Praising the Good Lord everyday for his forgiveness and blessings!

LOVE Contemparary Christian Music! Some favs: Toby Mac, SuperChick

, Audio A (wish they were still together!), Chris Tomlin, Casting Crown...... Too many to list! I listen to Christian radio online at work (public school) and keep the volume down so I can listen to it at my desk, but not influence the students (unless they happen by

)

Always glad to be a part of Christian fellowship, even if it's online!

God bless all of you!

I want to thank those of you who offered up prayers for me about the job last week. I got called today and they want me to come to KY and take the tests I need to get hired. Now, I just have to get my transportation worked out to get down and back this week.

Keep thinking good thoughts!!

We've missed two Sundays within the past three weeks at church. It was due to sick kids. I just hate missing church! Thankfully, the kids are feeling much better. Just so blessed to belong to such a wonderful church family. Glad this thread has been started so that I've got others to fellowship in Christ with!

Funny thing... I can't remember. My youngest was making it hard to hear... she proceeded to talk about wanting me to color with her and that she wanted to go home, I could not get her to go down to the nursery (she usually does and enjoys herself but not yesterday), and then she ventured off and I thought she went downstairs to the nursery after her big sister, until I hear the piano being played in the next room.

is that MY kid?

Then during joys and concerns I found out this man I deem as a father figure who has helped me so much in the last 10 years is seriously ill and in the hospital... he got an infection that spread through his body, he's having lung and heart problems, he has a trach., and I was told he can hear you and knows your voice but just kind of lays there. It is breaking me up. I called the family upon my return to home and no one was home... probably at the hospital. This is a father of one of my class mates from high school...named Chuck. I love him so much... it was such a shock to hear.

I also recall the church handing out the bags to fill for Carpenter's Place for women in India--"Joining Hands against Hunger". And it was the week for the praise and worship team to sing... great contemporary songs... some I hadn't heard yet "If we are the body" and this one I had heard, "Above All"--- I like that one. The other weeks it's the choir that sings.

OK... just looked at my program guide.. I remember now... We read from John 12:1-11 about Lazarus' resurrection from the dead and how the word spread...

Funny. That is something my son would have done when he was younger. In fact, I am pretty sure he did at one point.

and I forgot she tried going to the corner where the drums were first and I kept throwing her that... no, don't you touch it, look.

She took her pointer finger and touched it anyway.

God makes things possible, not easy.

If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

I really needed that reminder. We moved my 93 year old father-in-law in, 9 days ago. He very nearly died and had spent 8 days in the hospital.

He's not real happy about not being able to live alone.

I would love prayer support.

chick-n-farmer, Prayers to you. It's so hard when you integrate families no matter the reason. God bless you for taking care of him in his time of illness.

My goodness, coming in here, I feel like I let out a sigh of relief and everything is ok now.. I know that sounds weird... I just took a peek in on another thread that was pretty anti-Christian and it is soo sad to me... seriously.. I'm all teary...

Anyhow...I grew up in the church.. at 3 I remember very vivedly sitting under a pew and being so happy knowing Jesus loved me. At 17 I gave my life to Jesus and was re-baptized. I was living a double life though, I was very involved in church, but didn't want to give up a lot of my sinful ways and it led to a lot of heartbreak. I got married at 24 because I was pregnant. With a home and a baby I renewed my committment to Christ and really started to grow and mature for the first time. Through miscarriages and divorce and years of being single and lonely I clung to my Savior. I started a ministry called Glory Seekers.. it was a 24 hour worship ministry covering our entire county. I divided the week up into it's 168 hours and went to all the churches and denominations in our county (just like the stones on Aarons robe) and had people sign up to Praise God for one hour a week. It goes back to King David doing this and when we look forward to heaven we see it there too. I wanted to experience it here on earth now. It was an amazing time where the Lord worked powerfully in my life and in our Community. We even had a 24 Worshipfest... We had the churches worship bands sign up for 2 hour segments and we worshiped and prayed for 24 hours continuously. About 200 people showed up and it changed our town. Amazing.

Then I met Brian.. single, christian, great single dad.... and hiding a whole host of mental illness. I was on a Spiritual High. We married very quickly and I was soon afterwards diagnosed with breast and thyroid cancer. I lost my ministry and eventually my emotionally and spiritually abusive husband. But I survived. And the Lord carried me through it. I am closer to Him now, but in a whole different way.

After this divorce we moved to where we are and just haven't found a church where we can call home. All the churches around here are very very wordly. So we do a lot from home. It is another season in my relationship with Him.. knowing that He will meet us where we are at home when we diligently seek Him.

Anyway.... it is sooooo nice to be here with y'all.
