- I'm passionate about...
- Jesus,My Family, People, LOVE, Kindness,Peace and learning to be thankful in everything and leaning more on God. I really am striving to understand what it means to be a child of the most high God. I am passionate about being compassionate and reaching out to lost souls and to those who are broken and lost. I want to be a true servant of God in all that I do (daily) and a true follower of Christ.
- My story with God
- *This is hard to sum up in one box and my story is not complete, but until now this is how it has been*
God has always been a part of my life. I can remember being a small child and feeling his presence in the field & woods where I spent most of my time. I was also raised Catholic and delighted in learning about him. My mother spent some time teaching us the importance of Jesus, but I never truly understood that I could know him on a personal level. As a teen, I strayed due to many hurts in my life at that time, I became confused and longed to know the truth. I explored many different religions and never felt peace with any of them.
But.....
God always led me back to him, no matter how far I strayed.I would feel Him tugging on my heartstrings and I would occasionally visit different churches seeking him.
I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am to HIM for my life. For alot of my adulthood I abused alcohol and focused on only the negative aspects of my life. I would cry out to him to save me from my terrible habits but it wasn't until I had nothing left of myself to love or take comfort in that I realized I absolutely NEEDED him.
This past winter after desperately seeking Him I found him once again, he showed me my sins the way he saw them and I found myself on my knees in total despair for what I had done.(living apart from him for so long) I begged his forgiveness and humility carried me back to that cross. In a instant I knew that he was my CREATOR/Father and I his creation/child, I felt so much love and peace, and finally reborn. I now no longer crave alcohol and I choose to focus on the positive. Sometimes my old self likes to creep in and remind me of those past hurts or even present ones, I am learning (and also by everyone here) that I need to always trust God and surrender everything to him.
I do not look to the world any longer for gratification, only Jesus. I am constantly searching my heart to make sure I am living out his will. Life is tough, and this path a narrow one, but NOTHING could ever lead me off of it again, I am here to finish this race. I give all the glory to God.
Praise Jesus our Glorious King!! My God my one and only Maker, my Father, my Savior, my Redeemer, my Restorer, my Rebuilder, my Rewarder- I give Him all the Praise!!! amen. - Other stuff about me:
- I am a mom to my two beautiful daughters, Hannah and Sophie, my gifts from God. They have taught me how to laugh and be silly again. To dream and love unconditionally. Being a mother has shown what true love is and I know this is how God must feel towards us. Perhaps this is why God gave them to me, as I had a hard time understanding what love really was, before I had my children.
I also looove to read, write and listen to and play music (guitar) I love learning about Gods Holy word and being out in nature. I love to swim (it reminds me of being a kid and it makes me feel free) and relax by the lake. I love great conversations and to laugh ALOT.My fiance makes me laugh everyday!! I am getting baptized this summer and I am very excited. I long for the day when I can see my makers face again.(I had a dream once when I was fifteen, where Jesus came to me and held out his hand and asked me to take his hand and follow him-I did and I felt pure bliss, happiness,love, like fireworks lol) a *feeling* I had never or have never felt. Anyways it seemed very real and I sometimes wonder if it was.... either way I do long for that day and I pray that many of my family members who are unsaved will see his face too.
and thats about it for now.

HELLO SARAH!!!!!I am sooo happy that I finally heard back from you! Oh, man! I was soo scared thet you were mad at me or that you werent doing good. I have had a bit of a rocky life the last few months, but it worked out ok because the Lord lead me to get off AAG and concentrate on the things that I needed to focus on. He always works in mysterious ways. I have had some real emotional ups and downs, but I have to remember that no matter what I "feel" like, Gods feelings do not change for me and His mercy endures forver! I need all the mercy and grace I can get daily. You are not alone in your struggles. I have to remind myself that I am not alone either. I do this by regularly attending church and serving in one ministry or another. I also try to attend a womens group or bible study each week. No, I dont always "feel" like it, but if I make myself go, I feel soo good!!! You will too. I have gone through my times of withdrawl, b ut God always at some point gave me the strength to go back and be involved. I encourage you to go back to church just to be around other Christians. If there are Christians that act like they have no problems, they are probably full of it!!! We all have problems! Anyway, I love you my sister!! I am soo happy Im back! Lets keep in touch all the time,ok???

Sarah, Rely on the Lord. Surrender to Him. It is the only way. He is the only Savior...there is no one else! Only Jesus! Do not rely on people...people can't save you....People can talk to you, support you and pray with you...But only Jesus can save you! Everything that needed to be done for our full Salvation...including here now on earth has already been done. Jesus said "IT IS FINISHED".
Heavenly Father,
I lift Sarah up to You Lord. Lord I just lay her at Your feet. I pray that your blood would wash over her Lord and cleanse her. Draw her to yourself. Lord I pray that Sarah will be encouraged that you are always with her...You have never left her side. Lord, if there is any unforgiveness in Sarah's heart please reveal it to her so that she may repent of that unforgiveness and ask for Your forgiveness. Lord, I thank you that You have given us eachother here on earth, so that we may always have a prayer partner. Father, anxiety is so dibilitating..I pray that You would release her from the strongholds of this torment Lord ..in Jesus name...i pray for Sarah to be healed. Thank you Father for hearing our prayer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Joy sometimes needs pain to give it birth.
Read the book of Philippians. Also, remember what fear really is.

God Does Not Make Mistakes
Author: Lara L. O’Brien, She Speaks Graduate
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Genesis 1:27 (NIV)
Devotion
Have you ever felt like one of those toys from the Land of the Misfit Toys in “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer?” Boy, I sure have! Growing up, an overwhelming sadness haunted me. Inferiority and worthlessness were constant companions and I wondered if God had been sleeping on the job when He created me. Those feelings manifested themselves in a deep depression.
By the time I was a teenager, anorexia consumed me and I was determined to destroy myself. Because my life felt so out of control I needed something I could control. In my case, it was what I did or did not put in my mouth.
Years spent in my anorexic prison molded my self-image into one of self-hatred. Why would anyone want to be with me? Why am I here? Do I even want to live anymore? These were just a few of the questions that constantly bounced around in my head. Feeling like a square peg in a round hole, I quite honestly wanted to die. The pain of day-to-day living was so hard for me.
Despite being surrounded by amazing family and friends who loved me, I believed many things that were not true. I whole-heartedly believed I was a mistake. I believed I could get the affirmation I desired from guys, most whom were abusive towards me. I believed I was worth nothing and deserved the hits, scratches, and horrible, hateful words. I thought they were my rightful punishment.
Growing up I believed something else too…I believed in God. But did I believe Him? Did I believe all His wonderful promises were meant for me personally? Did I believe God could love me when I was such an absolute mess?
After years of depression, suicide attempts, abusive dating relationships, and starvation, I had an encounter with my Savior. I met God with my pain and messy, mixed-up life and He met me with His love and acceptance. He showed me I was His child, made in His own image. The Lord also led me to an amazing Christian counselor. Revisiting my painful past through counseling was a hard journey, but well worth it. I felt God’s infinite healing and love for me, and for the first time I began to believe that God had a plan and a purpose for my life.
The Lord is now using my life and experiences for His good. I have a passion to minister His healing and love through written and spoken words to those who suffer or have suffered as I did. How about you? Are you hurting? Do you feel worthless and like you do not matter? Please don’t. You are not a misfit toy.
A friend once told me that if God had a refrigerator, my photo would be on it. Your picture would too! God loves you so much and created you in His beautiful image. His Word says you are made with love. Choose today to believe it.
Dear Lord, I pray for those who are hurting and who believe that they do not matter. Please meet them in the middle of their pain, and shower Your love and affection over them. Thank You that You created all of us in Your wonderful image. You never make mistakes. We praise You for that. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

I am so Praising God that you are being brought closer to Him through all of this..He will strengthen you as you wait upon Him...Isaiah 40:31
The Lord will never give you more than you can handle.
Things are going well for me....Life is a rollercoaster ride...Definately! I am training myself to hand everything over to God...lay it all at the feet of Jesus, there is so much freedom in that.
The enemy knows our weak points, anywhere he has gotten in in our past...and he will look for every opportunity (an open door) to get in again..to discourage us...beat us down..etc...
That is why we must relly fullly on God and just hand it all over to Him.
Are you playing your Praise and Worship music? That will help also to lighten your spirit...

My kids had a disagreement tonight...and I am looking for scripture to 'feed' to them in the morning.. They did sort their disagreement before going to sleep though...
I am so Praising God right now....Be sure to respond on your post in the forum so others will know that you are on the way up!
Lots of Love, Carla...ps---you can still call me.

Romans 4:18
Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping-believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, "That's how many descendants you will have!"
Sarah, we have God's promises in the bible, which we have unlimited access to. Study them, pray thanks for them and receive them. They are for you. As you truly believe that the bible is God's Word, you will have no problem accepting those promises for yourself. Know of His Sovereignty.
The Lord Our Maker
January 16, 2009
"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker." (Psalm 95:6)
Psalms 95-100 seem to form a unit with several common themes running through them, all involving praise to the Lord. One of these major themes is the recognition of the Lord as Maker of heaven and earth. For example, consider Psalm 95:5. "The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land." Thus, God made the earth, including both land and sea. But He also made the heavens! "For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens" (Psalm 96:5). Higher and far more complex than any planet of the solar system or any star in the heavens, are the living organisms found only on planet earth--especially human beings--and He made these too. "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture" (Psalm 100:3). It is significant that these verses all emphasize the activities of God as Maker, rather than as Creator. In the first chapter of Genesis, both types of activity are stressed, the account finally concluding with the summary: "All his work which God created and made" (Genesis 2:3). The two types of work are almost synonymous when referring to the divine activity, but not quite (otherwise "created and made" would be redundant). Specifically, the three acts of true creation in Genesis are the creation of the physical elements of the cosmos, the entity of biological life, and the spiritual image of God in man (Genesis 1:1, 21, 27). These entities God simply called into being, ex nihilo, by His omnipotent Word. Everything else He made, or formed or let be, out of the three basic entities that were specially created. He is both Creator and Maker of all things, and we should worship Him as such. HMM

I praise God for His faithfulness to you, O He is Awesome and Holy and Good, I love this scripture so much and especially when I am feeling down,"bless the Lord o my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's, Psalm 103:1,2,3,4,5. God bless you!!!!!!

Hello sister,Gee you are making a big comeback. Look at all these wonderful and inspiring messages you are getting. See, we all still love you!
I really wanted to keep in contact with you and didnt want to lose you, but I figured that you had alot going on, so I prayed that maybe youd come back around someday. I went through some "stuff too". You arent alone! But I understand how you feel. Its hard not to think you are alone. It is a dark,lonely,dreary feeling and you think there is no way out. Right? Well, I really dont know what you have been going through but Im just assuming that its similar to what I go through as per our conversations last year. I felt a connection to you and was sad that you left. I am blessed to see you back. If you rather, you can email me on my other email address. My IM is paige_art@hotmail.com. Oh, sorry, did I already give you that???...Sorry! See, Im such a ditz!
Soo much has happened in my life that the Lord has done and allowed to take place. I have had to do alot of growing up in the past few months. Growing pains hurt when you are walkiong in Christ, but it must happen to learn to be a stronger faith filled Christian. I have had my share of disapointments, yet a good amount of blessings in my life. Isnt that how God works? If you are going through a trial, there is always a blessing on the other side. Sometimes it takes a day,a week,amonth,or a year, but it will happen. We can do this together. Hand in hand lets run the race to win girlfriend!! because we are worth it!! I love you and cant wait to see more of you. I want to talk to you soo bad that I can taste it! I miss you and pray that you are doing alright. and tell me about your children. How are they???
God Bless you,sister.
In Him,

1Jo 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.
1Jo 5:2 We know we love God's children if we love God and obey his commandments.
1Jo 5:3 Loving God means keeping his commandments, and really, that isn't difficult.
1Jo 5:4 For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory.
1Jo 5:5 And the ones who win this battle against the world are the ones who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
Sophie is so cute! What a sweetheart... God Bless her heart.. :)
Remember each negative thought gets handed over to Christ immediately...Then thank Him for taking it. Praise and Worship always. You are blessed that your husband likes Christian music, you can listen to it freely in your home. Praise God for that.. :)
Thank you so much for your prayers... I will keep you all in my prayers also.

..I had a realization tonight. You mentioned how strong i am.... Surely you know it is not my Strength but the Lord's...
My realization though....is that the more I pour my life out for others, the stronger I become. People have often said to me...how come you don't often ask for advice... I hadn't really noticed that, sometimes I do...mostly I just talk to God about it though. Then I offer all that He gives me to others...and they in turn are blessed. I am boasting In HIS goodness..not my own. ...Have you read my profile :).....
Lots of Love and Stand Strong...armor on.

How are you doing today??
I havent heard from you and was wondering how you were doing today. I pray that the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will fill your heart and mind with peace and wisdom. The more Im in His word, the more I see and feel Him trying to help me. Ther eis always something He wants to say. You just need to be really quiet and listen. But sometimes the enemy likes to attack and all of the sudden youll get a negative thought, or the phone will ring,or a dog will bark or this or that.... it is hilarious, yet it sucks when you are in deep meditation. Another problem I have is that I put way too much time and pressure in caring what others think of me. I want to be loved and accepted by all, but it doesnt work that way I have found. The most important person is the Lord and his love. Its hard because iM a touchy feely kind of girl. Its all about how I feel, not based on truth. You and I need to really think about what we are thinking about!!! Dont we? We are not going to love a successful life without successful thinking. and no man or woman can make us feel better or successful except for God. I depend on my husband too much I think, and I end up talking to everyone else except him and God and that i sno good!!! I have learned decernment inj all things. I even have to be careful here too. We are alot alike in this. Once we stat something, and we like it, we get addicted. Next thing you know, you cant keep up with the "jones's" and you end up burned out and stressed out. Am I being real or what??? You have to be careful my friend, anywhere at any time. That is why I dont get online that much. IM trying self control. Its hard, but so far so good. Now that you are back, Ill stick around here a little more!!
Love you

I am praying for you and sooo glad that you are going to fast soon, praise God. It must be the Holy Spirit that is leading me to tell you this. You are saved and there is no doubt about it and the devil can not get to your soul so he is trying hard to mess with your thoughts, but I declare now that he is a loser and you are bought with a price, it costed Jesus His blood to purchase you and what Jesus bought can not be sold cheap, you are redeemed and bought with the precious blood of Jesus. He paid for you my sister and you are very precious to HIM.
What helps me a lot is the Word of God, remember when Jesus was in the wildreness, satan came to tempt Him and Jesus answered him only with the Word.
I declare now that no weapon that is formed against you will prosper and every tongue that rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. I declare that you are bought with the precious blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus is bigger and better than any attacks on you and higher than any name.
I encourage you to check this preacher on the internet and he is on TBN too, I do not remember the time but I believe he comes on sunday, his name is Jensten Franklin, he is very good and big on fasting and he has a book you can get in barnes and nobles or on his website. Sarah, I trust God that you are going to be ok and God might use you to help others with the same thing you are going through. I love you and God bless you. You can count on me for prayers anytime.

BIGGER TURKEY-
A woman walks into a butcher's shop just before closing time and asks, "Do you have any turkey?"
The butcher opens his fridge, takes out his only turkey and puts it on the weighing scales. It weighs six pounds.
The woman looks at the turkey and at the scales and asks, "Do you have one that's a bit bigger than this one, please?" The butcher puts the turkey back into the fridge and then takes it out again, but this time when he puts it on the scales he keeps his thumb on the turkey. The scales now show eight pounds.
"That's wonderful," says the woman. "I'll take both of them, please!"
(Ha ha ha.... gotcha butcher!)

Please "WIN the 10/40 WINDOWS" for JESUS CHRIST.
The 10/40 Windows (located between 10 - 40 degrees North of Equator - between West Africa to East Asia) need Missionaries, have no church at all, and there live about 40 percent of the world population. INDONESIA, my country is in the 10-40 windows though we have churches. Let's get on our knees, praying hand in hand with me for their revival. I look forward to the day when the Lord who I kneel to worship will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord.
Thank you so very much
