I'm just gonna blurt it all out.... had to get this out today!

2½ years ago I hurt my back really bad. A disk in my lower back was badly sqeezed.... I couldn't work, play sports, sit at my desk and use my comp, meet my friends.... At it's worse, I couldn't even MOVE. I was trapped in my apt, except for doctors apointments. But the treatment didn't work at all........ and add to that an old hearing disorder, I got tinnitus at a concert 4 years ago, and with all this going on it got so much worse... It was like having a broken radio in my head 24/7 and if you can imagine what that is like, you can also understand that it can take away your will to live.... I ended up with a sever depression frown

But God wasn't done.... One day at work, I surfed the net and I ended up at ticketmaster looking for BSBs tour dates. Turned out they were doing 3 shows in Detroit and optimistic as I am, I thought I deserved to go wink and as admin, I had to read all of them... Yes it was nice that I could at least do something but I felt all drained, confused, helpless.....

But then one of those premonitions again....

I sometimes read ubbdev.com since we use a UBB board on our site, and especially now it was so nice to read something else than all the reports about the tragedy. Then I read a post by someone called AllenAyres wink

And now I am listening online to the UWS concert.... BSB sang the national anthem! And I am posting this here......

God's ways might seem mysterious, but when He shows you the bigger picture.... it is soooooo AMAZING, GLORIOUS, someone give me a dictionary LOL and I get all warm, fuzzy, GREATFUL and my faith is stronger than ever. Thanks just doesnt seem enough, does it.........

God is SO good isn't HE??!!!

I have stopped trying to "figure out the ride" when God is moving in my life. I wait until the end, then look back. It is easier to see His plan then. <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />


God bless you!!

Aleina, that was a wonderful testimony. I totally understand and can sympathize with your previous physical conditions. I had a problem with my sciatic nerve and was out of work for 3 months while I was pregnant with my son. My mom currently suffers with tinnitis and she has an awful time coping. Constant ringing and hissing and drives her mad.

I am so happy for you and isn't the Lord just so Faithful? laugh I have made a promise to myself tho that I am going to cut out my posting during the day...I have soo much work to do and I fear I will get buried if I keep up this pace... eek

embie, MFC = Mature Fan Club and the site is at maturefanclub.com Let me know if you plan to go to the UK! It's close laugh


Steve, it did drive me NUTS that I couldnt understand what he was trying to tell me - I learnt A LOT during that process, but only now I can begin to see how all those moments and "coincidents" fit into the big picture!
