keep my focus on the things of God instead of all the worldly distractions
Interests:
I am interested in being more like Christ, making in this world as a single woman after being married for 1/2 my life and then suddenly finding myself in a whole new world.
I'm passionate about...
Friends, interacting on a weekly basis, coordinating events for that particular group of singles.
My story with God
I grew up in a pastor's home, and accepted Christ at the young age of 9, but didn't really give him full control and start to grow until I was 22 years old. Since then it has been a wild journey.... He has brought me through MANY trials triumphly, not without much pain however. I have had many falls along the way, but He never ceases to amaze with his mercy and grace!
Other stuff about me:
I am in the midst of buying my first house as a single woman. I have a 19 year old daughter who is a type 1 diabetic and has been since she was 11. I also have a son who is 22 and now married to a wonderful young lady. They are young but very grounded in the Word of God. I have worked in full time ministry (Crisis Pregnancy Center) in the past, but am now employed by five physicians as their referral specialist. I have seen God open many doors for me in this area of my life. I attend a very non-traditional Baptist church and love it. I work with childcare at my church part-time as well. I stay very busy with hanging out with friends and working.
Gone through your story...sounds like you have about gone through the heart-aches of life. Christ waits for you to open a new page. Welcome to the spirit of God-Pst. Bernhard

I love psalm 139
Heavenly Father, Search me oh God and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Amen.
This has been my constant prayer for myself...especially when i am distracted by the many things in this world. God Bless you for desiring the things of God, and knowing the importance of that!

Hello Diane!!!
Welcome!! How are you today?
Im Paige, another moderator here on TheNet and I just wanted to drop in and say hello and that we are soo pleased to have you here.
Its a blessing to see so many wonderful believers in Christ come and fellowship with us from all over the world. I found this place last August, and it has greatly helped me in my walk with God. Just to know that htere are many others out there who are trying to understand and draw near God and His love.
We are all the body, so let us all reach out and help one another in this walk. I am soo glad you are here.
It sounds like you are doing well despite your trials and changes, so Praise God! I myself have been through too much to mention. Soo much that it almost sounds like I lie to people when I talk about it, but the TRUTH is, I was blind, and now I see. I was in the Pit, but God lifted me out. I tell you, I was down and out, and homeless, but thanks be to God, I have my whole life restored. I have been a Christian since 2002 and my life is completely different.
Im married now, with 2 small babies. I can only imagine how different it is being single with kids in this world now a days, but praise God you have HIM! Alot of people dont! and it seems like you have a great job, and you are involved in your church to keep busy. That is soo cool. Good for you!!!
Well, I want to talk more, but ill let u go for now. I am glad u r here sister!! Hang in there!!
God Bless
