Thankful for your honest communication. ...Gretchen,<br />Thankful for your honest communication. You are not alone in your struggles. I am confident this is the reason the Bible speaks so much about envy is because WE ALL experience it. I love real people!Jill and Leeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133277018040480008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315918267720338482.post-52886845909665338192011-01-27T13:18:22.077-05:002011-01-27T13:18:22.077-05:00Thanks for sharing your story - at least the begin...Thanks for sharing your story - at least the beginning. I know that sometimes our own trials seem pale in comparison to others, but they are ours. And that alone can make them significant to us.

You do not know what their journey is about."<br />There is always someone with a "worse" story...but, we are all on a journey that God prepared for us before we were ever born.
