Patience is my cousin, who three years blogged about her first born, Issac's complications during delivery and in his short life that lasted 24 weeks. Her passage is worth reading. Although not everyone goes through the same tragedies, those with faith can relate to the trying times of believing and living in their faith.

She writes so beautifully. She is humble and honest with her struggles and revelations with the Lord. Like all of her readers for this particular blog, I am wiping away the tears from my eyes. I am crying for the darkness that she and her husband fight often, followed by tears of joy when she realizes the Jesus is with her and loves her. I am also crying because I frequently feel that lost and doubt about my relationship with the Lord. But today, her words gave me a gift and reminded me "He did not judge or condemn my weakness but rather met me in it. He saw me as I was and loved me in the midst of it" (because I could not have said it better myself).
Firecracker.... KABOOM!
