The syndromes symptoms seem very familiar(unfortunately) to me as we have ministered here throughout these past 18 years. Two keys for me has to do with the largeness of the Lord (mentioned in the article) and recognizing the simplicity and power of God's love. His largeness- His surpassing greatness- His abundant mercies, the power of His grace, His ability to neither slumber, sleep or leave us. The fact that even darkness is light to Him. He alone has the ability to do above all that we could even imagine. Romans 10:11 says "Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed."--now that is a powerful promise. Our gain with Our Father is so above and beyond-- He is so Incredible! The other truth lately that I find myself focusing on is the power of God's love in us and through us. In recent times of struggle where situations seem to crumble and failure is knocking, My Father has reminded me simply that I have loved. And that love covers a multitude of sins; that love is the foundation and the "necessary" in all He does. So when the complicated seems more complicated, I love. I love God and I love others. It's the most important and it can be done anywhere and anytime. Love you guys!! We are praying for you!!!

Disappointment is a butt-kicker. No, it's a butt-KILLER. It'll kill your butt! The truth is, it's not up to us to decide whether what we are doing out here is profitable or not; the jury is still out on that stuff. We just gotta do what He tells us and be daughters (and sons) and let Him decide at the end what's good or bad. There's lots going on that we don't see... :) Right you are, Amy.
