i will do that.

aww i will pray for you.

i had many answered

my mom fibnally quit drinking and using horrible drugs. thaks to the lord

i prayed for a wonderful guy who didn't drink or use drugs, a man who didn't abuse or cheat all the time. a man who had a great personality and treaed me right and loved and cared about me for who i am. anyways i got him when i was 18 and we been together for 10 years and a month now. we dated for 5 years and now been married for 5 years so it's awesome.

i have had a miracle happen back in 2003 in the winter time. i got into a bad accident because i slid on some black ice and the car tipped to it's side and hit a pole. the car was totaled and i guess from what i heard gas was leaking because i hit the side the gas tank was on and the car was still running so it was a miracle we didn't start on fire or end up dying. i had two friends in the car with me and they could have died or been seriously injured due to the fact it tipped on the passenger side that they were on. thankfully we didn't get hurt and that was a blessing from god.

my husband had to go to court this year to win his disability back and he won his case and we got money to get a car that we needed and other things and plus it helps my stress so i don't have to pay all the bills anymore. we get more income now thanks to the lord.


the lord has blessed me and my husband so much. i am thankful for what the lord has done. he has kept me alive when icould have died several times. i will always be greatful for what he has provided for me and most thankful of all is that he is keeping me alive.

thats awesome but i must warn you about special ed. it may be hectic for you because a lot of those classes are with kids who barely pay attention and are more into cauing trouble for teachers. not all of them are like that but many are. i was in special ed classes and and most of us students would never listen to the teacher and made problems for them. this was years ago though. in my class in owatonna minnesota  the teachers in my class where getitng no where with the students because no one took school seriously it made it harder for me because i couldn't learn.

that is awesome praise god. it's just to bad that not all come out miracles.

ther eis a lot of plane crashes that end up killing people and it's so sad but it;s obvious that god anted to bring them home.

you are blessed. i may never get to experience a blessing of having children or grandchildren oneday.

i can't seem to conceive and god must not want me too.


congrats on your healthy granddaughter.

Great idea BEP!  You should probably sticky this as well so it will always be at the top of the list.

 

Grace and Peace!

Oklahoma Howdy to 2nd Timothy,

Thanks brother - great idea. Consider that done.

I was just reflecting on some questions:

Why should I believe the Bible over other books?

Why do you think that Jesus Christ is real?

If there is a loving God, why would he condemn people to hell?

If there is a God, why did he create evil and allow such suffering, pain, and grief for His creation?

If there is a real God, why doesn't He simply make all people saved and good?

If God is real, why does He allow so many bad things to happen to Christians?

If God is real, wouldn't that make Him the author of all wars, disasters, mass starvation, and all of the other suffering of mankind?

Someone told me that God either hates us or loves us before we are ever born, so why should we try to learn about a God who has already made up His mind about us?

What do Christians have that I don't already have? I'm having fun without all the rules, so why bother?

If God is real, why doesn't he make all the preachers get their stories right and say the same thing?

I think that some of the above questions and others would be very helpful here.

Love In Christ,

those are very intresting questions and some of those have ran through my head many of times especially when angry with something bad i have heard on the news. many people ask that including myself when i am angry. i do belive in god and jesus but when my temper got in the way many times i always asked some of those questions in which i know it's satan trying to get me to doubt and stop believing in god but it never happened because i always went back to god and believed when i thought about it.

there  were a  lot of times that i was so angry that i would even hurt myself and god by yelling and using profanity and putting down god so bad. i felt so bad those times i did that. i would actually cry because i hurt so bad in my heart after i wronged god. i could feel in my heart he was so sad after i did it. i hate hurting him like i did and not only did i hurt him but i hurt myself also so when i hear about bad things i always tell myself that god has a reason for everything because he does.

god has the answers to questions that no one else will know until their time has come.

i know that in my childhood i grew up with an alcoholic mother and a father who has nothing to do with me because he was married with kids when he had an affair with my mom. plus i been molested and all in my yoth. i grew up in a sad youth from being molested to being neglected and sometimes abused but i know that god wanted me to learn from all this and not be the way my mom or people in my youth were when it came to alcohol and drugs and all. so i stayed away from drugs and alcohol. i told msyelf that if i ever have kids i never want them raised of how i was raised. i never wanted to go to jail or prson like my mother did.

i had so many prayers answered especially the one were my mom would quit drinking and turn her life around.

she is not drinking anymore and we have a better relationship more then ever thanks to the lord. i forgave my mother and love her more then she could ever imagine. i know that she feels that she doesn't deserve forgiveness from me after the way i was brought up and raised but she's my mom and i love her and she knows that no matter what i will always love her no matter how she raised me. i'm proud to have a mother like her because she taught me what not to do or be when i grew up.


sorry i just felt like sharing this.

as i believe jesus was the son of god who god put on earth  to one day sacrifice his own son so that we all mankind can be saved and have the chance to go to heaven when we repent our sins and ask for forgiveness.

jesus who loved and served his father and loved all of us did what he was ment to do.

this is what i was taught in the baptist ways. i was baptized luthren when i was real young but now i am married into a family who is baptist and i started believing in their ways since i never went to luthren churches very much.


god loved us so much that instead of sacrificing animals all the time he chose to bring a son on earth so people wouldn't have to sacrifice animals so much so jesus came into the world so we could all be saved and no more animals would have to be killed all the time.


thats what i was taught.
