Wrestling with God lately. That's a good thing though. It means there is communication happening between myself and the Creator of the universe!
Several friends are enduring heart-breaking circumstances. From the loss of a child, to the loss of a child as he was "before the accident", a family enduring the heartache of a divorce they didn't see coming, a teen boy who is not cherished by his family, a friend who survived a suicide attempt, the list goes on...
Many days the tears just pour down my face because the sadness and pain are too much. And there is not much that I can do to take away anyone's pain. I'm glad that my God understands my tears and hears my heart. Because when I do not have words, He prays on my behalf.
God is real! He is in control even when we wonder how on earth He is allowing such things to happen. I do believe in a perfect God whose ways I cannot fathom.
I offer up to Him my praise, my questions, my anger, my love and my trust. I do trust Him!
Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17

- I am a mom to 2 great kids. I am a child of God who is pursuing after Him as I learn to live in my "new normal". Diagnosed with a life altering illness in June of 2007 and the end of my marriage less than a year later, life has taken a new path. One that I am learning to accept and appreciate. As my illness caused me to be basically home bound, my family named the living room couch "my perch". Thus the title of this blog.

Oh, Sheryl! I know where you are coming from......three of my high school classmates lost their husbands in the last 8 months and another friend who is much younger than I am lost her husband to cancer in June and her younger sister yesterday! It's been a sad time. Knowing God is sovereign is all we have to lean on!
What a nice surprise! I haven't looked at a blog until very recently and most of the ones I had listed are no longer writing. I think it is interesting that we both for some reason decided to post our thoughts. And I agree, there are hurting people all around. We have lost several friends and family recently but I am in that age bracket that it's to be expected.. . but the pain is no less because of age.
Easter is almost here. . May you experience deeper joy than ever before.
