My story with God
I grew up in home where only my mom served God. We were blessed with a wonderful mom. My mom died when I was 15 and my dad died when I was 25. I then lived with my eldest sister until I got married.
I have a wonderful husband, believe you me, If I say wonderful, then I mean it. God gave me this wonderful husband, he is my husband, he is like my mother, my father, my everything. September this year we'll be married for 14 years, 14 wonderful years. I grew up in a Lutheran Church and was once invited to the Baptist Church, 6 years back, I gave my heart to the Lord and I was baptized in the Baptised church. Still a baptist today. God took my parents away and made me a strong person.
Other stuff about me:
I am a mom of 3 kids, 2 daughters ages 13 and 8. I was sterlized after my youngest daughter. But.. let me tell you this. Our lives are in God's hands, and sometimes we do things without consulting God. And this happened to me. I was sterlized but never discussed it with God. And guess what happened, I fell pregnant, this is how God works, He works in mysterious ways. And guess what more???? I was blessed with a healthy boy, now I have 2 girls and 1 boy. My son is now 2 years. Shows you, God is in contol of our lives.

    HEALTH CARE FOR THE HEART...


    'Keep your heart with all diligence,
    for out of it spring the issues of life..'
    Proverbs 4:23

    Today's Scripture reading emphasizes the importance of caring for our heart.

    Are we keeping spiritually fit?
    WEIGHT: Do we need to lose the weight of unnecessary burdens and cares?
    PULSE: Are we maintaining a steady rhythm of gratitude and praise?
    BLOOD PRESSURE: Is our trust greater than our anxiety?
    DIET: Are we enjoying the life-giving nutrients of the Word of God?
    Have you checked your heart lately?

    To keep spiritually fit,Consult with the Great Physician...

    O Lord, You see what's in the heart...
    There's nothing hid from You;
    So help us live the kind of life..
    that's filled with love for You...Amen...

    Sylvia,
    What beautiful, happy children you have! i would love to be friends & hear more about your life. I was in So. Africa in 2005. In Rustenburg, to be exact. i was on a mission trip, but we also went on safari to take pictures. I have to laugh when the African pastors come on the chat window & say, "Good morning!" In CA.USA, it is still midnight here, when you people are having lunch or supper there! I call it TOMORROW LAND! Ha. ha! I'll never get over the wonder, that it can be a different day on the other side of the world. Isn't that amazing?! God bless you, Deborah

    Sylvia,

    Sylvia,
    Never fear being too wordy for me! Ha, ha! I love the fellowship of other believers and I love to write. I hear you about the financial hardships. My husband & i have also been tested in this area. We haven't been your typical American family. We lost our home in 02' after my husband was fired from a job he'd held for 20 years. We live in a old motor-home that the Lord brought along. For the past several months he hasn't had even handiman jobs, so no income. We've been married 34 years this August 31st. I have 3 grown children & 4 grandchildren. None of them live close to us. I also spend a lot of time in prayer. God always seems to send some can goods or something, just when we need it most. But we don't have little ones. That is so much harder! Not having food & diapers, (nappies) for your little one would be awful! I will pray for you.
    The Lord IS good all the time, even when we don't understand what He is doing. All those churches coming together to worship God & share in fellowship, how AWESOME! That must have been a wonderful, encourageing day! I'm 52 now, I'm starting to feel my age a little, esp. in the morning. But our God is a covanant keeping God, (AMEN?!) & my life is still a wonderful adventure! I will pray that the Lord will send you a special bithday blessing. Have a blessed day dear sister! Deborah
