I know from personal experience that God stands beside us when all seems to be lost. He won't stop us from having problems but He's there to stand beside us. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us and good luck with the contest.

First, thank you for taking time to read and comment on my writing. I know there is a time for everything and there is nothing new under the sun. Thank goodness I had that relationship with Him and was able to stand under the shadow of the Almighty.
Comment from Brenda Strauser
I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Many people would have lost their faith but you held steadfast. Your poem is so heart felt and well written. Great job. Good luck in the contest.

First of all, I am so sorry to hear of the hard times you have been going through. It is devastating and I can't even imagine what it must feel like. Your poem is a heartbreaking story of your losses and feelings, but that you are looking for a life lesson amongst all this loss is a sign of faith and hope. This is a great entry for the My Faith poetry competition and I wish you luck, not only with the contest, but with your situation.

Comment from Daniel Milton Taylor
Jennifer, this is such a touching and well written story about the power and ability of God's restorative power that keeps us moving forward. In spite of the devastating test of your faith that came upon you, your faith in God stayed intact. Your ability to hold the reader captive is amazing. It's one thing to read about Job, but another to read about a modern day Job experience and to see the same faithfulness to God acted out. You kept your eyes on the most valued possession that never left your side. May God continue to bless and replenish your life because of your faithfulness to Him. Daniel

Time is precious and the one thing that certainly we never can get back. I say this to say Thank you for your time to read and comment on my writing. I must confess, there was a period there, when I thought the ..... with it all. I am grateful great was He that was in me than he that is in this world. It is due to people, such as yourself, that I love Fan Story. Every comment, regardless, drives me to be a better writer in hopes that there may be one that can relate to any one of them that are written. It certainly is not me, this much I am smart enough to know. Be Blessed Daniel and thank you again.

Jennifer, I only have one correction for you. Everyone who believes in God and accepts His son Jesus, is an Extremely Smart person. Because of the Great One that's inside of you, your writing and speaking will help and inspire anyone looking for that. I know this to be true because I've been helped and inspired by what you've written/spoken. When we look at ourselves things may not look good, but when we look at the Great One inside of us it should lift up our heads and encourage us to keep it moving and to never accept what the enemy wants us to believe about ourselves. You're a warrior and champion...now go fight this good fight of Faith with your head lifted up and watch God move for and through you. God bless, Daniel

Yes sir, some times the passion and love we feel for and from the Father and Son, we have to be reminded that not everyone is a believer in His son Jesus Yehusua! They will claim their belief in God, yet there is no separation between the two. Jesus said me and my Father are one. Thanks Daniel and stay dressed in the armor of God. Never loose or take off a piece of it.

Thank you Patricia for your time reading and commenting on my writing. It has been extremely challenging these past few years. I am fortunate however, I believe and know God. There are many that don't and I hate to imagine getting through such an ordeal without any hope. Thank goodness I did not give up or have it change my hope. Again thanks and God Bless!

Again with all humility, thank you for taken time to read. It has been in all honesty a nightmare but I know and believe that all things have a reason for happening. All things work together for good and yes slowly but surely, God is putting the pieces in place and I have not doubt the outcome will super succeed all loss! Thanks again Dolly, Be Blessed!
Comment from royowen
How terrible for you Jennifer, I think there are a lot of people that have lost their homes in recent times, and have been forced to live in a tent, Paul refers to his body as a tent, a different kind of tent, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy
Typo : I (loss) my home. Lost?

Thanks Roy. I appreciate your time reading and commenting. I really appreciate the catch with the typo. This is why I love Fan Story because of the responses, input and alike to help the writer be even a better writer.
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
What a lovely poem. It flowed nicely throughout. I did find what I think is a typo: Remember {that I am that I am } and you are my work of art} or is it supposed to be that way?

Thank you Cecilia for your time reading and commenting. It is appreciated so much and Fan Story is terrific for others to help others become better writers. What you actually thought was a typo is suppose to be that way but thank you because it may have been.

Comment from Begin Again
Life isn't fair, and most of the time, we don't know why things happen to us. We just know that it is out of our control, and darkness overwhelms us no matter how hard we try to understand. You've had a very difficult time, and fighting to keep your head above the stress is almost impossible. But lucky for you, you can find the light because you have faith in the Lord. He will see you through this and never leave your side.
Hugs, Carol

Thank you Carol for your time reading and commenting. It has been a rough few years and your right as far as handling that loss of control. A fruit of the Spirit I am still trying to apply daily. You know it is fruit and not fruits so to me all one of the same. Without one there is no other if you know what I mean. Thanks again, I appreciate your kind words.
