I am looking forward to getting to know you Stephanie...enjoy the rest of the weekend

Wow Stephanie; what an awseome profile you have. You heart must being truly growing in the Spirt to do the work you do. For Jesus came not to help those who already believed in him, but to minister and teach the ones who where sinners. I am a nurse in an ICU. I have had some pts from prison on rare occasion; which they would keep police officers round the clock. My heart went out to some because of their background. I hope you will be here with us for a long time. It is glad to see you. Blessings in Jesus Christ. Mandy

Hello Stephanie!!!
I was thinking about you and thought Id check in on you to see how everything was going for you?
So how has school been going?When will you be graduating in behavior Science? That is soo cool. God has a great plan for you and your life sister!!!YOU are going to make a big difference in the world doing what you are doing. Please dont let the enemy and his lies trip you up and take you down. You are a powerful woman of the Lord! I thnk you for all that you do!!!
Also, I noticed that you said that you said that you have friends younger than you. Well to be honest all my friends are older than me because I love the great wisdom and knowledge that they carry from this gift called life. I cannot get rnough of what these precious ladies have to say! I think a degree in life is better than a degree from college books. I love to just soak up the wisdom!!
7 grandchildren!!! Wow!!! you are a great grandma I bet. What a blessing to be able to be here to hold, love and play with all these precious children!! Con grats on all these lovely gifts from the Lord!!
I thank you again for being here with us, sister!! I pray all is well!! Hope to hear from you soon!

Myspace Tuesday Graphics Hello Stephanie! May the Lord greatly bless you and the work you are doing for His Kingdom!!! You are truly a wonderful woman of faith. I admire you.. Do you wnat to share some of that faith with me? I guess being a mom of a baby and a 3 year old is wearing on me. So, here is a simple question, HOW DID YOU DO THIS?? I want godly wisdom and counsel from a woman as wise as you to help me. I wan tot be a good mom, but I also have my work to do too. I paint murals and draw fo clients etc. How do I juggle it all? Hmm. You tell me.
Anyway, I really just came over here to see how you were. I didnt mean to vent on you. Im glad you are liking it here. We like you here too. Still if there is anything I can help you with, let me know.
In Christ
Paige

God Bless my Sister Stephanie,
Just wanted to drop a note to you let you know we are not only coveting you in prayer but we are grateful to know such a blessing named Stephanie..

I must apologize but my wife and I are confused by your posting. Before God things haven't gotten worse they have in fact been better not because of us as a person rather it is because how God uses us and how the spirit directs us and how Jesus has ordered our steps. If there is obedience and submission to God then there is no such thing as getting worse. God has blessed us in many ways and I am not speaking materially either. God Blesses my wife and I with a today, He blesses us with the responsibility to our children and family ministry, He blesses us with a responsibility to our community here in North Carolina and I have shown your posting to several of my brothers and sister in Christ and respectfully agree to disagree. God is not about Chaos and nor is he the author of confusion. My blessing of a wife and do not move or assume something without bringing it to the attention of our Father and then patiently in the quiet waiting for his response reflecting and seeking his face daily. We still stand firm and believe that you are a blessing and grateful for the opportunity to pray for you. As one of my pastor mentor stated "I am my own hinderance and mind battle for as long as I choose to seek such things. But to know freedom is to know freedom in Christ Jesus." I could know nothing more or less. Would you please be more specific because the posting is not evident with who and what we are before God in Spirit and Truth. Please do tell...God Bless you mightily

Ronald and Aileen Airiana

Dear Sister God Bless you this day. Please allow me to share the Word of God with you regarding trials and I feel this is important to emphasize that even Jesus himself said (paraphrased) "Since the world hates me. It will hate you too". The scripture references are James chapter 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. and also in 1 Peter 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

In the Lord I have had to replace negative thinking and thoughts with God's Word. It real hard to do when there was no food on the table, when there was no clothes for our children, when there was no public transportation and had to leave 4 hours early just to work and get a paycheck that was minimal at best.

The bible said that I have not because I have asked not. I had little faith and I was still a wild naive and young in the Lord. No situation is any different in the Lord. God is able. Like the scripture above stated we must not doubt. Sister if there is ever a lack please dont hesitate to contact us and allow us to help. Allow us to believe for you when you can't. I was always taught that if you pray for someone and do not meet their need your religion is unpured and defiled. We may be a distance geographically but there is always mediums to bring about assistance...We love you with the Love of the Lord

Hello sister!!
I was just checking in to see how you were. I havent seen you online for a while and wanted to know if you were ok. Im doing alright I guess. Im struggling with a horrible cold, and my son is still acting up. He is in his terrible 2's at 3. Oh man, I need prayer.
Anyway, I hope all is well with you and all those children!! They keep you hoppin on your toes dont they? You are blessed. Like I said below, you must be a great grandmother!!
God Bless you sweet sister! May God continue to strenghthen and guide you each day in to all truth as you walk in Him with HIm.
God Bless you!!
Paige

Dearest Sister in the Lord,
Ronald and I must apologize for not posting as of recently. We have been busy preparing for a missions trip to India in the very near future. We have been placing you on our thoughts and asking God to open the windows of heaven with an over abundance of blessings that cannot be contained. Reflect much on his words and remain encouraged no matter what. We are still intereceding on your behalf and thanking God for you being put into our lives daily. We Love you with the love of the lord. remember remain encouraged in the Lord and in your spirit. Let nothing ever take that peace and joy of the Lord away from you. Stand firm bearing the spirit of the sword of truth drawn at all times. We will and always are your brother and sister in Christ and family of a blessed nation not of this earth but of the Kingdom of Heaven where God is exalted most high.

Ron and Aileen Ariana

We receive your prayer in the mighty name of Jesus. God Bless you always

Hello Stephanie!!!
How are you sister? I have been thinking of you and wondering how work and school is going? What you do is wonderful and what you want to do for all those struggling women is just such a blessing! please keep me updated on your progress and all the great women you have helped in re-establishing thier lives and leading them to God. They need to know that there is a hope, and a power to heal them and restore thier lives. They need to know that they are soo loved.
Well, sister, I have to go put kids to bed, but I look forward to talking with you soon!!

FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."
( ISAIAH 41:13 *NKJV )
We often face troubling times in our lives that
cause us to worry, and lose sleep. As a child of God you
have Him at your side, holding your hand, and guiding
your pathway through those times. For, THE LORD IS
GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE;
AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
( NAHUM 1:7 )
He will never abandon HIS Children, throughout
their entire lives. For He is always with us no matter
what we may face, as He further promised: WHEN YOU
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU;
AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,* THEY SHALL NOT
OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE
FIRE,* YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL
THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 )
[*Rivers and *Fire in the verse represent difficulties in our
lives]
Therefore, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT
DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL
STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 )
So the next time you face troubling times, do as Jesus
said: "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME." (JOHN 14:1)
Then WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE
AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR
SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. ( PROVERBS 3:24 )
Now have a great day walking hand and hand with God,
friend! Amen.
