I'm here to...
Continue my journey. To learn, share and strengthen my relationship with God.
I'm passionate about...
My life, for the first time.
My story with God
Though I have always believed in God I've never really had much of a relationship with him. That all changed a couple of months ago. After having gone through a very difficult past year I found myself feeling alone with no one to turn to for support, so I decided to turn to God. I had no idea how much my life would change from such a seemingly simple decision.
Having come from a somewhat "anti-religous" background I have not really felt like I could share this with anyone, until now...
Other stuff about me:
I have a beautiful 4 year old daughter who is the reason I am working so hard to be a better person.

    I believe that God is bringing all of us who are going through this together so we may lean on each other. Isn't amazing how by just accepting Jesus as our savior, how much our lives can truly change. I am amazed at how much I have changed in just a short amount of time. I am a much better person and mother now. My divorce is still in the first stages. I truly believe that God is not going to let my divorce happen. I pray for our husbands, I hope that they find the salvation of Jesus Christ and He direct their foot steps back to where they truly belong with their wives and children. I am having such a hard time dealing with him being with another woman and exposing our children to their relationship but I know that God will not give us more than we can bear. I have peace knowing that in the end God will somehow strengthen our marriage through this situation. I don't know how but that is how God stretches our faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it." Romans 8:24-25 These two scriptures have gotten me through doubts and has strengthened my faith. God bless you and thank you for reaching out to me.....

    Dear Magnolia,
    Hello my new friend,. I have a four year old son. I also have a 15 month old.
    I have struggled with depression for a LONG time. I have been here on AAG for a LONG time. Anyone here who knows me will tell you that I know alot about it. (Well I am a little crazy). But CRAZY for Jesus!!

    This is Paige, another moderator here on TheNet, and Im very blessed to have you join our community of believers, as we grow in the love and wisdom of our Lord . Its soo neat to meet new friends here from all around the world . You will find TheNet a safe place to get to know other believers and share your love and life in Christ.
    I really like it here because its a great online source of Christian information,and fellowship. When I find it hard to get out of the house or hard to get to church, I get online and get "filled" with His word and all the other believers and thier prayers. Its soo good to know that when Im hurting there are others that are too and in need of the same love and support I do from the Lord. Praise God for His work on the Cross!!! We are all one body now and can work together to heal and help other members.

    Also, Id like to invite you to come over and visit us in the Womens Group where women from all ages and all walks of life come to encourage and be encouraged to help, and be helped, to share thier wisdom with other women , and get prayer that we all need as women to continue in our faith and the path God has set before us all.
    I hope to "see" you often and I would love to get to know you more as we walk this faith. Im your friend, and if I can help or answer any questions for you, Im here.
    God Bless you, Magnolia!I cant wait to get to know you more.

    I paint murals for a living and this is one of them. Fun huh?? This one was painted at a Calvary Chapel here in Utah. Itwas the "creation room" and it was one of the kids rooms. It was fun. Pictures just dont do my paintings justice!!

    Hello Magnolia,
    How are you??
    How is your daughter doing? So, is she in preschool yet? Have you considered homeschool and what are your thoughts on it? I dont know what to do, Im torn. I want the best for my kids so it is tough to decide. Things are alot different than when I went to school. Alot different. How old are you? I am 36 years old and feeling like an old lady with 2 cihildren to chase around. I have 2 herniated disks and so if IM not careful, Ill get hurt and having a hurt back really sucks!! So, are you a stay at home mom? or do you work? Tell me more about yourself. YOu are soo awesome and you seem to be a very loving and compassionate woman who is really trying. Praise God!!!
    Hope to see you later!!

    Thank you for the message. I do struggle with depression. In fact I am having a really bad day, so I am glad that you understand how I feel. You would never be a downer to me. I would love to be there for you anytime. I am not perfect, but I have been through alot and know alot about life. I get soo frustrated with people that dont know much about depression and they label people who have it as if they are really crazy or something. So, it is good that you are talking to me becasue I know what it is like. Without God, I cannot do anything at all. I have no strength, no peace, and no patience without his spirit in me.
    Thank you for the compliments. I dont think Im that pretty, but thanks anyway. I really appreciate your positive comments. I have been sick alot too and it has driven me nuts! I get physically sick, and then I get emotionally sick along with it, so I understand that it is a constant battle. We are chosen by God and we are free. We have a special calling in our lives and the enemy is trying soo hard to trip us up. He is attacking me more than ever because IM abaout to paint some murals for a church. He has got me in a chokehold now and cannot barely breathe. He will do that to you. Lets keep in touch and pray for one another regularly. We need it. Ok? Please feel free to tell me anything you want to. Im here, ok??
    I love you
    Paige

    Hello Magnolia~
    How are you? Im just checking in on you~
    Lord, please show your plan and your will for her life Lord, that you would encourage her in her trials and put a peace in her heart that overwhelms her with joy. Lord, help her understand that trials will come, but that you have overcome them all making us victorious in You. Lord, thank you for your grace,mercy and unconditional love. Its hard to understand it sometimes, but you know that and have grace on that. It doesnt matter how we feel, because you will never leave us no matter what. Thank you Lord, you are wonderful. Thank you for Christian friends and family. In Jesus name, Amen.

    hello, magnolia. nice to meet you.
  • Paige Robertson

    Hello friend!
    How are you? Well, I shouldnt ask that question because you just told me. I am soo sorry that you are feeling this way. I know the feeling very well. I have it often unfortunately. Its hard to explain. It just feels terrible I guess thats the best way to explain it. You dont have to try to explain any more to me. Honey, I understand. It is frustrating that I go through those days where I feel like dying, then I have those days that life isnt too bad. Its like a rollercoaster! Im on medication and have been all my life. I am on a pretty good "mix" I guess you could say. I have been taking these for 4 years now. I even took them when I was pregnant. I also go see a therapist once in a while when things are really bad, but not that often.
    I totally know that God was the one that has healed me the most and has delivered me from the pit of death. I have come a long way, but I have a long ways to go. You are not alone in this walk of faith. if I can help you, or give you any advice, Id love to. Just vent on me all you want!!! Im all yours! That is what sisters are for!!! Praise God for sisters!!
    Anyway, I love you, and please take care of yourself, and give yourself a break. You are doing fine. i love you for you. and God loves you for you. He made you!!

    Hello Magnolia!!
    Blessings to you this day!!!
    Read Isaiah 40:28-31
    Isaiah:508-10. I was just reading the bible and thought that these would help you out. I love them. I dont feel like im alone and helpless. YOu and I are finite beings. God is infinite. We dont have a clue as to how much He loves us and how He intimately loves us and knows us. Yes, I wish He would just take all the pain away, but I have to trust or Ill go crazy. Alot has to change for me in order to be the mother I want to be. Oh Lord, help me!! I cry out to you Oh my Lord! I need you and your divine power to be who you want me to be and to do what you want me to do!! Thank you Jesus for your prescence in my life!! I praise you!!
    I love you and I pray that you are getting the love and help that you need. I am here for you and will help you every step of the way. Ok??? God Bless!!!

    IM soo sorry to bug you, but I am just worried that things arent going good for you. be encouraged that God does car and He does see what is going on. You may not feel like He is but He is working on your bealf. he wants to bless you not hurt you. By allowing trials to happen in your life it will grow you and get you closer to Him. Growing pains hurt!!! I have ahd a few of those the last couple of months. U r not alone. Im here for you. Please check in and tell me how its going. Ok?? love you!!

  • Paige Robertson

    Hello!!
    How are you?? I have really been thinking about you alot!!!! How are you feeling? How is your daughter? I cant wait to see pictures of you and your family.
    You have been on my heart. I sure hope everything is ok. You are soo blessed to be here and the Lord has blessed you with His strength to reach out for help and fellowship. Each day that we get up in the morning, it is a new day to start over and live the life God has for us. he is faithful and just to forgive us of all our sins if we confess them. I sin,everyone sins,daily. But the gift of salvation is exactly that. A GIFT. A FREE GIFT. We didnt get it by works lest anyone should boast. I know people that boast about all they do for God, but inside they are lost and empty. Just know that God loves you no matter what. I have struggled the last few days. That is why I havent been in that great of contact with you or anyone for that matter. i kind of disapeared. Sorry, you were in my heart though. I never forget my most closest friends in Christ. You and all the rest are like my family. I dont have that much of a family here in the flesh, but I know I do in Christ. Thank you for being my friend, and getting back to me just to let me know that you are ok. I was soo blessed to hear from you. You are soo wonderful. Seriously, I can tell that you have a real heart for the Lord and getting the healing you need.
    Anyway, please email me again. I have soo much to talk to you about!!! I would love to catch up with you and see how your valentines day was and your weekend.
    Love you!!

    HAVE A GIGGLE FOR A CHANGE.

    A lesson to be learned From typing the wrong email address!!!!

    A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where They spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.



    The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.


    Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He had been a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email, expecting messages from relatives and friends.


    After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. Her son rushed into the room, found his mother on the Floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

    To: My Loving Wife
    Subject: I've Arrived
    Date: October 16, 2005

    I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here
    now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just
    arrived and have been checked in.
    I've seen that everything has been
    prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
    Looking forward to seeing you then!!!!
    Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

    P.S. Sure is hot down here!!!!

    i got this from the AAG forum.
  • felixpadua

    by the way, how are u and your beautiful daughter?
  • Paige Robertson

    Hello sweetheart,
    Thank you soo much for all your messages you send me. Its hard nowadays to keep in touch because life gets really crazy. it almost seems as if it can get to be too much. I have had a few rough times this month, but I usualy do. Its suring those rough times that God gets me back in check with how Im really walking with Him. Am I trusting Him? Am I listening to Him? Am I letting go of the things that I hurt me and giving them to Him? He likes to get me thinking...you know. So I guess when trouble comes, we can somewhat rejoice because we know that God allowed it to draw us closer to Him because He wants to be closer to us. He tests us to see whereour heart is. And, believe me, I have found out that my heart isnt right with my mother alot of the time. I ask God for forgiveness, and try to love her the way she is, but every time I see her she likes to cut me to pieces. Oh, it hurts. Ill never be good enough for her and i need to accept that and move on. Well, anyway, I look forward to hearing from you more. Please send me some pictures of you and oyur daughter, ok???? God Bless!!!
