Unapologetically Apostolic

Hey there Job, got anymore of that sackcloth your wearing and could you move over a bit to let me sit in those ashes with you? Oh, I know you're going through a rough time. You've  lost your kids, your livestock, your wife is nagging at you to just curse God and die. I get it. I understand.  I'm about to be 48 years old and every child I have been blessed to carry has been taken from me before I could ever hold them in my arms. I feel as if I'm  about to lose it all because of my husband. While he hasn't said the words to curse God and die, I'm almost sure he would if he thought enough to. While you have your wife to nag and bemoan you, I have a husband that is indifferent but needy. You are a righteous man, Job. Well spoken of and respected among your peers.

That day, He made the declaration to tarry together for t...

"Are you standing at a crossroad wondering which road you should take? And you′re dreading the decision and a possible mistake But the will of God won't lead you where the grace of God can′t keep you You will never be out of His care. Remember that the lord's already there Wherever you are, wherever you're going God is right there beside you seeing and knowing Wherever you go, He already knows what lies ahead and what′s behind You′ll always find He's never too far from wherever you are You are waiting to hear thunder and see lightening in the sky Oh, but God can work His wonders through a still small voice inside Just keep listening and learning and continue on your journey Following the one who is the way Oh, He′s the only road you need to take" I have known the words to this song since I was a teenager, so that is a long time.  I did forget them though.  For weeks I had sat and cried out to God, begging for a way, for an answer that I felt would never come. ...
