I think sometimes God does that to make us realize He wants to be Who we rely on. He doesn't mind us counting on people and knows we need that. But He wants, and certainly deserves, to be number 1 in our lives. He alone truly knows us and can help us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-25110574045087066992016-12-31T13:29:06.064-06:002016-12-31T13:29:06.064-06:00Anon 8:36, that sounds like a good idea, but I can...Anon 8:36, that sounds like a good idea, but I cannot afford that.

My situation is so complex, that I'm afraid of hurting everyone; including the people at my church. This is why I grasp strongly onto the Duggars, because they were my "ticket out" the first time I felt like this.SuperJames526https://www.blogger.com/profile/12886627770428646871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-69764330394449645422016-12-29T17:59:29.758-06:002016-12-29T17:59:29.758-06:00I am from Canada and got more interested in the Du...I am from Canada and got more interested in the Duggars and Bates when I was going through intense pain that led to very invasive surgery. Before everything was diagnosed and I was in constant pain, I found comfort in the Godly way of life the Duggars live. I am no perfect soul myself, and realize that the Duggar family has faults as well but it brought me a lot of peace to watch the shows and read your blog. Thank you for helping me without even knowing it. Now that everything is healed and I am (thank God) healthy again, I still read your blogs and remember how finding distraction in them helped me through the toughest challenge I have faced so far.

I seriously doubt God is looking down on your in your time of need and saying nope - this one's not worthy. He's not that kind of God! He helps you most when you need Him most! You must know how kind his Son is, too! And may I suggest turning off all things Duggar, this blog after today included, to start helping you get past this problem. The solution does not include continuing to think about them. Think about yourself first.

I learned over time that your blog was one I could rely on for honesty and integrity. You do a great job of keeping negative comments to a minimum. I love following the Duggars and you make that easy to do. I really love your blogs that come up after a show. We dont have a tv with channels (thanks to the Duggars influence). You describe the shows so well that if I ever happen to see a show via youtube or at a hotel, it feels like I have already seen it because of your summaroes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031090220686192407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-7976781034004992002016-12-28T22:27:31.309-06:002016-12-28T22:27:31.309-06:00Wow!
