I've been reading Job for the...This is interesting. I've been reading Job for the past month with a group of women. I wrote this the other day and I just found what you wrote on U2's song Yahweh. I'll share it with you.<BR/><BR/>Yahweh<BR/><BR/>You say in Joshua as well as in Hebrews, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Forgive me Lord Jesus and have mercy on me but this question bores into my brain. I've pushed it down long enough. But Father, to be honest, I was forsaken and abandoned by you. My God, where were you when my mother died and left with me panic, anxiety, fear and dread? Where were you when she left me rejected, lost and on my own? Where were you when the boys attacked me in the yard and in the safety of my home? God... where were you people teased me unmercifully and no one would step in. Father, where were you when the boy abused me in the pool of my neighborhood friends? My God, where were you when my boyfriend raped me or when the love of my life left? Where were you for 14 years while I sat in the pit of despair, nights of restlessness and days filled with hopelessness and broken spirit? Father God, where were you when my children were taken never to be acknowledged as one? Father where were you when my grandparents all died within twenty-two months? My Father where were you when my closest friends betrayed me and turned my husband in to the elders to reprimand? O God where were you when loved ones ridiculed and criticized my heart because I don't fit their hollow form. Have mercy on me, Yahweh....but where were you?<BR/><BR/>My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me. Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility. Job 17:1-2<BR/><BR/>From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:45-46<BR/><BR/>Then I said, "For how long O Lord?" And he answered: "Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged and the land is utterly forsaken. Isaiah 6: 11-12<BR/><BR/>My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not silent. Psalm 22 of David.<BR/><BR/>Your ways are not my ways. Your thoughts are not my thoughts. To you O Lord, I place my trust. To you O Lord I place my hope. I do not understand, but you O Lord have my heart.<BR/>Halle Halle Halle Hallelujah <BR/><BR/>beckyrebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739335275578339422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-1143994898928852802006-04-02T09:21:00.000-07:002006-04-02T09:21:00.000-07:00"There is an eternal spring bringing the freshest ...<EM>"There is an eternal spring bringing the freshest water to my greatest thirst."</EM><BR/><BR/>Absolutely beautiful to hang onto this.

I don't feel like writing a post on it, but I thought I could stick a few words about it in a comment.<BR/><BR/>So here you go, Pechur:<BR/><BR/>I know that Bono said it was about an imaginary club.<BR/><BR/>The music ties in very well to the whole out-of-control, overloaded senses thing that is true of clubs and our post-modern culture in general.<BR/><BR/>Everything is relative, nothing is absolute... so we are going through life, spinning around, getting a case of "Vertigo". <BR/><BR/>In the midst of the mad scene is a crucifix hanging around a young woman's neck. A spark of sanity, a glimmer of light... Jesus.<BR/><BR/>That is what our Lord is for us, something we can fix our eyes on, a steadiness amidst chaos.<BR/><BR/>At least... that is how I interpret the song.Curious Servanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564580536911743558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-1143846019454138222006-03-31T15:00:00.000-08:002006-03-31T15:00:00.000-08:00A week ago (on the post: "I Still Haven’t Found Wh...A week ago (on the post: "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For")there was a string of comments to and fro surrounding a comment left by an anon. blogger who later identified herself as Christine.<BR/><BR/>She is feeling a little shell shocked and I think perhaps the whole thing may have been over poor word choice.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I just want to let folks know how she may be feeling and that she is welcome here to speak her mind, even if it from a unique perspective.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to those who came riding to my defense.
