I promised God to change and asked if he would protect my family. I have not been perfect but hold to the promise I made. My son is OK and he is named in honor of one of God's best followers. Quoting: icitalldou Father I thank you for their life and I pray your name is glorified for your mercy and love. Me too! I should have died 2 times. That’s great you found your love, and have a son. Some people never experience these blessings. You truly are blessed. Hold onto this love and these experiences and extend Gods love, grace, peace, and charity everywhere you go. And hope! Don’t forget hope! God bless you I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people . -GOD |

You are never alone as long as you open the communication with God. Ask, and you shall receive. I am blessed with another day each day I wake up. That is enough for me. God allows me to live and experience this thing called life. Quoting: Deep1111 Life is pretty epic If we have the right lens It’s also dark and void If we have the lens of the world God is always there. I agree 100 percent. And we go through ups and downs. But God remains the same. Each new day is a new blessing What will we make of the day is up to us and inner guidance by prayer with God. God bless! I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people . -GOD |

(OP) User ID: 84555992 United States 12/02/2022 12:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I grew up in Church, Christian home, early Christin school etc. In high school to into college I went my own way like many do at that age ( drugs, drink etc ) but thanks to mom and dad following Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. I did return... Quoting: Soundman But, it took a crisis for me to return. Thank God for that Crisis! At 25 I found myself at my lowest point in life to that point, I found myself in my bed, curled up in the fetal position having no idea how I would face tomorrow then I looked on my wall and I witnessed a perfect cross of light. Now what I was seeing was an outside streetlight shining through my blinds that made a perfect Cross projected on my bedroom wall. Perhaps that Cross had been on that wall every night from the time that Condo was built but I never noticed it, but when I opened my eyes not knowing how I would face tomorrow I was looking at a Cross in the dark on my wall. That was my Miracle, something perhaps easy to explain perhaps not but was MY Miracle, me opening my eyes at the lowest, most alone point in my life and seeing the Cross! The next day I made some big changes in my life and started once again my walk with my Lord Jesus Christ. About 5 years later and had another huge life crisis and had no idea once again how I would make it another day and as I posted before I had what I believe was an Angel walk up to me at work and share Scripture that once again insured me God was with me! Im now in my late 50's and looking back over my life I can so clearly see how at the absolute worst times in my life my Lord was always with me, at every turn and every step. Such wonderful loving Grace I have been given all of my life even when I was not walking with him, He was walking with me! I too wish and Pray others could understand and share the Grace I have been given all of my life. I think so many people are given this grace but can't or won't see it. That Grace may already be right in front of you, in my case a streetlight projected on my wall in the form of a Cross at that perfect time I needed to see a Cross! I think that Cross was always on my wall from the day I moved in ( perhaps not ) but I had to open my eyes and see it, then make some changes. I am TRULY BLESSED beyond measure. THANK YOU MY LORD JESUS Christ! This was one awesome testimony. Thank you! This inspired me. I felt stronger within after reading this. It doesn’t matter if the cross was there every day. Or just that night with the perfect street light to make that cross on your wall. You saw it when you needed to see it And it was a sign in my opinion that all you need to do is open your eyes and Jesus is right there with you. always. And always has been. And always will be. His sacrifice on that cross is why we have redemption. God bless you and thanks again for sharing I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people . -GOD |

(OP) User ID: 84555992 United States 12/02/2022 12:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | since I was a little child (Mom, grandma, and great-grandma) all told me I believed in God that was strange for such a little child, maybe 3. By the time I was 6, I begged to be baptized and had to get special permission where the preached asked me questions to know if I truly knew what I was doing. By 13 I was filled with the HS. Quoting: WhiteAngel Then my 20's came along and thought I still believed, I had strayed. By my mid 30's I was back and though there have been very hard times (some that are still ongoing horribly hard), I have managed to stay. 63 now and know that things are never going to be easy and my faith isn't always 100%, but most of the time I do try. I am so sorry I missed this post. :( That’s a great attitude you have. Try is good. If you fall down. Get back up again. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Jesus wept at the Garden. He had sorrow when Martha brother died. He asked God why did he forsake him on the cross. It was just moments of human Jesus experiencing human life and human emotions. So if he had these experiences. We too will have sorrow and doubt and cry painful tears. But there’s also amazement. Like when Jesus was in awe of the Israeli soldier and his servant. So Jesus knows exactly what we are going through If your faith wavers. It’s okay. I have my faith waver too. Just please still try to trust God. And some say that doesn’t make sense. How can you trust God but lose faith. It makes sense to me. God bless you! I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people . -GOD |

When my best friend for 48 years died, my mother (we never lived apart. When I married, my husband moved in with us and they were great friends), I went thru 3 months of being so angry at God. I even said there was no such thing as God because the God I had loved would let a good Christian woman suffer the way she had. 3 months and the grief and angry settled and I asked for forgiveness which I know He gave since he gave us all those emotions of grief, anger being a big one. But it was the months that followed that were hard. I grieved hard for a year while trying to be a good mom for a 7 year old and 9 year old, trying to be a good wife and going through the change. I ran on faith for I didn't feel God inside me and the hole in my heart missing my mom, well it was a very very hard year. I once again feel God and have for awhile now, though it is different, maybe more mature now after all these years. Faith is there just sometimes more than other times. We are human and we all have our doubts. Guess what, doubting is an emotion that God also gave to humans. Every feeling we were created with.

We are human and we all have our doubts. Guess what, doubting is an emotion that God also gave to humans. Every feeling we were created with. I’m sorry you lost your mother. Like you said not only is she your mom but also your best friend. Honestly I don’t know how I would handle losing my parents but it seems like it’s very traumatic to go through such a loss. My heart goes out to yours. God knows why you got angry. He understands. I believe God loves humans because we are resilient. We still praise even in great doubt or sorrow. Or if we don’t praise we have reasons and God understands. I have had years where I didn’t talk to God. But he was still right there. Waiting for me to return. And of course he guided me through other people to return also. 3 months is good. I might have gone three years without a hello to God. Grieving is a normal process. I’m happy you got through that year. I hope you have wonderful memories of your mother. Your children and your husband are blessed to have you. Also, I’m glad you see God is with you again Last Edited by Seekingtruthandhonor on 12/02/2022 01:18 PM I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people . -GOD |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79977371 United States 12/02/2022 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My fiancé has had pancreatitis twice and ovarian cancer twice. Her ovary got to the size of a bowling ball but the cancer was still encased in the ovary. All doctors said she was just getting fat until finally they found it!They took out one ovary and the cancer didn’t spread and they said she could never have a child. The next day we found out she was pregnant . After we had my son she had 1 last period and that was that. She had a hysterectomy later to take out the other cancerous ovary is it had grown during pregnancy. My son is 10 now. God knows better than the smartest doctors… trust and know that it’s ok to not know God’s plan for your life. Also, before she got pregnant she wasn’t a believer. She told me that she wanted to truly see a sign from God that He’s real. The big man delivered! |
