INTRODUCTION

WITH ALL THE UPS AND downs that my life has had over the past few years, it is amazing that God would say I am not done with you yet. Through out my tests, trials and tribulations I have found myself questioning God very often. In his word he has said we walk by faith and not by sight and if that is the case, we should trust him blindly, right?

This is easier said than done and this memoir seeks to detail a struggle with God albeit a stubborn, witty and at times rude conversations with God who is trying to enforce the word even though he is continuously met with retort after retort.

It sums up exactly how we tend to wrestle with God daily and how difficult it is to reassure us of his omniscience, omnipotence, his omnipresence and unconditional love for us.

At the end there is one week devotional with personal anecdotes from the author detailing how God has proven himself and led her through some of her struggles.

Do enjoy and I hope it will help to strengthen your relationship with God and reassure you of his unconditional love no matter how vile, rude, distant or malicious you think you may become.

ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)

CONVERSATIONS

WITH GOD

God, I know you have a sense of humor, That which I seem to lack

But now seriously I feel like a laughing stack.

I WANT TO DIE, I WANT to die Seems to be my immortal cry, Lost in a world of dread, When all around me is chaos,

All I can seem to do is hang my head

YOU PROMISE NEVER TO leave me or forsake me, But hey God there is no way out,

As far as my eye can see

I AM TRAPPED AND EVERY day more and more I falter,

Heck I am tired of being ridiculed and the object of laughter

I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me,

But I am weak as rat and cannot even go on bended knees

THIS TOO SHALL PASS, you are not lost,

Come on let us get real, this is not a test I can pass

YOU NEVER GIVE ME MORE than I can bear,

But I am all cried out and all I am left with is fear

THE RACE IS NOT FOR the swift but who can endure

But I am seriously done I cannot take much more

Be not conform to this world but be ye transformed,

But I have lost this battle because sinning has become my norm

SET YOUR EYES ON THINGS which are above,

But how do I when there are so much earthly things I love.

YES, THINGS OF THE world are temporary,

But I want to keep up with the contemporary,

BELIEVE ON ME AND YOU shall be saved,

But why should I? When it seems my way to hell is already paved,

I COME TO SEEK AND save that which was lost,

But it makes no sense I am already an outcast.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFULLY and
