Most of us don’t spend our days plotting out plans that will take us backward. We may daydream about the past or romanticize the good old days, but we don’t actually want to go backward—do we?
Not too long ago I caught myself admitting, with sincerity in my words and sorrow in my tone, ”I just want to go back. And I don’t even care which season. I just really don’t want to be in this one.”
A couple of days later, my small group was studying these same stories from today’s Scripture reading. I wanted to go back, just like the Israelites. Despite having evidence of the Lord all around me, present pain took over my view of the past. And as I sat in my kitchen and Israel sat in the wilderness, we both found ourselves talking about how much we craved where we once had been.
I haven’t quite figured out the perfect formula for how to talk about disappointment, fear, or sorrow. Trust me, I’ve tried. Maybe you, like me, hoped that after reading the different narratives in today’s reading that I would be able to answer some questions for you: Why do God’s responses seem different in each story? Weren’t they all complaining, even Moses? And why does the Exodus narrative feel so different from Numbers?
And then I start trying to figure out the formula in my head. Surely one of these stories must be the right way to do it? Maybe if I can figure out how to complain more like Moses, then it’s okay for me to do it too? Or maybe if I complain like Israel did in Exodus instead of Numbers, I can make sure that the Lord will respond with provision instead of punishment.
I’ll admit, today’s reading is equally convicting and confusing.
I appreciate the character of God in these passages—no matter how much I may think it, He’s not trying to make obeying His Word complicated, confusing, or tricky. And I actually don’t think that we’re supposed to try and figure out the perfect formula. So what’s the solution? I don’t fully know yet. Newness is often accompanied by some form of loss, even when it seems that the newness is straight from the Lord. So how do we talk about our grief when we know that, in part, it’s a result of the Lord choosing to move us into a new place?
I won’t speak for you. But for me, the Lord has brought me into a new phase of life, in more ways than one. And from my perspective, it feels emptier than some of the seasons before it. But maybe it really is better to be in a place that feels emptier if it means the Lord was the One who chose it. And while I don’t always talk about it well, in God’s kindness He used this story to convict me—a story I don’t think I’ll be able to forget now. And I pray that it continues to shape how I talk about the Lord and His work in my life.

Playing catch up in my readings. This was so needed for the season I am currently in. Wishing for the past, but know this is a better season to be in, even tho there is a lot of pain. Trying hard to trust God here.
Father I trust You. Holy Spirit help me to be obedient and follow. In Jesus name, Amen
I really needed to read this today. Recently I’ve been complaining about what I DONT have instead of thanking God for what I DO have. I’m upset because I don’t have another living child. I’m grumbling about how all these other women around me are conceiving with no issues. Today’s readings reminded me that God has placed me in this season for a reason and He will get me out of it. It reminded me that sometimes I need to take a second and instead of glorifying the past when I was pregnant and before my daughter passed away, thank God for the amazing blessings I have in my life now (a healthy albeit sick right now toddler and a husband who both love me). God has given me blessings and instead of complaining about what I don’t have anymore, I should be grateful for what I was given and still have today because of Him. I hope you all are having a wonderful week. For those of you who are going through tough seasons, know that you are not alone and that I am praying for you. I’m sending you all my love ❤️
❤️
Happy Wednesday ladies!! Praying for you all today. What a great reminder of grief. We have all been through a season we wish to get out of. It’s amazing to see Gods kindness when the darkness has gone away. If you’re in a dark place I see you. God sees you and you are loved. I agree @Tricia C. Cassidy you’re in a good place here. Surrounded by love and prayers.
Grappling with the longing for the past and the complexities of talking about disappointment resonated deeply with me. I often romanticize the past. Especially since my brother died suddenly in February. I find myself longing to go back to my childhood. It’s reassuring to know that others struggle with similar feelings and questions. The Israelites complaining in the wilderness really highlights the universal nature of human struggles with discontentment. They did it all those years ago and we still do it today. I have to remember that even in seasons of emptiness or loss, God is present and at work in my life. I need to remember this.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your brother. Prayers of comfort and peace for you! ❤️
Prayers over you and your family.❤️
So here’s a question. Can anyone tell me what the differences between the men’s and women’s reading guide? There are a few of people in my community who would like to do the book of Daniel. The problem is there are no women’s reading guides for sale. They only have men’s reading guides.you can get the digital copy but I would like a real copy.
The scripture readings are always the same, but usually the devotionals are different. The Lady’s devotional is written by a woman, and a male writer for the men. (although this current study had male writer one day, which is a first that I have seen in my 10 years of SRT studies. And I have not been over to HRT this current study to see if the devotionals are the same!)
Cassidy we will be praying with you and for you in this season. You are in a good place here.
WHERE DID THE COMMENTS GO??
– for those of you who said you cannot see some posts in the comment sections – same. They were here when I was reading the devotional, it still says “51 comments” on the page but I can only see 22, including the replies to existing comments… so weird…
That has been happening after you leave a comment. Then you must go back to outline and come back to the current day and they will show again!! HI Heidi!!
AAHHH!!! got it.. wow! lol – hope that little feature gets improved! ha! Thanks for the tip!! And HI!! Good to “see” everyone!!! Missing all the communication… was up til 4 finishing couple papers and just worn out today and needed “community” :) Two more days – lots to still do – then a tiny break! :) Hope you’re well!!
I can relate to romanticizing my past in the midst of the unknown (and discomfort) that exists in my present. I left a career that I excelled at. Often you hear of people making big life changes because of unforeseen blessings wrapped in loss: loss of job, spouse, home, etc. They give God their broken circumstances and he leads them into a new life filled with new experiences. I didn’t lose anything, though. I felt a call to step out and away from something I did well and enjoyed. Though, truth be accurately remembered, towards the end of that career I didn’t feel purposeful. I no longer had a sense of living out my specific/personalized calling. I stepped willingly and obediently out of the familiar and into the very unfamiliar with zero clue where it would take me. It has brought some incredible growth and exposure to a world I would otherwise not know. And, I find it very difficult to live daily in a space where I no longer have confidence in what I do. I get pushed and pulled and asked to step into spaces completely uninformed. But, that is faith lived out. I was reminded recently, doubt–even severe doubt–is not the opposite of faith; the opposite of faith is taking control.
I complain to God often about where he has me and my lack of confidence in ALL of these spaces, but I learn over and over dependance on him and obedience to his call because he is worth that; not because he informs me beforehand. My trust rests in him, not the details of the plan.
The issue with complaining comes when we worship the complaint. We see this in the Numbers 11 account. Their hurt and discomfort and uncertainty didn’t impose too much on God because he CARES FOR his children. His anger burned because they idolized their grief. Their discomfort became the source of their worship in place of their God.
I will keep this passage close to me as I finish out this 2nd to last spring semester (should be graduating NEXT SPRING, LADIES!!!!!!!) I genuinely want for my heart to bring my disappointments and discouragements to him out of reverence because he cares and he’s still worth following in the unknown.
Heidi thank you for your comments.They helped me to understand the “no complaining” thing which confused me and has led to a bit of toxic positivity in my past. Praying for you!
Heidi I very much relate to your comments and the season that you are in. Thank you so much for posting!
Numbers 11:1 got me immediately- I complain too often and I have NEVER once considered how it angered God. I typically do the old “I am so blessed and love my kids BUT they are driving me crazy” or whatever else I am complaining about starts with the blessing but ends with the complaint which leads me to Numbers 11:22 …”would they have enough?” And the reminder that I am never satisfied! I would also like to confess that I am the one gathering 60 bushels instead of just what I need. And for what? So I can complain about how hard I worked to gather?? Lord you have convicted me today! Thank you! My prayer this year has been that the Lord make me new every day and I couldn’t help but smile when Hannah said “newness is often accompanied by some form of loss, even when it seems that the newness is straight from the Lord”. I want to be made new yet I don’t want any loss or hardship! I hear you Lord loud and clear! Happy Wednesday She’s! ☮️❤️ to you all!
So good Alison!
That little word BUT gets me a lot too!
The biggest differences I can see in the complaining is, first of all, Moses went straight to God with his frustration about the people. How often do I go to someone else rather than going straight to God?? Secondly, in the Exodus passage, the people were hungry. They had not yet received the manna so they complained out of want/need. In the Numbers passage, they had already received manna from heaven. They no longer had need…the were complaining in a time of plenty. So God showed anger this time. This convicted me because I too have been guilty of complaining even in a time of plenty. God forgive me
So good Nickie all things I do too!
I appreciate the author’s honesty and vulnerability in sharing the wrestling with the messy middle without tidy answers. I know I am prone to complain and was reminded through today’s devotional that there is a difference between complaining and lamenting. Complaining, to me, comes from pride, doubt, forgetfulness, and turns our hearts away from seeking God. While lamenting follows the words of Peter to cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us, and we can turn to Him for comfort and peace in our circumstances that we are struggling with.
I am very convicted this morning. I have done very little but complain lately about my job. I don’t feel well, I’m not sleeping well, I’m crabby. And I don’t like it. I too, am like the Israelites who look at what God has given me and I’m complaining about it, and looking back at other jobs I liked and wishing I could go back. But this is convicting me that God does not like complaining and murmuring. He would rather that I said “Thank You” and let Him do a work inside of me to accept His provision. I also see that when they wanted meat, they looked at what they had, rather than thinking that God could provide from a source they didn’t know. I often look at what I have now (or the lack of) and don’t think that God could provide from some other unknown source. How foolish to think God can’t think “out of the box”. I must keep my eyes on Him, trust Him to do what’s best for me, and be thankful for what He has already done!!
I can understand this to some degree…I’m definitely in a new season, and it feels hard. It’s amazing too, and very much only God could have done this…but lonely too and trying on me. Only God and but God. He is with me here, and that’s all I need.
I’ve been guilty of wanting to return to simpler times too. I loved Hannah’s perspective on the empty place being God’s choice for me. Such a good reminder to rest and trust that HE knows the why’s… even when we don’t. Love to all.❤️
@ Cassidy Thompson. I was 22 when my 27 yr old husband had a major heart attack, slipped away into a coma that lasted for a year and a half and then passed . We had had 2 children. One 2yrs and one 4 months. I hear you. My prayers go with you. May your husband be healed and May you come to know God’s presence in the midst of all the uncertainty. You are loved dear sister.
I’ll admit – there have been many times that I wish I could go back, but not because I miss those wonderful times (which there were too many to count) but because I’d like to “do over” so much that I feel I didn’t do right. But we can’t go back – we can only go forward and we can start “doing it right” from what ever point we are at. That is God’s grace!
I was convicted right at Numbers 11:1 – “the people complained about their hardships…” …how often do I complain? I am so guilty! But have I ever given it a thought that my complaining angers God? Why should it anger Him — because it means I’m not satisfied with what He’s given me, I’m not satisfied with where He has led me, I’m not trusting His wisdom. It will do me good to remember Psalm 135:6 (God does what He pleases) and Psalm 18:30 (His way is perfect).
@Mia Faith – praying for you as you are missing your dear husband.
@Laura Diane – praying God gives you the wisdom to know what to do in the situation with your daughter.
@Searching – praying your friend has a quick recovery from his hip surgery.
@Tara B – prayers for you as you are missing your mom.
Is it really Wednesday already?? Have a wonderful Wednesday my dear SRT sisters!
♥️
I had never before noticed God’s requirement of the Israelites to preserve two quarts of the manna for the future generations to see the bread he fed them in the wilderness. (Exodus 16:31-32) I am convicted of how few artifacts pictures or stories I have shared with my children about God’s faithful love and merciful provision. My children do not know how abundantly good God has been to us time and again – with no deserving of our own.
Lately I find myself saying that I want to go back. Back to a time when people weren’t so angry and cruel to each other. When chaos wasn’t rampant. BUT I know that is not possible. We are here at this time for a reason.
Dear Lord, help me to see the good in the world. Let my eyes stay focused on YOU. Help me to appreciate that what I have is more than enough. That you alone sustain me.
Right? I find myself longing for that as well. Scary times…but yeah, we were made for such a time has to be our motto! I tend to cower when the opposing crowds get loud, but I want to be Jesus Strong and have courage! Be kind, but know the truth I stand on!
I appreciate Hannah’s honesty. We don’t have all the answers, we can only share how God has help us through a season! I was convicted to about grumbling. We can all slip into it. I’m so thankful for the convicting power of the Holy Spirit to get me back on track. Trust Him, be thankful for His Grace, and repent or confess when we grumble!
Praying for everyone!
Aghhhh, I’m going to have to moan… everything I have written has gone it seems you can’t open something else whilst you are on this site… grrrrrrrr..
I’m not blaming anyone, but I need to vent… more grrrrr-ing!
Praying your days are going better than mine..
Still, I will praise Him who provides, leads and guides, and loves me without judgement!
Praising..
Amen.
Happy Wednesday ladies..
Much love.
Tina..❤️
Numbers 11:17 stood out to me in this reading. As Moses cries out, God is there. “I will take some of the Spirit who is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people,so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.” Christian community is an important and practical part of our faith. I am grateful for this promise that God does not leave us to bear our burdens alone. We can call on Christ to help carry our burdens as well as our community of faith.
Ugh, complaining. It reminds me of my teaching days, when I would plan a super fun day for the kids but there would still be complaints along the way about this and that. The word ungrateful really comes to mind in situations like that. Yet, how many times am I ungrateful for the many ways God has sustained me and provided for me? How many things do I take for granted and don’t even consider a blessing from God? I want to have a more grateful heart toward the Lord, and to not just keep it quiet, but verbally express it as well to those around me.
Rhonda J My Bible study is also finishing up Job. The same truths you pointed out yesterday resonated with me as well. I should be more in awe of God’s glory – reverent for who He is. I often like to immediately shift to a familiar and friendly relationship with God as I pour out my complaints and disappointments to Him. How many times do I think I am the most important person in this equation? How many times do I forget that God is God and He DOES know best what I need and how to get me where I need to be. Just like the Israelites who had to go the LONG way around to get to where they needed to be. I feel like I am on a long road right now, but I also know that God has taken me this way for a reason and I what to lean into the journey instead of wishing I could just cut to the shortcut.
Ok, last thing…I am REALLY struggling as well with this new comment section. I usually read the comments from the day before in the morning before I read the new devotional. Today I could only read 10 of the 61 comments that were supposedly there, including the one that I had made yesterday. I have tried multiple ways to refresh but so far haven’t found the trick. I know it takes awhile to get out glitches from a new format so will be patient in the wait.
Ungrateful, that is what I see when I look back at some of my complaints.
Your insights and comments are spot on. I appreciate you putting into words the feelings I have–both as a former teacher and, alas, a “critiquer.” Your prayers are mine–be grateful, glorify God.
Hi Ladies! I am new to this community.
I’m 25 years old and just found out two weeks ago my husband, 26, has cancer. We have an 8 month old. The weight of this is impossible to carry.
I have a wonderful army of people in my community and church that are helping me carry this burden just like God gave Moses.
However I found myself asking God to take away this situation. Even though He is abundantly blessing us through this, I told him just yesterday I would rather be back in my previous season of less “blessings” just to have my healthy husband back.
He really convicted me today.
I don’t want to miss Him in this season!! His presence is the ultimate blessing!!! Lord, don’t let me squander this season!!
What an inspiring attitude you have in a very hard season of your young life. I will be remembering you in prayer today, that you will feel God’s presence as you walk through this valley and that God will miraculously heal your husband and bring glory to His name through this situation.
Dear Cassidy, for your husband and your family. So glad you have a wonderful support system. May your husband be healed.❤️
Cassidy I will be holding you and your husband in my prayers.
Oh, Cassidy, I am sorry for this. Prayer & submission will sustain you. Doesn’t make it easier. I know you are busy with an 8 month old but try to find some time for you. Perhaps journaling would help you see the flow God has in store. Reflecting on those notes often provides comfort & clarity. Welcome to the Shes.
Cassidy – what a heavy burden to bear. Know that you are not alone – we are all here to carry you and your husband through this, in prayer. May He give the strength you both need step by step and day by day.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry you are having to be in this deep valley, where you probably feel like..WHY?? All I know is I (we) can pray and try to support you! I know the Lord hears the powerful prayers lifted up to him for our sisters in Christ! Your husband is probably going through so many emotions as well, being a new dad, a provider and leader of his young, new family. Praying for him as well and your precious son. Keep your focus on Jesus and don’t let the enemy have your thoughts and the what ifs! Praying for miracle healing. Glad you are here and introduced yourself!
Cassidy, I love your heart and your spirit! Prayers for you that you will feel the peace that surpasses all understanding, and the continual presence of the Spirit with you at all times.
Praying for healing and strength.. for God’s glory to take place in this situation .
The word “convicted” was on my lips before HANNAH LITTLE even said it. And the opening verse from our Numbers reading today… I don’t often “complain openly”, but I do complain. I need to stop it, for sure!
Do you too, sweet She’s? Or am I the only one? ❤️
Yes, Adrienne. I also have my pity parties. Sigh
I appreciate so much the author sharing her heart. She didn’t just put some happy spin on today’s reading and I can relate. Change is difficult and we can romanticize the past and think it was so much better and maybe it was. But the Lord is in whatever newness we’re facing. Lord, help me to know you’re in all of it.
The writer’s comments about ‘going back’, being in a previous season – wow don’t we though? Today, dear ladies, I ask for prayer for a friend who most probably wants to go back for she found her husband unresponsive on their farm yesterday. He passed away in the afternoon – – they lost their adult son several years ago and….well, I cannot imagine her thoughts this morning.
Mae, having lost my husband suddenly in March and our adult son 10 years shot, my heart breaks for hers. Praying!
Griping and complaining drive me crazy. We hear so much of it in today’s world, not unlike the Israelites saying they preferred the slavery they escaped to the food provided by God Himself? Oh, but they wanted variety in the desert – of course they did :/
—
And would I want to go back to some previous place and time? Sure, if I could pick and choose only the good parts, and also keep the good things that happened in and amongst the hard times. Looking for the good and the joy in today’s circumstances, rather than looking back with rose colored glasses.

VICTORIA E – praise the Lord for improving GI issues
KRIS ❤️
MIA FAITH – love and hugs as you walk this painful path ❤️
LAURA DIANNE, RHONDA J and others in the waiting and praying for our prodigals, and for the Lord’s guidance and comfort in the waiting. Trying to wait on Him unless/until I feel compelled to talk with someone.
CEE GEE ❤️
This season is empty for me, but I’m convinced that this season is where I need to be if God choose it. I’m grateful to the author of today’s reflection that said this so well. I’m still grieving over the loss of my daughter.
Kim J. G. – I am so sad for your loss. I lost my son 10 years ago and the ache is so deep. I lost my hubby of over 45 years just two months ago and gosh…it is a heartbreaking season! praying for you!
Kim J.G.- I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the heartache, unfortunately there are so many others here on SRT that have also lost children. I pray for you all. May God put His loving arms around you, comfort you and give you peace.
Mia Faith – continued prayers for you. Your loss is so fresh. I am so sorry that you not only lost your husband, but your son too. May God continue to pour out on you His grace – His amazing grace. ❤️
If only all of the Lord’s people were prophets and the Lord would place his Spirit on them! We do have His Spirit, His Holy Spirit and yet still complain and grumble. Most times it come from not listening and obeying to what Holy Spirit is telling me, guiding me into the place of peace. If only I would obey every time not just when it’s convenient for me! Lord help me, continue to pour your spirit out.
Obedience, faith, trust, and humility are my takeaways from today.. as well as KNOWING God!! He sees, hears, answers and provides!!! He does what is best for us!! *reminder: He has the bigger picture, NOT us!!! Therefore let us recognize Him and never forget to rejoice in and thank Him, especially in the hard & trying times, as this brings Him glory and draws us close to Him!! Amen.
Also wanted to share this quote
“you are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of that choice” -unknown
Have a blessed day dear She’s!!
Love this quote.
What a great reminder that the season I’m in is God’s will. If that is true there is a reason and a purpose. I needed that reminder this morning as I’m weary and tired from many months of hard and now a season of extra caregiving. Lord I will rest in the fact that this season is Your will for me.
“Maybe it is better to be in a place that is emptier if it means the Lord is the One who chose it.” Many, that is hard. I truly see what she means and I believe it. But then my selfishness kicks in and cries, “but I don’t want to be empty or lonely or without.” Mother’s Day is coming and all my daughters’ graduation activities and such and I just wish my mom was here to be a part of it; to celebrate with her and me and my family. To help me make decisions, shoot…just to see her smile and give her a big, long hug. I know she is with the Lord, happy and joyful and complete. But it leaves me lonely at times. This will be my 3rd Mother’s Day without her and I don’t talk about it a lot. But this morning, the empty is there. BUT GOD…I know He is with me and has a plan for me and will guide me during my days. I didn’t mean to throw myself a pity party this morning. But my separation in top of it all, makes it that much emptier. DONE. Pity Party over! God is good and I am fine. My kids are healthy, well fed, clothed and loved well. Prayers for all those feeling they are in an empty season today. God knows and His plans are for our good. Have a great day She’s!
Praying you feel God’s presence as you miss your mom in this season. I don’t think that sadness and missing her are the same as complaining. Those emotions are natural. God invites us to give our emotions to him so that he can heal us. ❤️
❤️
Tara, praying that your loneliness will dissipate as you celebrate with your daughters. Missing mom fades a little with time, but never really goes away. My mom has been gone for 12 years – weeks or even months can go by and I don’t give it much thought, but then occasions like my first grand-baby being born and I miss her and so wish she were here!
Prayers for you on this coming Mother’s Day. ❤️
Fist thing that popped into my head was Keith Green’s song, “So You Want to Go Back to Egypt”
Moses’ humility shines with, “If only all the Lord’s people were prophets and the Lord would place his Spirit on them!” I am (we are) the living the reality of his wish!
SEARCHING – prayers for your friend’s 2nd hip replacement recovery.
I thought the same thing about Moses’ wish! Haven’t noticed that before. So neat.
Kelly (Neo) – thanks for pointing that out! I missed it!
@ RYAN MYERS: Good morning! I love the new design of the website, being able to reply directly to other comments, and scrolling instead of “passing” pages to read the comments.
If I can give you some feedback/make a request: Is there a way to make the comment window/section bigger? And to have white space between text lines (that would make long comments more easy to read)?
God’s blessings to you and the SRT team! Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Agree with your suggestions, and the print is so tiny :)
Aghhhh, I’m going to have to moan… everything I have written has gone it seems you can’t open something else whilst you are on this site… grrrrrrrr..
I’m not blaming anyone, but I need to vent… more grrrrr-ing!
Praying your days are going better than mine..
Still, I will praise Him who provides, leads and guides, and loves me without judgement!
Praising..
Amen.
Happy Wednesday ladies..
Much love.
Tina..❤️
Agreed
Julia I agree it’s a better in some places and a little tougher in others… I have found on my screen, if I decrease the width of the window to fit about (for me) 1/2 the width of my computer screen, it automatically cuts out the devotional-text and the (more narrow) window only displays the comments section, making it a little bit larger and possibly easier to maneuver. Hope this helps… and makes sense ;)
I also felt convicted by this passage… Although I have not been struggling with grief, I have been struggling with pride and greed, thinking: “I can do this by myself!” (Or exactly the opposite: I can’t do this, what should I do?) and: “If only I had this….” The result? A distorted reality of how I see myself and God, not acknowledging Who He is and what He has done.
How quickly I forget… To not remember and celebrate the Lord’s gifts. To let distractions cloud my thinking…
Just as HANNAH LITTLE said: “He is not trying to make obeying His Word complicated, confusing, or tricky.”
Obeying God’s Word is not easy, but God shows us the way: He is the solution.
– Philippians 2:13 | “For it is God who is working in you both to will and to work according to His good purpose”.
– Philippians 4:12-13 | “I know both how to make do with little and I know how to make do with a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content — whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.
AMANDA BIBLE WILLIAMS wrote a devotional about these verses in the SRT Bible where she says: “In Christ I have all I need. And, friends, so do you.” May we look up, repent and return to God!
—————————————-
Dear Father,
Just like the Israelites, I am quick to forget and slow to remember.
Just like the Israelites, I am quick to complain and slow to let You be the desire of my heart.
BUT GOD.
You are slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.
You are not trying to make obeying Your Word complicated, confusing, or tricky.
Help me to remember that in You I have all I need.
Praying AMANDA’s prayer:
“May Your strength be our contentment.
May Your grace fuel our faith.
And may the message of our story be simply this: In Christ I have all I need. And, friends, so do you.”
In Jesus’ name,
AMEN.
JULIA C I am right there with you. Thank goodness we have a loving and forgiving God. I am so grateful for his provision. But, I often forget all he has done for me and want to grumble and complain.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, sister!s!
Agreed! God is so faithful, He is always good – yet so often I forget! And the verses you shared from Philippians so true!
