who view this blog and you know, I don't have all the answers but Jesus does and our pastor has been doing a series, "The Blessedness of Brokeness" that I believe could help anyone, who really wants it.
If you are really interested message me on my email at shantellbissette@ymail.com let me know you are a visitor from my blog and we can go from there. This series might answer a lot of your questions and give you more understanding about things you may be facing, and the Lord's loving hand in all of it...o.k..... I'm done.)

"Some persons are always ready to level those above them down to themselves, while they are never willing to level those below them up to their own position. But he that is under the influence of true humility will avoid both these extremes. On the one hand, he will be willing that all should rise just so far as their diligence and worth of character entitle them to; and on the other hand, he will be willing that his superiors should be known and acknowledged in their place, and have rendered to them all the honors that are their due."
-Jonathan Edwards- preached"Sinner's in the Hands of an Angry God"
"You don't have to immitate what you already are."
