Like Jobs friends, blaming my own inadequacy all the while God is saying, &#8220;Who are you? Do you move stars and mountains? Do you have that power?&#8221; No, Lord.  I am where you have me. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=darcielynn.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10123086&amp;post=253&amp;subd=darcielynn&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
