My story with God
I was saved in my 30's and now I am in my 60's. I have loved the Lord all my life as a new creature in Christ. Love his word, studying the bible and bible studies. I love listening to tapes that will help me grow and go to bible studies that enhance my learning experience.
At the end of the month I am heading to Atlanta, GA. to hear Beth Moore, Kay Arthur and Priscilla Shirer and meeting up with three girlfriends. I am truly looking forward to this. Just having moved and found a dynamic church which excites me is just another blessing in my life.
Other stuff about me:
Last year after 42 years of marriage my husband decided he did not love me and left. In July it will be one year. I was just heart broken as I had loved him since we were in high school. I feel he left me in our golden years. He does not want a divorce just a legal separation for financial reasons and health insurance. I thought my life could not get any worse and in January my 33 yr. old son committed suicide. A mother's heart is never the same and he was so special to me. So in June 2008 I am trying to stay with Godly people and trust in the Lord for my day to day living.

YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST
JESUS, FOR ALL OF YOU WHO WERE BAPTIZED INTO
CHRIST HAVE CLOTHED YOURSELF WITH CHRIST. THERE
IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, SALVE OR FREE, MALE
OR FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST.
( GALATIANS 3:26-28 *NKJV )
Now you know why the message is addressed to God's
Children this morning! For truly those who love and
worship God are His children, FOR IN HIM WE LIVE AND
MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. AS SOME OF YOUR
OWN POETS HAVE SAID, WE ARE HIS OFFSPRING.
( ACTS 17:28 ) Think about that the next time you are
feeling low, or are depressed and worried because of a
problem that you are facing. I'll bet that problem won't
seem so big if you do!
So friend, as a member of God's Great Family,
never feel alone and think that there is no one to turn too,
FOR HE HIMSELF HAS SAID, "I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU
NOR FORSAKE YOU." SO WE MAY BOLDLY SAY "THE
LORD IS MY HELPER; I WILL NOT FEAR. WHAT CAN
MAN DO TO ME?" ( HEBREWS 13:5-6 ) Therefore He will
always be there to love you, and guide you through any
difficulty!
Now as the Prophet David wrote: FOR YOU ARE MY ROCK
AND MY FORTRESS; THEREFORE, FOR YOUR NAME'S
SAKE, LEAD ME AND GUIDE ME. ( PSALM 31:3 ) So,
TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES, YOU PEOPLE; POUR OUT
YOUR HEART BEFORE HIM; GOD IS A REFUGE FOR US.
A refuge indeed! Amen. ( PSALM 62:8 )
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.
Nancy,
Hi! I have two things in common with you...gardening and divorce. I love to garden. In past summers my hubby and I would spend 6-8 hours out in the yard. We have 2 acres. But, this summer I can only work about 30-45 min otherwise the next day I can barely walk. I was diagnosed with Sjorgren's, it is a type of arthritis. Now he does most of the gardening and I get to help some. I miss it as it was something we like to do together. What is the name of the flower on the top of your page? Is this a picture of one you've grown? Almost all of our flowers are either flowering bushes or perennials.
I think you're on the right track to surround yourself with Christian friends. I also think that joining the support group on this site will help you, too. You have been through a lot in a short time.
I was 5 months pregnant with my youngest son when my marriage ended. He had been having an affair with a young woman he met at work. He'd been going out with her for about 18 months when I found them together. I hoped he'd want to go to counseling or that he'd be remorseful and tell me all he wanted was me and a life together raising our boys...But instead he told me he loved her. So the marriage ended. In courts of law it was about a yr before it ended on paper. I cried myself to sleep night after night until I just couldn't cry no more. I leaned on my God and faith that the bible tells us ..."That ALL things work together for good." But, still it hurts as you are going through the "storm" of the the situation.
If I can help you in any way just leave me a message on my comment board and I'll be glad to write you back or just listen to what you are telling me.
Do you listen to AFR on your radio in your car or at home? I can tell you more about it if you are interested.
I will be praying for you , too.
God loves you!!!!! He is the friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Your new friend,
Irene
I kept loosing you in the chat. I'm not sure what happened.
In order to get music on your page you need to have in already on your computer...unless, you want to just add it from someone else's page. You can do that also.
Jack on this site is amazing at Computer stuff..he is very much able to help, and knows alot more than me....
Carla, thank you so much for the wonderful encouraging words. I am a strong Christian going through some very tough times. I need support and friendship.
I will be updating my profile and working on it.
