HI ALL I just found this board, I'm up early today and browsing, thinking and praying through all I have read and wanting to know more people like me. I am trying so hard to live the life God wants me to live, to surrender completely to Him and let Him run my life. This is truly my heart's desire, but I have to be honest and tell you that I, myself, get in the way so often! Like Paul wrote, the very thing I do not want to do, I do... Please pray for me to stay the course, I want people to see Jesus in me. If I know that I can somehow touch other people with Jesus in me and seeing Him in me, then somehow I can grasp at the idea that all I've been through in my life is not for nothing. I'm not too fond of the idea of being able to minister to those who have been abused, molested, raped, unplanned/unwanted/aborted pregnancy, sex from an early age, a dysfunctional family, an extramarital affair, and friends who have betrayed me. But what the enemy meant to destroy me, God will use for His glory. I am a ragamuffin, my faults and hurts and blind spots are there for everyone to see - but God loves me anyway. Please pray for me to continue to be willing to be willing, and to continue to look for God in my life and recognize Him, from waking up in the morning and saying Good Morning God (instead of Good God, it's morning) and going through the day with all of life's best thrown at me, and ending the day with a thank you Jesus, we made it through another day. thank you all.

You are beautiful. And even now God is doing some thing great in you. When others see your faults, God sees your possiblities. He loves because he made you. And what needs to be changed will happen as you live in his presence. Relax. God is in control.

Mrs. L.C. - what a God thing this just was. I am on my way to run out of the house to get school supplies for my kids and I wanted to check my messages. I am having a hard day (to bed late, up early, two kids sleeping over, my daughter made waffles for all, kitchen is a disaster and my husband wants to go shopping to IKEA and organize the office and my kids need school supplies and my son needs cleats - ahhhh) and then I read your reply and my eyes popped out of my head, I had to go back and reread what you wrote again and again. I love it when God makes Himself known to me through other people - thank you so much, as always, His timing is perfect. Blessings to you.
