If you dont believe i'd appreciate it very much if you wouldnt put your input on this. I think i know what you'll say. But if you do believe, tell other christians about what the lord has done. Testify!

The Lord has just been moving in my life in ways that are awesome! My husband is the youth minister at our church and this is truly what he is called to do! He is is in seminary school and doing wonderful academically. My daughter is in a scholarship program at the age of 9 and excelling in all areas at school; in addition to that, she is cheering, singing in the choir etc. She is just a flourishing and bubbly child!
I am on my way to starting a website with a close girl friend re: the gospel of Jesus and we are looking forward to all the souls we believe will be touched by this ministry.
I have been celebrating life, and getting my home the way I want it ( throwing out some old and in with the new!).
Lastly, we are believing God for an addition to our household, because we REALLY WANT a baby!
I am just trusting and believing God at his word, for he is not like man that he should lie, when it says that he will grant the desires of your heart!
I am just excited that someone would even ask the question so I can take this moment at work, to say I love the Lord, he is my all, I am so grateful for ALL he has done and is going to do in my life! I give him anticipatory praise for the blessings I haven't even seen yet!

I was into drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, into a lifestyle of sexual perversions. Pursued money, had a filthy mouth and so on.
Now I live clean pray all day long go to holy mass twice a week
take my family to catechism classes once a week my kids now go catholic schools. I go to confession once or twice a month, I read the bible and people cannot believe the change that Gods graces has done for me and it is still ongoing His remolding of the clay as we speak. It has been about 3, 3 1/2 years
I cannot describe the peace and wisdom that I have received but I do share it. God Bless
p.s. This is the first time that I have stated this, ever Thanks for the question hopefully it could help someone out there that it is possible to change your life around.

I was so much like these atheist on here before I was born of Spirit. Why if He is so loving are the children of Africa subjected to war, rape and rampant aids what did they do to Him? I was bitter and angry with God and everyone. I was filled with shame about choices I'd made. I wanted to love but I didn't want to forgive those who had hurt me and I was mad at God and my grandmother for saying I should. Bless her heart she was full of patience. Job had nothing on that God-centered as near a perfect person as I've ever known.
Now after I received God's love and it was real to me it's like the book said. I love Him because He first loved me. Also receiving His love upped my own worth in my eyes. If He loves me then I'd better love me too. I was in bed and will never forget how peaceful and joyious I felt. Life is hard but by relying on God it is very full and I'm content. As with anything add the ingredient of humans this time me and it is slow going and sometimes I get all wrapped up in me still. It is funny because my friends think forgiveness and tolerance are just part of me but it wasn't there til He put it there. Honestly it seems like giving the Glory to God doesn't always bare fruit to the human eye. Looking back on my life I think of all the things my grand mother told me and I know my finding the Lord is the fruit of her giving God the Glory. I mean before conversion I knew she was loving and good and because of that I always believed that she was telling me what she believed to be truth but I thought that she was pleasantly confused and delusional. I'm so grateful that God put people in my life like her. God changed me and life is good. Oh yeah I used to comtimplate suicide I felt so hopless, my mind works so differently now I had forgotten. It is not that I don't have problems it's that I have hope and faith that God will work it out.

three years ago this christmas, my ex husband left me, i was completely devistated, learning later the reason was another woman. i was not really a religious person, did not know the lord. did not think i would survive. but now 3 years later, another christmas, i have found the lord, had to get to know him, and my life is completely changed, instead of having a bad life, where i was not loved, today my life is so wonderful, got a new love, who loves me, got a new home, much nicer than i use to have,but it isn't about materialistic things, this experience that was intended to destroy my belief in the lord, instead brought me closer to him, with me wanting to know all i could about him, he has trasnformed my hard life, to something much better, plus i could never have found him where i was in life at that time. truly did not believe at first that i could get over what was done to me. but now i understand why, because he had a different plan for my life.

God can do many things for you if you truly believe. God is my protector and Shield. Check out my question "Do you think the birth of the Red Heifers born in the 1990’s is proof that the Messiah will be coming soon?" There is an important message for everyone.

Besides the awesome expierience of true salvation:
There are many times when ( I don't know why) God tells me, not in words, to tell someone about Jesus, or a word for them that portains to thier life.
One time I was really nervous, asking God over and over, "Are you sure you want me to say that?", and over and over, God was saying "DO IT"
heh.
So I told a guy I didn't know at all "You need to forgive your wife."
He was surprised but then said "I already have, I asked God to forgive her."
I said, "You will never lose the bitterness and sadness in your heart until you forgive her in person."
He was silent... then changed the subject.
I've spoken in tounges (which suprisingly many people don't know about) many, countless times, and continue to.
I've actually prophesied wrapped up in the spirit about one of my friends' salvation. And, the next day he came to me completely changed.
Every day I read the word in the morning it somehow pertains to my day and teaches me something about God. And when I don't, I wonder why I didn't get everything accomplished. It's supernatural... spending time to read the bible ultimately gives me more time to do other things. I guess God just wants to talk and be with us sometimes more than preaching at us.
I've learned prayer is most important, and it really works if you believe in it.

I don't doubt that miracles happen daily all around us,
Christians tend to think they have a corner on belief in God. Proselytiznig buffoons deserve reproach. I for one am a deist, a God of my understanding exists in my life and I believe fully that my purpose is to act according to him what his will is for me. I witness daily that fact of countless men and women who have struggled under the juggernaut of addiction are recovering from this grave illness through the power of belief in a higher power.
The biblical literalism most supposed Christians adhere to, is opposite of what Jesus the man taught.

Well I know for sure that he was the one that put all those obstacles in my way so I could sober up!! I am always happy to share my story in detail with others when related comments come up in my circle. It took many years of praying on my knees, even when I was not sober, for him to let me know that it was finally time to move forward and not look back! It's been many years since that powerful moment! I still get teary when I think how He touched my life.

He opened my eyes to my position and His. When I saw this He gave me the abundant Grace I need and continue to need to try and live my life according to His Will. He has given me security in an insecure world, and He has given me a Promise in a world where nothing is for sure. Thank You Jesus. This is our best advantage in the world of the lost, by showing God's power in our lives. No one can deny it, but it is on us, to live out what the Lord has blessed us with. Strive on Brother and Sisters!
