i try to be a good daughter, to look out for my mother.
but i fail in that i am quick to temper and react to her manipulations.
each time i fail
why is it that God uses her to test me.. this test i am doomed to fail
honor your father and mother.. i remember this but i try to do this but it is not easy.
God did not tell me that they will test your patience.. they will try to suffocate and stifle you
she can sometimes be vile and her actions can sometimes be cruel and i more than any siblings am at the receiving end of this..
i want to be a better daughter but most times i fail
i try to keep distance between us because experience has taught me this is sometimes best
when she is upset she has to look to upset someone close by and i am the rabbit receiving the shot
lord give me strength - each time i tell myself i will learn to do better but i keep falling back into the same old trap
each time i tell myself i will turn the other cheek but i don't
God give me patience
the old feelings of mistrust and fear keeps flooding back into my head
and i am trying to keep them at bay
for i ask myself what kind of a mother is this..
Lord help me to be different for my children,
to love them in totality to be honest with then, to support then to guide them in truth founded on reality.
not to be duplicitous with them, help me to be different.
i guess this should be the thought for each person - Lord i want to be better for my children than my parents were with me..By thy grace i can be better..

Burning in furnace -
My way, your Way, Our Way..
This is a good example of how we human beings like to confuse and stir things up.
the best intentions is left for God to decide.. We all think we are doing something worthwhile but in actual fact, It is god who oversees what we do and the final consequences of our actions.
..
i saw this on another site and it gives you a snap shot of different translations of surah 85 Burooj.
who is to say which translation carries more weight than the other?
who is to say that the author has used the best words to translate
who is to say that the author is correct..
it just goes to remind me of the issue with the bible and its different versions i.e king james, new kind james, gospel edition etc...
in fact truly there is noting new under the sun.. for century of years people have been before us.. and surely they may be some after us until God decides no more...
God help us find a way to YOUR TRUTH...to decipher through century old misconceptions, distortions, additions and subtractions.. to lead us to the pure truth - Your worship - no ambiguity no pretense, just unadulterated praise of THEE..
