HI BLAIN! Thanks so much for being brave enough to share ..... I didn't go through what you did but found dealing with being adopted and rejected twice by my real mother pretty tough, then a couple of years of trafficking in an extremely abusive cult left me feeling a mess and more crap in various churches in God's name, have pretty much left me sitting on the outside of churchianity and given up on marriage as the issues of intimacy and trust are just far too difficult to manage where I am at, at present. Still, I find peace sitting in the arms of God and God's grace carries me through, and like you, one day we will be home and He will wipe away ALL the tears from our eyes and we will all be happy together and home at last. And won't that be worth persevering for? So I keep on, keeping on because Abba Father is pure and holy and not like those who misrepresent Him, and He wants us home with Him where we belong. I saw a lovely film recently: The Red Fury (on Amazon Prime) and bawled my eyes out as God spoke to me so much through it. Anyway, I wanted to tell you about NICK VUJICIC, the travelling evangelist who was born without arms or legs - I came across him when I was having a hard time. Do look him up and check out his story - it will so encourage you how God uses the weak. I pray God will give you a Double Portion of His Spirit and a Double Portion of blessing, double for your trouble. Remember Job, bro!
