| Forgive me for dissing you Lord... |
|
| |
- It's been ages since I have been on here but some amazing stuff has happened in the past several months that I need to share about. As you know my oldest daughter has had some legal troubles, my husband lost his job, and we ended up losing our home. But what you don't know is that all of these "terrible" things were not terrible at all. Let me explain...
- My daughter's legal trouble was a blessing... yes you heard me right... a blessing. She has so turned her life around since then. It was a real wake up call for her and an answer to prayer for us.
- And losing our home after Rodger lost his job was not so bad after all... I mean I would have preferred to keep it, but we were struggling so much with finances due to the above legal trouble and his job loss. We didn't really understand what a strain it was putting on us, but God did, and when He allowed us to lose it.... instead of feeling awful... we felt free. We were able to find a rental that allowed us to keep our little doggies, and the best thing was... it was a rental from one our own church members.
- Rodger is still out of work and has now ran out of his initial unemployment benefits, ( he has just applied for an extension and your prayers are appreciated) however, the fear I felt before is gone.... and thinking back on the recent past.. I have realized how faithful my God is. Of course I knew He was faithful in my head but now I KNOW He is faithful with all of me.
- So I'm asking the Lord to forgive me for
- dis-trusting Him
- dis-believing Him
- dis-respecting Him
Thank you so much for all your prayers =) |

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I don't know how to put them pics on here like pp have---you know--them animated ones--but just pretend you can see me doing a ridiculous but joyous boogy-down dance sorta like football players when they get a touch down! I'm super happy and this super encourages me b/c of our plight as well. Trust. Yep. He has our best interests at heart. I told you all that as you went through that ,but I am such a fart b/c I can't seem to take my own good advice. LOL Love you!!! |

Amen, sis! Amen. I was wondering how long it would take for you to return with your praise report *smile. I know from personal experience that often what we think is a bad thing in our lives is really just the beginning of good things. I'm so glad you are back and that you are strong in Him. I hope to see you more often. Love ya (((hugs))) |

It is good to hear from you Robin. Yeah, I have been down that road and lost everything, and it is amazing what you can live without. One thing I learned when I lost it all I still had Jesus and that made all the difference. It has been 10 years ago but I have been restored...a new and beautiful wife, children, my children still love me, have great relationships with them, bought a house recently, am pastoring again, have all my bills paid, and credit again. I have learned as Paul said to be content in whatever state I am in. However, it is not about me, right now it is about you and what God is doing in your life! I rejoice with you and ask that God continue to bless and provide for you and that you will grow increasingly closer to Him. Be blessed! |

I love your blog here! He does not allow anything to come at us unless it goes through Him, first.
