"They" the scientists later found out that the trees needed wind to grow; because without the constant force of the wind upon the trees, the roots couldn't grow into the ground, therefore producing weak and dying trees. Andrea, the LORD wants to make you strong, and He's using these difficult circumstances to make you strong in Him. You are by no means a "sideline Christian", you are an example and you're example should be emulated. Keep persevering, i'm praying for you! The Lord is good!

(ps 139:12). May he soon shed light so that you can see what he has been doing in the darkened places...but tonight as you wait for that, I pray you will feel the specificity and tenderness and infinitely wise care of God's thoughts for you..."How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you" (v. 18).<BR/><BR/>sarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
