| MY JOURNEY.... |
|
| |
While everyone is getting ready for the holidays (I'm ready). I sit and reflect on 2008 and what how my life took a turn, God's Will have set my life on a brand new Journey. From July 1st I have shared with you parts of this Journey, but today I am sharing the personal side of this Journey. A friend helped me put it into words (Thank You LOL). God has bought me a mighty long way. I am looking forward to spending time with family and friends and meeting new friends. Discovering the New Me in Jesus and setting personal goals. Celebrating Jesus Birthday and Mine.
My Remarkable Journey.!
My journey has been rough.
Dealing with the ups and downs of life, can really be tough. The loneliness alone, is more than enough. Being a Christian wife, I didn't expect I'd have to deal with this kind of stuff. I'm married, living single.
So I'm not at liberty to just go out and mingle. Being married, but separated. Makes it hard to celebrate it. At least until I am divorced. So aloneness, is my choice. I spend most of my time, in cyber space.
But at the end of the night, my home is but an empty place. Day after day, that the reality, that I face. Yeah I talk to people about it, the ones I trust and love. And I know the Lord watches over me from above. But it would still be nice, to have someone to hug. This is a hard journey I'm on.
Some times, I don't even want to come home. But that's what it's like, when you build your life with someone, and then find yourself alone. I know I shouldn't complain. But that is one of the things, that seems to ease the pain. I tell you, this journey has me just about drain. I've lost my appetite to eat.
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep. So I just wait for the day, when this is over, and I'm set free. But until then, will you all just pray for me.
 ON A STORMY SEA, MY GOD SPEAKS TO ME....

So sorry to hear that. Please read Isaiah 54. God loves you. He's closing up that open wound...like the woman with the issue of blood, like the widow woman in the book of Kings. God is turning your life around. When the turning stops, you'll wear a crown of blessing. All of your help cometh from the Lord.
Isaiah 54The Future Glory of Zion 1 "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the LORD. 2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. 4 "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. 5 For your Maker is your husband— the LORD Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. 6 The LORD will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit— a wife who married young, only to be rejected," says your God. 7 "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. 8 In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the LORD your Redeemer. 9 "To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. 10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. 11 "O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will build you with stones of turquoise, [a] your foundations with sapphires. [b] 12 I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. 13 All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's peace. 14 In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. 15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you. 16 "See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc; 17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD. |

| Terry as one who understands your journey, because I've been on that journey and had to walk it for 11 years before I officially became a FREE woman, I personally know all about the lonely nights, the tears, the heartache, and the pain. I could write a book about rejection...humiliation...and broken trust. As one who know about this all to well, I've tried to express to you what worked for me...and has worked for me..and has molded me into the woman that I am today....JESUS....He has been my strength..my JOY...my FRIEND...my PROVIDER...my WAY MAKER...my EVERYTHING....There were no natural friends around for me (God had it that way)...it was just *ME* and *JESUS*...*HIS WORD* and *ME*....My journey birthed 2 books before divorce...a website, a newsletter that reaches close to 300 people bi-monthly...and a Prophetic Ministry...after divorce....my journey has birth THE KINGDOM POETS...A Radio Broadcast...and still other books not yet published.....All I can say my sister is that NOBODY can do you like JESUS....and if you put your TRUST in anything or anyONE else...you will only be disappointed in the end.....
This comes from someone who knows.....Destiny posted Isaiah 54..and that is the scripture that has kept me going....GOD is MY husband...and when my natural husband comes along (and he will..he's already here, we've been friends since 2002)...It will be by the Hand of God Himself...and not by my hands because of lonliness...
I love you my sister..I really do..and I do not want to see you get hurt AGAIN! I miss you on the radio broadcast...the poetic gift is already in you...The ONLY help you need to bring it out...Is the HOLY SPIRIT....Listen to HIM...and WRITE ;o) |

My dear sweet Terry
The Holy Spirit says "when the wound is almost healed it hurts the most". .
Heavenly Father, I come to you on behalf of my friend Terry. You know what she is going through, and why she is going through it. You know how long it will take for this problem to be resolved in Terry's heart, mind and soul. I can only ask that you do a quick job of releasing the pressure on her mind and heart, and please do not allow her to sink into any type of depression. Please carry her out to the other side and when it is all said and done, I pray that you say "well done my child enter into the place prepared just for you". Your Word says what YOU put together, let NO MAN put asunder. I know You have heard this request and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Please watch over Your Word, I pray in the name of my precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen.
I love you Terry. Hold on to His Word. He will not let you down.

This just about says it all.... God, Please watch over Terry, renew her strength and refresh her with never-ending love. Please blanket her with peace and with hope, as she passes though this season of her life. Please provide loving friends for her to talk with, and above all else, help her to know that she is never alone. In Jesus Christ's Name I pray, Amen |

| Terry, I am not married, however, I can relate to the loneliness. I am semi-retired & have not worked since December of last year, so I am almost always at home. I do like being home, but do wish God would place people around me (who love Christ) to have interaction with. Right however, I do not even have the desire to be social; which is not a good thing & I know it. There have been a lot of tears flowing lately, which I believe is a cleansing for me. Due to different circumstances this year, people that were my friends really were not & are not in my life now. But with God, anything is possible & He can turn things around. Terry, you are constantly in my prayers & just know that you are so loved by your MC Family & I know you biological family love you. So sorry I got carried away by my stuff, but I guess it needed to come out. Bless you, my sister in Christ. |

| Terry, I second the suggestion to read Isaiah! Good ol' Isaiah has gotten me through the most difficult times in my life. I also jokingly agree with Mike saying men stink -- just coz it makes me grin --- and having two older brothers makes that particular statement come alive. LOL! So with Scripture, laughter, the love of the MC family and others, you are a beautiful and remarkable TESTIMONY in progress! |

Heavenly Father, you are the God of comfort, your Word says that you allow us to suffer that we may comfort others with the same comfort you give us.. Lord, I just praise you because I see so many women here who can provide that comfort to the one who is suffering now.. I thank you for Isaiah 54 as well.. because that was my life and you were there the whole time!!! Oh Lord.. I pray you would bring my sister a rainbow in the clouds.. and that you would allow her to see the entire rainbow and she would know without a doubt you keep all of your promises!!! Lord, I pray at the night time that you would draw her near and she would see what a BIG SHEPARD you are...keeping wolves away from her door and protecting her heart.. Oh Lord, I pray that she would see you as the fantastic husband that you are... always thinking of her, always doing things to bring her joy...sending that one person her way to lift her spirits... You are indeed an awesome husband.. and Lord, I pray you would give her the strength to let go of what she needs to let go of.. to persevere where she needs to persevere and I pray she would have the wisdom to make her choices each day... we love you Father.. thank you for seeing us..
Terry, I remember one day I was outside of my ex husbands home.. dropping my children off for a visit..he was getting remarried to the woman he left me for.. and I was so alone and devastated from my own bad choices as well... and there was this rainbow.. It struck me as odd because it wasn't raining and it was just cloudy but there it was.. (I lived in California) And I was like wow God.. and His Word came to me about how faithful God is... and I was like "You know Lord, I've never seen a whole rainbow..." I was talking to Him while I was driving and WOW... I came over this hill and on the other side was a rainbow stretched out on both sides of the road and I could see it from beginging to end!!!! It amazed me!! God is like that, He sees everything from start to finish, but we can only see bits and pieces like a rainbow in the clouds... but that day I seen it all and it reminded me of how big God is.. I pray so much Terry that the Lord would bring you that rainbow in whatever way it will touch you the most!!!
in Him
