If that were God's plan, it's a bad bargain; I don't want to have to deal with a God like that... My sense is God and I came to an accommodation with each other a couple of decades ago, where he's gotten used to the things that I'm not capable of and I've come to terms with things he's not capable of...and we care very much about each other. Harold S. Kushner
About This Quote

I have a very good relationship with god it's not a perfect one by any means but i love him and he loves me. I do believe that there is only one true god and that he created everything and all of us. I had a very rough upbringing and was abused by my father. My older brother committed suicide after being abused by my father as well.

I am now a single mom of two children, a boy and a girl. i am perfectly fine but at times I feel guilty for not being a better mother to my son on the days that he is at school and then having to work late nights. on those days i feel guilty for leaving him with my mother.

i fear that on those days i'll look up at the sky and see the angels of god on their way to collect him away from me as my son is killed or will be hit by a car as he walks home from school. talk about guilt it terrifies me some days because i know what's going to happen to him some day soon.
