My story with God
Four and half years ago all I wanted to do was to end my life. My middle child was an absolute nightmare, she had total control over the family especially myself. Most mornings it was a battle to get her up just to go to school, and by battle that’s just what I mean! She would physically and verbally abuse me if I dared touch her or if I dared to make a stand and be firm with her. Because my daughter attendance and attitude at school was so bad she was under about to be excluded, I sought help from the medical profession only to be told that because of her age and unwillingness to talk they couldn’t do any thing and the next time she attacked me to phone the police.
My younger daughter had become Christian. She introduce her sister to her a Christian friend youth leader, who actually fought with them declaring satan was great and the ruler of her life. This youth leader didn’t give up on my elder daughter writing to her on a regular bases and inviting her to events and activities held at their house church, I found out later that they where praying for our families salvation.
One morning after a particularly bad beating from my daughter, I had got it In my head that the only way out was to kill myself,(I had started drinking to numb the pain I felt) I heard a clear calm voice telling me I should speak to my younger daughters Christian friends, I thought to myself what could they do. The following Sunday I went to their worship meeting which was totally different from church, after the youth leader approached me asking me if I wanted to talk. Well I let everything out I had ever bottled up about my abusive past the shame i felt the way I had failed my children. It was amazing she knew things about me I had never dared tell anyone. When I had finished sharing she said the greatest way she could help me was to introduce me to Jesus. I thought is that it! how can He help, having blamed God for my life in the first place. The Christian shared her testimony with me and again said the difference in her life now was Jesus. I said ok what do I have to do. I’d give Jesus six months. That afternoon I asked Jesus to forgive me and become Lord of my life. My elder daughter walked in as I was being prayed for and hit the roof she was so angry. When we returned home she sat talking to her internet friends telling them how I had betrayed her and become one of them Christians, when one of her friends said to her they had been praying for her to find Jesus, anyway about a week later she did and now we have a beautiful relationship and God is working wonders in her live.
And as for me through God's teachings and discipline I have overcome depression, rejection, and a lot of other personality traits that satan had me believing was mine and that I couldn't do anything about it. How wrong is he.
I thank God that He loves me and that though blood of His Son, has set me free from so much, including the hatred and shame I felt about myself. With Jesus at my side I can over come all things.
And thank God for calling me and leading me to the house church with people that fully desire to live according to how Jesus walked and not allow compromise to open door ways for satan to work in our lives. I am learning the meaning of God’s true love, for if we have not got love we are nothing .
1 Corinthians 13
Other stuff about me:
I have been married for 26 years:we have 2 grown up children and a teenager.
I desire to grow closer to our Saviour Jesus Christ, by reading and obeying His word. Allowing His love to wash over me and heal me from within.
I praise God that he called me by name and placed me in a spirit filled none compromising Christian fellowship with Christians whose desire is to follow God to the full.

Megan and Mollie. ( Meg and Mol ) Chocolate labrador who's enormous and a cute very small black mongrel. They keep us active.

I wish you peace,love and much joy Sue at this most meaningful time of year. Will write to you again very soon, Lorraine

Do you realize the growth of TheNet is close to 1,000 members!!! What an awesome God thing!!!! He is soo good! I was soo scared to get online after not having a computer for 8 years. I really didnt want to "surf the Net" or anything. I just wanted email, but I somehow ran into All ABout God and I dont even remember how I did! Crazy!! Again, a God thing!!! I am thankfull that "the Times" can be a good thing, not always a bad thing. God can use the internet to reach people now!!! Gee, what a concept right? He must have taken His computer classes in High School!
    Anyway, its exciting to get a message from you, and thank you for all the compliments. I reall appreciate it!!! It encourages me and helps me keep my head up when I have "those days". So, what do you enjoy doing as a hobby?

    Hello Sue!
    How are you doing today?
    I pray that you are blessed this week and that your spirit has been uplifted in His love.
    So, I notice that you are involved in fundraisers. What type? any? I am a part of The Pregnancy Resource Center here in Salt Lake City Utah. I think its an incredible resource for Christian women who need financial assitance. This orginization does not believe in abortion of course and is fighting to ban it.
    I like the post up above titled "God can use Anyone". That is really clever. Did you write that? Its really cool.
    Well, I thought Id stop by and say hello! I pray that all is well for you and your loved ones.
    God Bless You Sister

    Hello Sue

    I have read your story amazingly i had to read it as i am in the very same situation with my daughters she also hits and abusses me in every possible way she can but i thank the Good Lord that i have not gone in any other direction than his way I know it is very difficult and hard as you feel you just want to give up .I have now resorted to a christian therapy with my girls and pray that the Lord will take control of their lives .This is my first time on this website so im not quite sure how it all works but i needed to share with you that you are not alone and no matter what we need to be strong and that is what i am doing with the help of the Lord as sthere is no other way but Gods Way.Have a blessed Day
  • Paige Robertson

    Hello Sue!!!
    I know it has been quite some time since I last wrote. I guess I let life just kind of get in the way a little bit and didnt have much time to devote to the computer. Painting, and kids just kind of take up a CHUNK of your time.
    I am having a difficult time, and in your testimony up top, I felt like you would understand. I am encountering abuse but from a 3 year old! Does that make sense? He is not a teenager yet, or a grown child, I know. But he is hitting,screaming,refusing, and is a very strong willed, "this is the way it is" type of personality. Ok, yes, I have alot of moms tell me that "This too shall pass", and that is great. I hope it does. But knowing what I struggle with emotionally because of generations of depression,anger,OCD,anxiety,addictions,and suicides, I can only fear to great extreme that he will be the same way too. Help? I dont know how to do this,Sue? But being that he is still young I guess I have a better chance at preventing anything to get worse. Please tell me Im not crazy? Please tell me my son isnt either? I just need some prayer and advice.
    Thank you sister, You are a blessing.

    If you woke up this morning
    with more health than illness,
    you are more blessed than the
    million who won't survive the week.

    If you have never experienced
    the danger of battle,
    the loneliness of imprisonment,
    the agony of torture or
    the pangs of starvation,
    you are ahead of 20 million people
    around the world.

    If you can attend a church meeting
    without fear of harassment,
    arrest, torture, or death,
    you are more blessed than almost
    three billion people in the world.

    If you have food in your refrigerator,
    clothes on your back, a roof over
    your head and a place to sleep,
    you are richer than 75% of this world.

    If you have money in the bank,
    in your wallet, and spare change
    in a dish someplace, you are among
    the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

    If your parents are still married and alive,
    you are very rare, especially in this World
    today.

    If you hold up your head with a smile
    on your face and are truly thankful,
    you are blessed because the majority can,
    but most do not.

    If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
    or even touch them on the shoulder,
    you are blessed because you can
    offer God's healing touch.

    If you can read this message,
    you are more blessed than over
    two billion people in the world
    that cannot read anything at all.

    You are so blessed in ways
    you may never even know.

    Meaningful Life
    If you’ve never asked the question
    Who or when or why or how
    Give your mind that great suggestion
    Go ahead and do it now

    You will find when you consider
    All the options that abound
    There is still but one conclusion
    Where peace of mind is found

    It’s not in education
    In religion or in books
    In retirement funds and IRAs
    Or how the market looks

    It’s not in status or in style
    How low in golf you score
    It’s not the running of a mile
    Or who you’re working for

    It’s not the price you pay for things
    It’s not the jewels and fancy rings
    It’s not the checks and credit cards
    Secured by all those guns and guards

    It’s not the beauty of your face
    It’s not a matter of your face
    It’s not the muscle on your bones
    Your classy looks or great skin tones

    What matters most in life today
    Is where you stand along the way
    Not what you have but what you are
    How faith in God succeeds by far

    God is the answer to the question
    Of the who, when, why or how
    And He gives the invitation:
    ‘TRUST IN ME AND DO IT NOW’’

    You’ll find God meets your deepest need
    With His kind words your soul He’ll feed
    He guide your steps and makes things right
    He’ll turn darkness into light…..

    I asked God…

    I asked God to take away my pain
    God said, No
    -it is not for me to take away,
    But for you to give up.
    I asked God to make my handicapped child whole
    God said, No
    -Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
    I asked God to grant me patience
    God said, No
    -patience is a by-product of tribulations,
    It isn’t granted, it is earned.
    I asked God to give me happiness
    God said, No
    -I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.
    I asked God to make my spirit grow
    God said, No
    -you must grow on your own
    but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
    I asked for all things that I might enjoy life
    God said, No
    -I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things
    I asked God to helped me LOVE others,
    as much as He loves me
    God said…..
    Ahhh, finally you have the idea.

    God loves You!

    FROM THE FULLNESS OF HIS GRACE WE HAVE ALL
    RECEIVED ONE BLESSING AFTER ANOTHER.
    ( JOHN 1:16 *NIV )

    Always remember to count our blessings each day, and to
    thank God for them! For no matter what we have, when we
    look around us, we find others who have less! So never feel
    sorry for ourself, instead start counting our blessings, for that
    should cheer u up indeed.

    Now we know that when things disappoint us, we are sad and
    often depressed. However it is written that we should: BE
    JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN
    ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU
    IN JESUS CHRIST. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 )

    Therefore, never feel that God doesn't hear our prayers
    because a prayer isn't answered the way we want, or something
    goes wrong in our life. For our Heavenly Father always knows
    what is best for us, and: HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR
    FORSAKE YOU. ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )

    So my friend, remember to always: GIVE THANKS TO THE
    LORD, CALL ON HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE
    NATIONS WHAT HE HAS DONE for you!
    ( 1 CHRONICLES 16:8 )

    In closing, MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS
    CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE
    FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL,
    now and always! Amen! ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
