Thank you so much. Words of wisdom here, that is for sure. I've never heard that verse used in this type of situation, but you can be sure I will get up right now and read that chapter!
I am going back, I know that #1) they are caring Christian people, one of whom is just a little blunt in her concern, and #2) I have to be willing to make friends somehow, I have to put myself out there. I had a wonderful network of friends and family at home and here there is no one, so I have to make the effort, and I am. Bible study, BUNCO, playgroups for the kids - whatever I can find to plug in.
I really want them to find "NOTHING" too, but I have that weird fear that people will think I've been making all this up, or that I'm not "able to handle" the stressors of life and so "every little thing" gives me a "tummyache". I have a need to be and be thought of as a strong person! Hence being so absolutely mortified at crying in front of all those people. But Mom reminded me that these fears are wrong and I just need to give them over to the Lord any time they come up, and ask Him to give me the right kinds of thoughts about this, and He will. I know she (and you!) are right.
Thanks again.
