I love your story... and I love the work you were saved under... It is so rewarding... I'm so glad that  you are where you are in life now... OUr GOd is a great big Wondrful God!!!! He will use you mightily in his kingdom... Your testimony is gold in the hands of the Lord...  Take it and run with it and spread it wherever you can...  YOu go Girl!!!!

Was feeling a little down one day and I penned this little poem... I tried to do it without bashing my ex while expressing my hurts...

I hope you enjoy it! I would like to share it...

Cradle Robber at Large!!!!

There once was a man who travelled other lands to preach of a "better life"
While there for a spell he met a young gal and decided to make her his wife
He went to her daddy sportin' a caddy and asked him for her hand
Daddy wanted to say "No" but he knew she must go
An before long she was wearing his wedding band...

The man took her away said this is where she must stay
And in a short time the young girl started to ball...
For in a weeks stay... she knew right away
Daddy never treated mamma this way at all...
She called home to her mother who tried to love her
From a phone and a long distance call

As mamma caressed her empty nest
She wished she could get rid of this pest
She prayed and she prayed all thru the night
Hoping for the answer with dawns early light
As the months turned to years there were so many tears
Her baby girl was stuck with this plight...

Why would a man who was ten years her senior
Come and woo her with such a false demeanor?
How could some one with so much charm
Use and abuse her and cause her such harm?
With his debonair smile oh such a fable
Why had he come and robbed HER Cradle?

As the years went on
the girl bore her own child
He was her life so meek and so mild...
A few yrs later she bore another
Now for sure she was a bonifide mother

They laughed and they played and they occupied her mind
They helped her to leave all her troubles behind
Although the pain and suffering never came to a halt
There was nothing she could do it wasn't her fault
When the children would call out in the morning to their daddy
He was always too busy driving away in his caddy

Late at night when he would finally arrive
The children would be sleeping
It was like he wasn't alive
Grammie bought one of them a ball and a bat ...He said thank you but..
My daddy doesn't play with me like that

As years grew on the young girl lost her song
And with his games was no longer willing to play along
She left the man to start over anew
When she sent for her children something was askew
Although he had never ever really played a part
Out of the blue the children had become the center of his heart

As the young girl now stands and looks at her nest
She only has one child to nurture at best
If he tries to steal her he'll be put to the test
With all of her strength and with all of her might
She'll hang on to this one so close and so tight

He has two out of three he'll not have another
He stole them from her like he stole her from her mother

This is my wonderful son Colten... God has touched him and I know that he is going to walk on in faith claiming complete healing from whatever caused his seizure... This is something that he has never had before and definately not something God wants to plague his child... Colten belongs to God and Satan has no rights concerning   him or no say in his direction in life... He will study Law and nothing will come between him and his goals as he walks in the footsteps of Christ... In Jesus Name... God is Good!!! His stripes he bore were not in vain... He died for Colten's healing... and also for yours Michelle, Tom and Roger... WE just have to claim it and speak it as though it were... I believe it...

I stand at attention in salute!!! As the daughter of a career soldier I respect your decision and give you honor... May the Lord lead and guide you ... in all your ways acknowlege him and he shall direct your paths...and remember the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord... You will come across great temptation and it will be a challenge to stand up for who you are and what you believe... during those times you will find that cleansing yourself with his word will be a great source of strength ...Let him go before you... our strength is made perfect only thru him... when you get to the point where you feel like you can't go on...(those times will come) remember that when you have given all that you have and all of your strength God comes along to make perfect your strength...He is the lifter of your head...  You can do all things thru Christ who strengthens you....

I am not trying to be a nay sayer... just stating the facts and encouraging you ... I pray that these words from scripture will come to you in your time of need and bless you and provide encouragement...

You are devinely favoured

Grammy Luv...

 I have just come out of 15 years of inner city work... In the ghetto of Philadelphia... We rehabiliated court adjudicated youth and also homeless, drug addicts and women of the night... It is very dangerous doing that kind of work and also very rewarding... when you go to start your inner city work... be sure to try taking the route of getting city funding and also do not be afraid to tell them that you are gong to use biblical principles to rehabilitate and guide people in their sinful wartorn lives... When it comes to those kinds of problems they are becoming hopeless in their attempt to turn things around and are more desperate to try anything that will work... We had a 96% success rate in the years we ran our day treatment center which was 8 yrs... besides this we pastored... it is a selfless job... inner city work...alot of people say they are doing inner city work but drive back home at the end of the day in their cadilacs to their beautiful homes out in the suburbs... It is not till you live and breathe their culture that you gain their trust 100%... it isn't pretty living there...  and you put  your children at risk living there too... my children were caught in the crossfire on a few occasions... and I lived with the motto..."Where Sin abounds ... God's grace much more abounds...and so it did... God kept his hands on them... Man if you feel the call to inner city work... Go for it!!! The labourors there are few... Your interest in it makes me smile...

My daughter's nick name is Twitterbug... and when she was really little and all her baby toys were all over the place and I would pick them up at the end of the day I would say I had to go around and pick up all the twitterbug dust... so ... I use that as a handle on alot of sights

Wow!! that is one serious raspberry there Dream WEaver... and who is the sharp dude int he uniform?

Please keep my son in prayer... He collapsed today and ended up in the hosp[ital... no answer as of yer... He is in Texas and I am here in Canada.. makes it really hard...  It's nice to have all you christian folks to rely on for prayer right now..

 
  So thanks for the welcome...Tom... I do have my chatty moments... then I have my busy ones... It's nice to be able to come into a forum and joke around and know that things are gonna stay clean and there is respect and a common admiration of my God... I love it and feel honoured to be apart of it...thx again to my friend michelle the Tigerlily

I hope you are feeling a littel better this afternoon....Luv ya

Check out You Tube  Guys... Christmas with a capital C... it's the baum... tighter than a fiddle



How is everyone today?

I was in conversation today with a dear friend of mine and this was one of the communications I had made to him...

I think that God allows us to go thru things in life to be able to be a blessing and an encouragement to those who are around us.. we are called according to His purpose and therefore the things we go thru as children of  God are for His purpose not our own... yes we do become stronger and build character thru our trials but still that is only secondary... God's number one goal is to gain the favor of as many people that He can... When he finds a strong one that is feisty and can stand the test and the hurricane winds that blow he uses them for his purpose... Look at Job... He was the most Godly man that was alive... but he went thru worse than everyone around him for what reason? Almost doesn't seem fair but it was for God to prove something... and that was it!!!!... Just for God to prove something... So how do any of us think for one minute that we are any better than Job?...GOd knew that Job could withstand anything and keep on standing... What does God have to prove thru us He has to prove his almighty power to save and to KEEP!!! That is the key right there... It is easy to be saved but so hard for people to face adversity and keep on going... So many just fall over at almost the faintest of breeze carrying the oder of cow dung... so to speak...Therefore He uses the "life lessons" as you call them of other people to let others know... man!!! if they can do it... I can do it... You show me a strong stoward saint of God and I'lll show you someone who has been thru the fire many times over... It is not until you have been tested that you truly know what an individual is made of... There are some that are standing tall and shining very brightly who have never been thru the fire... but they are not proven or tried as pure gold as the bible says...Maybe they would fall over if tried so He never allows them to go thru things and be used mightily... A book of "life lessons"?(my friend is thinking of writing a book)... I don't think there could ever be too many...I would encourage you to pump out as many as you can... If God has laid this on your heart it could be the means of snatching someone from an uncontrolable downward spiral that ultimately ends up in spiritual death for that person...YOu have the ability to reach people I would never have the chance to and vise versa... Every person touched or save thru the book would be a star in your crown on that great day...There are not many of us that go thru extreme adversity for extended periods of time.... We must share what God has done for us and how HE tought us to survive in the midst of a storm... I personally have learned how to dance in the rain without an umberella and jump in the puddles around me with no gum rubbers... At first I was embarrassed at the thought of everyone knowing my story because it is so aweful and ugly and just something I would love to forget and leave behind me... but I realize it would be a sin and all the life lessons learned would be invain if I never shared them with others...

Ok so after writing this communication to him I went back to my profile to read my scripture for the day and this is it... I just had to share this...I was like WOW!!! talk about confirmation...

Ephesians... 1:9-10

Having made known unto us the mysteries of HIS will, according to HIS good pleasure he has purposed in HIMSELF that in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven , and and which are on earth, even in HIm

It's sooo aboutChrist... and not about ourselves...If we can somehow grasp that as christians the trials we are going thru are not about us ...EVER... they are for HIS... we laugh at the statement " so kingdomly minded that we are no earthly good"... well I don't think that that is too far off the mark the more I think about it... We are only on this earth for a very short time temporarily... this life we are living has one purpose only... it is not about us ... not what we have... what we have lost... what we have gained...where we are going... what we have done... it is simply to be in communion with God like ponds in this game called "life on earth" ...to be used for God to gather as many unto him as possible ...He will use us in whatever capacity he can to further the success of winning as many as he can to Himself... The stronger you are the more you will go thru because  He is able to use you mightily in this war against satan to snatch as many as He can ... If God is making an example out of you it is actually a good thing... although it is hard for us to see this at the time we are in the fire...everything that we are and possess in this temporary state is God's anyways (including children and family members ... I thought I would die when He allowed me to lose my boys)...but who are we to try to hang on to things and try to dictate the course or direction God has allowed our lives to take? Our lives are His anyways... Just live, breath, sleep, eat, talk and abide in Him til He comes and all of the hurts will be as not one day... Life is but a vapour...We have a hope and that is only inChrist... I am so glad to be His kid

Ok guys... It's been a fling... Gotta boogie ...
