Hi Melissa,

Greetings and Blessings! This is Carla, one of TheNET moderators here. Welcome to this wonderful family of Jesus followers! We're glad you are here.

Praise God! Simply enough...when we do surrender our lives to HIm, we discover all that He is, and His love for us, and more than that, we get to have a relationship with The God of the universe...the Great I AM! Wow! How do we even know how to speak of such a privledge! Beautiful..thank you for sharing that!

I have included some of our links to help you with navigation around the site. I hope you will find them to be helpful!

Please be sure to check out the Genesis Group and visit the Links for Growth forum for great tips on how to grow in Christ.

I also want to invite you to join our Bible study, In the Beginning: a study in the book of Genesis to help you know God better and grow in Him! You can click here to join the study.

Please let me know what questions you have. Once again, thanks for joining TheNET. I hope you make lots of good friends here and continue to grow in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord!

I look forward to getting to know you!
God Bless! Carla/NET moderator

Hello Melissa! Welcome!
My name is Paige,another moderator here on TheNet. I just wanted to stop in and say hello too and that it is soo awesome that you have decided to join us as we grow in the love of Jesus and share Him with others.

I know that this site will bless you and encourage you as you walk daily in HIm. God is soo good and He will never leave us nor forsake us. Whatever we do and wherever we go, we cannot escape the love of our God that surpasses all understanding. It is an honor to have you here to share your walk with god and what He has done for you.
Is ee that those good ole doctors gave you the idea that you couldnt have kids too huh? Well, gee what happened to you is what happened to me. They said I couldnt, so I didnt planon having any kids. Until I surrendered to Him in 2002. I had my son December 2004. Hmm. Those doctors are pretty good huh? Anything is possible with God if it is His will. Sometimes I think to myself," Now why did He entrust these kids to me?" but all in all He really thought I could handle it. I just have to trust. So how old are your kids? I have a now 3 year old boy, and a 8 month old girl. Both are good kids. My son definately had the terrible twos soo bad I thought he would never get over it, but with patience, he did.
As far as what I "do" for a living, I am a mom and an artist. I am home with my kids, but I also take them onsite to paint if I have to . Im a painter too. I do murals and faux finishing.(decorative finishing).
I used top be a front desk clerk for an advertising company a while ago too. before that i was an account executive for a printing company. Now with God and 2 kids, I just couldnt do that anymore. God had other plans.
Anyway, make sure you check out all our great groups and discussions that you can participate in. Its a great way to get rducated on certain topics and meet other Christians and thier views from all around the world.
Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you need any help with anything. I am your sister and friend. We are unified as the body of Christ so let us help oneanother.
God Bless!!!
Paige

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I will be back soon to update! Blessings, Melissa

Hello Melissa! I'm from KY too! If you ever want to talk, you're more than welcome to write me. I came here to grow closer/stay in touch with God (by talking with others who want to get/stay close to him like I do). I think it's good to talk with other believers. I haven't been a member that long, but it's good to know that when you are talking with someone, and you want to say something nice, you know you can...because they have God in their hearts and on their mind, just like you. It feels good! At the end of the day, I like to come here to see if I have any new comments and I surf around the site to get encouragement and to renew. So where do you work? I work for the State in Frankfort. Although, tomorrow is my last day for two months! I'm getting ready to be a mom unexpectedly, but it was a good surprise. I hope I'm ready! I'm scared and excited. I'm not due until the 26th of this month but thought I would take a week to straighten up the house, and give some special attention to my pups because they might not get the loves mommy is used to giving them for just a little bit. If you want to chat, write me anytime! God Bless YOU! ~ Angela
