Will be praying for Randall to find a job

God bless!!!

Will be praying for Robert, Kristen...

I wondered the same thing after I read the series Threadbear...I know I would face the guillotine...I mean a second of pain, minute, whatever it takes, is nothing compared to the eternity of happiness and love we will feel.

Oh...I don't believe I saw God...I was more attentive to the warmth and peace I felt.

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:31

I never knew that sincereheart!!!  That's amazing...it totally brings Isaiah 40:31 for me  TY for sharing!!!

God bless!!!

I share that same fear JN....

I, though, feel as though I am not worthy at times...that I'm not good enough, even though I KNOW that the Lord knows that we are sinful in nature and that I do try my best to live to please the Lord.  

I am trying to overcome my other fears...such as snakes....terrified(but bad experience) and clausterphobia is another....being choked(I was choked by my stepdad when I was younger and an ex boyfriend when I was in my late teens).

Hi....

 I was just wondering, after reading the thread on ghosts...has anyone had a near death experience?

When I was 24, I got the chicken pox...internally as well as externally....the infested my liver, lungs, around my heart, kidneys, etc.  My outter appearance was horrid...I had no nose...my face was so infested and swollen....I looked morbid....after finally being rejected 5 times by the ER they FINALLY took me b/c my temp was 105.7, and I had pnuemonia...could barely walk, couldn't eat, etc.  They didn't expect me to live.
Anyway, I remember the first night/day I was there, they had me write a will...and CDC came to check me(were there the entire time I was)....I was in a coma for I believe 4 or 5 days...Well....at one point, I don't know which day it was, I remember feeling a totaly peace and warmth, total love all around me....and I saw two ppl, more shadowed, but glowing...I can't really explain it totally.  I was so ready and at peace to die...I mean, no pain, no fear, etc....then I could have SWORN it was my deceased grandmothers voice telling me it just wasn't my time....and I remember, not arguing w/ her, but saying, Nana, I am so ready...I want to go....and the response was that God still needed me here...(I had my daughter a few years later)....
I can't get over the peace and warmth I felt....totally different from any effect the pain meds and other meds I was on affected me.  I can envision the entire thing like it is happening now, and hear her voice and feel her touching my hand.
Am I crazy?  I'm not insinuating that I am special in any way, was just wondering if anyone else experienced anything like this?  I met one woman once who had a very similar experience.

Praise God!!!

Praying for those who don't believe that they may open their hearts and let the Lord in!!!

God bless!!!

Praying for your friend!!!

Water here

OK...I can't stand the Miami Dolphins either, considering I'm from Buffalo...originally, but my other home team is the Buc's....and, so I have to say:  CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTENING!!!  
Sorry Calgary!!!....GREAT games though!!!

That is so true Jenn....I see that more and more each day...
even w/ the pain she is in, her eyes stay focused on the Lord...she knows...and we all know...and nobody can ever take away the fact that she completely put all her faith and trust in our Lord...and His answer is one that HE see's right...He's our Maker and knows our time...

Thank you Jim.

You are right ....I was just reading that there are times were are at the top of the mountain, and then others when we are in the valley.  It is then, when we are in the valley, that we have to utilize what we had and learned while at the top of the mountain.
Everything is in the Lords hands, and He is always with us and knows our purpose.

It was such an eye opener for me the other day.
We found out that my aunts hip and pelvis are disintegrated, but she has faith that she will run out of that hospice...be it to her home here or to our Lord in Heaven.  It's a win/win situation.  
It's these times of trials where I see myself get all muffled, but I just pray and our Lord and Saviour just helps me out.  He never does give us more than we can handle!!!
I find myself enjoying the littlest things in life more...praying more, really getting into the Word more....reaffirming my faith, etc..
I appreciate your response
Praying for you and the heart disesase(my mom has been dealing w/ one also since she was 36...brand new aorta, etal....)

God bless!!!
