Much love to everybody,

Having completely lost my mind again...We adopted a kitten and both she and my daughter have made it through the first day...Yeah

And so, having a new little one-keeps a mama up at night...

Well, as usual when the temperature goes below freezing-we run the faucets...and when I turned the water on, in the kitchen, I thought nothing of it...There were a couple plates still in the sink-no big deal...

At 1:00 am, this morning...the new baby woke me up...But I had no reason to go in the kitchen and still don't remember why I did it...or why I looked at the sink!!!

If, for instance, I had waken up probably just 5 minutes later-the whole sink would have overflowed into the floor!!! One of the plates stopped up the drain...there is a ridge around the bottom that fits exactly into the drain!!! My my...I am overwhelmed with gratitude that The Lord woke me up!!! Giving Him all the credit for my life now...and everything that happens in it-no matter How He Does It...He is my Help In Time of Trouble...

O Lord, Thank You!!!

Whew...We can believe it!!! Thank You, Jesus!!! and praying...

And when all that happens up above (What Joshua said)...Whew...Now that's what I'm talking about...

Stir...You have just encouraged me today-Thank you!!! And I won't stop praying...

Much love to you jaberwockie and everyone...

When I was an unbeliever...I heard only: Repent or Go To Hell...There was no love not whatsoever revealed to me at that time...And even in the very beginning I was like the seed that wasn't sewn on fertile ground but on the rocks...I would just slip away at any little ol' doubt that came up...

All that has changed...and since this is a wonderful journey...and we are running a magnificient race...and just knowing that I have been touched "By The Master" Who Is Now My Lord and King...and been filled with His Love and Peace With Grace and Mercy Following us Wherever we Go...Well...The only way I can describe it for me is that I'm not waiting...I am getting to live "Heaven on earth"...and that is the only way I can describe it...Is every second blissful and no problems...No...but we are overcomers of those things now...

See, in the beginning, I had to throw away everything I thought I ever knew...and start all over...all my thoughts needed changing-I was losing my mind, literally-because I needed The Mind of Christ...and I love your signature AlanLamb...Whew...It took me back for a minute but some of us get to live that!!! Oh Yes...The Lord Wants All of us...every bit...and when I got to that point that; that, was my desire, too...I have read your signature twice now and my my...I'm a witness!!!

Would anything separate me now? No...Not even if my final destination is different than what I understand it is...To not live what I am living now on earth...now-that would be the travesty...

Oh God...You are so good!!! My my...

Much love to you, LadyKay...

It's amazing how and when God enlightens us to His Truths...He does allow some of us to live through many things-this is just my testimony...I suppose it is so that when we do eventually choose Him and His Way...He can use what we thought was horrible and bad-all those things That He Can Certainly Turn Around For Good...Of course, at the time, I didn't want to hear that-when I was going through my bad stuff with no hope of it ever changing...(Not saying that I have always made the right decisions-but I've never lived the same horror twice...the circumstances have always changed) but I didn't want to hear that God was going to use it one day...because at the time without the correct understanding-I looked at it like God just loved me being in horribleness so that He could use it...(there are more Truths about this part) but the fact remains He does and Has used it...In some cases to save another person's life...Only after I came to a faith IN HIM...Only after He indwelled me mightily For His Glory...I Thank God For Free Will...or else I would be dead without Him...

Just to see it in real time...Hahaha...and the understanding that comes...When I was without God-I was living with a man not married-and we drank every night...and because I so loved this man (he never ever told me he loved me-never) I decided that I had to be totally honest with him so that he would know me...and not knowing that I was living Ephesians 2:1-10 at that very moment...eventually in drunken stupors he used everything I told him against me...If there was an awful human being that lived on this planet it was me-according to him...I believed his lies for a very long time...notice he never ever told me any of his past-never...Ephesians 2 Is my Truth...and is what has happened to me...By faith I believe!!!

I made some very hard choices for this above situation to change-mainly a belief that God loved me like He said in His Word...I've always wanted to do the right things...That meant staying with somebody forever...I just got everything out of order...Belief in God...Changed by Him...Relationship with God...Spend much time with God...Know Him...Wait for person to marry and live with that has-belief in God-that has been changed by Him...that has a relationship with God and spends much time with God...Knows Him...It's really quite simple...But did I do this? Nope...I couldn't see it-didn't know to do it...

Now...this has helped me to understand what is happening...

Adam did lose "God's perfection that we were to all live in"...and when he did...he lost it for all of us...which had to be-because sin separates us from God...

Satan was given permission, Ephesians 2:2-3...to rule on the earth...

Romans 5:19 describes: through (A man), (Eph. 2: 2-3) with the spirit of the prince of the power of the air; the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, Adam's disobedience-many were made sinners and through (A Man), with The Holy Spirit, Jesus' Obedience-many will be made righteous...

So we are born into sin...into "the world"...then hopefully-at some point-we hear about Jesus...somebody please bring me Hope In Jesus...and so now we have free will to choose...Life or Death...but sin is so good for a while...but then it tries to steal, kill and destroy...and will succeed unless we choose differently...and stop believing the lies...And Come To The Way, The Truth and The Life...

This is what I've decided...I will read God's Word for myself and pray That He Will Enlighten His Word In me...and that He will Light my Path...and lead me and guide me where He would have me go...I don't believe what everyone says...but I can pray and ask God to Reveal His Truth-to enlightened the part He gives me...He will enlighten it at the exact right time...

Let us Walk In The Light...Love you in Him...NeedYouLord

I am praying for all of these concerns and more...In The Name of My Savior, Lord and King...Jesus

Much love to you, cross...The only reason I can see so much of The Hand of God in your situation is because it is so similar to mine...and regardless if there was abuse or not as a child...I think without God in our lives...being led and guided by Him...we just plain walk around with insecurities-and still being a human in the flesh-we sometimes still do have these insecurities at times...In Him, His Word and our brothers and sisters is our answer (because He is in them)...Sometimes I go through periods where I just need to hear: It's going to be ok...and like Hall said: We need our medicine (The Bible) everyday...A dose of it everyday...That's what I need...and like that ol' Southern Gospel song I heard the other day said: My doctor (Jesus) is in the (Prayer) closet...

I only know in part but the part I do know...I know...Hahaha

Being completely honest with an unbeliever or a carnal believer is the way I have chosen to go...I expressly express my belief in God...and I don't deviate and I stand!!! See I was called out by God in the very middle of my 2nd marriage...surprise surprise...I did the same thing you are doing now...Went after God!!! And still am With All of me!!! At first it was for a different reason but the outcome is the same...He will take care of that desire that is in us for Him!!! God Will...You just go after Him...what happened to me was I saw miracle after miracle...(Ummm...the call from the college?) My husband was promoted twice!!! So that we could live on what he made...I was laid off when the baby was 4 months old!!! and I really don't even think he applied for it...we never talked about it...but I know what happened...miracle after miracle...Does he give God all the glory? Nope...not yet...but there is so much hope...so many changes have taken place...I've been at it a while now and have chosen to obey The Bible this time...It's like before I knew The Truth...I could just run from trouble...well, God made sure this time I couldn't run so easy!!! Hahaha...I have chosen like Ms. Joy said in another thread what the Bible says: to stay and pray...and that's what I do...

Have I learned to keep my mouth shut sometimes? Yep...Cause ya'll have seen how it gets me in trouble sometimes...I'm still learning but it's worth it to go after God...He can turn it all around for good...That's been my experience...

Much love, Praying for you, gamnot...

Much love, stirstik...You have just entered into the very best place you could ever be...spiritually...admitting that WE...(I've already talked about how I tried to drink myself to death) can't do it on our own...Now God can enter in...Whew...And With His Great Love...There is Hope for us to go through every single thing that comes our way while we live here on this earth...I'll be praying for continued Peace...that He surround and guide you...Fill you to the uttermost with His Love...a renewed mind that knows He Is With us...through everything; that we aren't alone...and that He is our help in time of trouble...In The Name of Jesus, I pray...

I'm praying, Ms. Louise...

Still praying ...

Praying for you...
