Dom, I am responding to your post in the welcome center. http://www.pudendalhope.info/forum/view ... f=2&t=6683

I understand the part about having your faith tested. I never completely let go because I always felt like if I did -- then I would have nothing, right? Besides the evidence for Christianity and the resurrection is so overwhelming that I don't think I could ever stop believing. Sometimes you can find a purpose and meaning in your suffering. I recently watched a movie about Dietrich Bonhoeffer and I may get his biography out of the library. (by Eric Metaxas) It's a powerful story about a man who lost his life trying to help other people. Just thought I would suggest it since you are into a reading mode right now. Your gf sounds like a very nice person.

Dom, I'm sorry about the dark pit. My husband and I were just talking last night about what a dark pit we were both in when I was going through the worst of PN. Just the other day I read the story in Luke when Jesus was about to be crucified and he told Peter that Satan was asking to sift him like wheat. Luke 22:31. Or a different translation says that he told Peter, "Satan has demanded to have you". Sort of like the story of Job, I guess.

I don't know why you are going through this trial right now. You are a really nice intelligent guy and I'm sure God has has something special planned for you. Sometimes people who go through the worst things have the most to offer.
