Long live- what is "the plan"?
2006-11-01 12:25:39 · update #1
In 04.
Four members of my family died within months of each other and I got stuck in an abusive relationship that ended horribly. I felt so lost. I skipped most of my junior year of high school because I didn't want to be around other people and I was angry at everyone.
I found myself again towards the end of my senior year. I found my grandmother's cross in my bedroom and never looked back.

Wow... I was going to say from age 12 until about 32 but I think I better just say that I've needed it every single day. And yes I've found the help I've needed because I'm still alive. The source was God. No surprise there. :)

Right now I need more help than I ever had in my life. I know that the source of help will be from inside myself, I just haven't figured out yet how to do it.

Thank you Don H, I needed to read that and I appreciate what you said. If I had the 10 points to give...it would be to you.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

When I need help the most was when my ex-husband was trying to kill me. I had expected the church to help me at least emotionally through this difficult time but they turned away from me because he said he was sorry. SORRY, he just kept trying and each time went back to the church for them to forgive him. They did, and then rejected me for not believing him. Dah believe someone coming at you with a gun, braking bones and cutting flesh, degrading and humiliating a person and bad little me, I didn't believe him. My help came from within, a self confidence and self reliance that I hadn't experienced before. It told me to leave, to forget those who told me I should die if it meant my family staying together and stand up for myself. I did, left the church when they rejected me and never looked back. I'm happy, healthy and a better person for doing for myself instead of waiting for help.

when I was very depressed one time. I did get some help, but not enough, because I still get depressed a lot, though not as bad as before.

When I was ill with breast cancer. There was 3 people that helped me the most with God first in my life--the one who truly healed me. It was my mom who now is deceased, husband who is deceased and dtr-in law whom I will never forget. They was there and I ask for their help and they helped me with much love and compassion.
