I appreciate what you said, and I hadn't really thought about the fact that you are right, God is able to handle anything we have to say to Him and the Psalms are FULL of examples of complaints and questions; I have no problem with expressing our true feelings to God. I do that myself. He knows my heart and I'm sure nothing shocks Him. However, it is when we stop trusting Him to help us get through the tough times that has me troubled. <br />You mentioned that your response to the post is too long for comments, so maybe we could chat about it one day in person. :)Kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475879852203788006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278234574421715715.post-13410780902835724552011-03-11T12:09:29.535-07:002011-03-11T12:09:29.535-07:00I read one private blog.

My blog not only is public but I post pictures of my kids complete with their names in the articles. I do not post pictures of friends kids without their permission. Everyone has a different comfort level and that needs to be respected. I read the article you mentioned before you took it down. It has me thinking. Thinking is good. It has me thinking about those with whom I have contact that are having a hard time. Is there something God would have me do as His hands and feet that I am neglecting. It has me thinking about whether there is a right way to talk to God. I think he is big enough to handle our complaints. I also know from the story of the Isrealites in Exodus that he doesn't like complaining. My full response to that article is too long for comments. Your voice came through in the article as concerned for your friends not as malicious, maybe because I know you enough to know that this came from a place of concern and not a place of gossip. A place of frustration at the attitudes that you see as holding them back. <br /><br />May I suggest instead of a private blog a digital journal that you can work out the articles before you post them. That way you can vent when needed and have the therapy it provides and your voice can continue to be part of the conversation that leads us to deeper thought (even for those you have not met).lorighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079649451877996088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278234574421715715.post-32540133747670895582011-03-11T07:24:03.897-07:002011-03-11T07:24:03.897-07:00Mistake in my comment: It should read "I onl...Mistake in my comment: It should read "I only know".

I have developed on-line friendships with many other bloggers and I think that's great. The people I was referring to are those who I may consider to be lurkers and I just get a bit concerned about that. If you look at my "Followers" at the bottom of the page, I have only "know" a few of them and the rest are people who have obviously found me in cyberspace in some way, shape or form. However, they've been following for a while but to my knowledge, have never commented.<br />I LOVE having you read my blog. We've developed a "Bloggy friendship" and I think that's cool. I welcome those sorts of friends. There are about 5 people (from the U.S.) that I have connected with due to my blog and I think that's so cool. I've received only one phone call from them as a result, which was pretty neat. Please, KEEP reading. I love having you visit:)Kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475879852203788006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278234574421715715.post-4947909848389501142011-03-11T07:15:30.929-07:002011-03-11T07:15:30.929-07:00Well, I guess you could count me as one of the peo...Well, I guess you could count me as one of the people who doesn't really "know" you, but reads your blog despite living thousands of miles away. As a result, I can say that I honestly don't try to figure out who you are talking about and just take your words as you intend them to be...examples or lessons. In fact, there have been a number of times where I just feel like saying, "Hey, phone me," thinking that perhaps if you could talk to someone who isn't close to the situation it might help you think things out. (Of course then I scrap that idea for obvious reasons, given the fact that you have no idea who I am.)<br /><br />Anyway, know that I read and enjoy your blog...especially the parts where you try to work things out or give me things to think about, even if I don't always get a chance to respond the way I should.<br /><br />Michellemichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949946724599509890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278234574421715715.post-22746370770834438872011-03-10T16:09:01.329-07:002011-03-10T16:09:01.329-07:00As you know, I tend to be a private person. And I ...As you know, I tend to be a private person. And I am paranoid. Hah! I admitted it! Anyway, while my blog is only searchable if you actually know the address, I know people have visited via someone else's blog. So I guess it isn't completely private. And people can just click on "Rain" and find me. Thus, I am aware that strangers are reading my stuff, thus I protect my family's identity. <br /><br />As for removing that previous post, I commend you for that. While venting is therapeutic, it is great that you are thinking about your readers and how what you write could end up being used for bad instead of good.<br /><br />As for what you wrote in the post, you brought up good stuff to ponder. I hadn't commented becauase I was trying to figure out if there were any examples of people giving an ultimatum to God in the Bible and being "rewarded" for it. Can you?~Rain```https://www.blogger.com/profile/03651417617385562994noreply@blogger.com
