Comments on: When God is Late http://drjeffadams.com/2010/03/11/when-god-is-late/ Hi! This is my chance to chat with you about anything that pops into my mind. That means it is usually unedited and unpolished, just like conversations with friends ought to be. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's talk! Wed, 23 May 2012 04:35:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: T.A. Shields http://drjeffadams.com/2010/03/11/when-god-is-late/#comment-2426 T.A. Shields Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:04:59 +0000 http://drjeffadams.com/?p=2342#comment-2426 I've been going through the desert in my life recently, but when I saw the video of Zak's situation it put things into a deeper perspective. His confession of faith is truely touching. I have a friend who is a young man that recently lost his mother, and was attentive to my ministering towards him in a conversation we had not too long ago. I was trying to find some scripture that might help and felt compelled to show him Romans chapter 9. I was somewhat uncertain if it was what would be best for him to recieve, but it seemed to speak to him. The Lord knows each of us better than we do ourselves. God is personal.

Much suffering all around.. For me, when God is late, He is usually waiting for my surrender. (not my suffering commitment) Just can’t get it out of my head. Much suffering all around..

In the past 7 days it has come to my knowledge they are having troubles. I am convicted I was not keenly aware of their problems. These kids did their duty for our nation and saw some horrific things we wouldn't or don't understand. I and we owe them not to drop the ball and support them where we can and where they can. I thank God for my 1SG whose been on top of this. Please pray for my hope, which is, they be the primary initiator or someone initiates a good and godly help they need.

I will share Zak's story with my co-worker. Her neighbor is married with two young children. She is 44 and was recently diagnosed with cancer in her lungs and it's spread to her brain. We have been praying for her. Zak's story is very comforting when you don't have all of the questions answered. Also, Thank you for teaching us through what Christ is teaching you on how to love people as Christ did. It's very humbling to see how myself and our church is growing in loving others through community. Linda Hi Jeff. I will share Zak’s story with my co-worker.

I realize your series of posts have focused on a specific aspect of hurting situations. However, I would like to mention a post written by a Presbyterian minister who is dealing with cancer, with the hopes that some of your readers might look at it. It's a wonderfully loving message about his wife, but more importantly about Christian love. The easiest way to send the link in this format is for them to go to my page, then link from there: http://tinalewisrowe.com/2010/03/04/courage-and-love/ Hello Jeff!
