[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 284767, member: 7416"] I know you said, [COLOR=green]"don't tell me that God only gives me what I can handle" [/COLOR][COLOR=black]but He does. However, I would rather say, that things happen all in His plan. I have come to accept this over the years, as I struggle with wanting time to do things....I like to be creative too, in lots of different ways.
