That was great Sara. I really like that quote. I am going to have to write that one down.

I love the way you share your faith and strength. Thank you.

Thanks for your reflection, Sara. YOU GO, Girl! God has enlightened you and loves you sooo much. What a gift that you are happy and willing to share your life of faith and your continued journey. Keep growing!

Now I have a quote that I'm going to print out and post on my bulletin board and read every day:

"...stop asking God to change the other person, change the situation, change my health. I ask Him to change my heart and steady my soul... to see what He needs me to see and be who He needs me to be. Those are my moments of surrender, and I think as long as I'm breathing I'll have to keep repeating that process." -Sara

Thanks for another great lesson, and a great message to start my day. You have no idea how much I needed those words this morning : )

Sara, you are such an encouragement to me. This is an amazing post and I'm forwarding it on to friends and family. I think everyone should read this...

Sara, What a gift you have given your readers! We all need to stop and think about how we live our lives for the glory of God and you are a beautiful example for us all. Thank you!

You just know what to say to inspire me. You are truly gifted with your words and when I'm feeling down I have turned to your blog to help restore my faith. God bless you.

Oh Sara, I am so honored! The minute I saw the title I had to wonder. I've been sitting here trying to summarize what to say exactly. My first thought is I feel so "lucky" to have stumbled upon your blog and so blessed to be getting to know you. As a former mental health professional you epitomize the message I tried so hard to help people understand. But I know my words can't resonate with people in the same way as yours do because I haven't been there and won't ever pretend to know what true suffering is. My struggles are of the "every day" variety and I feel so very blessed because of this and I try to live with a grateful and compassionate heart.

You have a POWERFUL voice, an undeniable PRESENCE. I know you can write and have a story to tell and others will benefit because of it. I would now add to the Gitz list of talents... spiritual teacher. Thank you for sharing as always and for taking the risk of answering a personal question from a reader/stranger who now feels more like a friend! Vicky

Thank you so much Sara for your thought-provoking and amazing posts. I too have pain issues on a daily basis. My feet hurt so badly today that it was a struggle to get to the restroom and safely back to my desk at my workplace. But I did. Some days are more of a struggle than others, but I know what I need to do. And I can surrender without losing my joy in life. And I am so glad that I have found your blog. You are an inspiration.

As long as we're living the process continues. You teach me so much, Sara. It's almost like having a support group, to be able to learn of struggles and understand how people with similar lives deal with it all.

Thank you for being so open and for helping me to become aware of many things.

Love you.
