Thought I was going to have to
work today. What a blessing
I get to have another day off! YAY!
I'm going to share with you something
I wrote in my personal journal here
at home today... I pray it blesses you!
Who I was & Who I am ... 09/07/09
I was saved when I was just a little girl ...
My Mom always had my twin brother and
myself in church ever since I can remember..
Until soon after my Grandaddy died in August
right after my 16th birthday. My life has been
an emotional roller coaster since the age of 3 when
my Mom & Dad got a divorce.
To make a very long, long story a little bit shorter. . .
My Mom was married four different times. As the Bible
says ... I knew all about Jesus and read the Bible... I just
didn't know .... Jesus wanted to reveal Himself to me and
He still does...
I was saved as I said but I listened to the devil and became
a very angry young woman... Sure there was friends I had that
really weren't my friends at all ... I had gotten into smoking
cigaretts very early (5th grade) and drinking and drugs was
soon to follow... There were also boyfriends I had that I shoud
not have had anything to do with... I unfortunately did not wait
until I was married to have sex as I was taught.
There were lots of things I did not understand and I was
confused on top of all my anger.
I did marry for 7 years and got a divorce after he wanted to
leave and he got scared about our financial situation... I moved in
with my brother and eventually moved back close to my Mom,
step-Dad & sister with my brother.
Ya see I was seeking love and happiness in a man, in alcohol,
in drugs ... That love was not there... (It never will be)
Ending up heart broken and unhealthy from so much drinkin'
and druggin' I cried out to Jesus one night to save me. To just
get me out and away from my cheating boyfriend....
He did just that. I went back to work with my family as an
ad designer...
There are still days when I think I want to go back and be that
"party girl"... The devil tries to make me feel sad and lonely ...
Praise God that through His love and His Grace God gave me
Jesus and the Holy Spirit to help me and I never have to be lonely again!
I am loved, and I do love God, myself & others. I have JOY... Joy
that is way beyond happiness... I am a child of God... His Princess
as I like to call myself.
Here's a prayer from an article I read this morning that my Mom wanted
me to read. I wanted to share that also...
(I love my Mom, she's always praying for me and helping me.
As a Bible college graduate from Rhema Bible Collage she knows
a lot more about the Bible than I do. She's not only my Mother here
on earth... She' s my spiritual Mother and my friend!!!!!!)
Mother Teresa's Prayer:
"Lord, make me a channel of Your peace, that where
there is hatred, I may bring love,
Where the is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness,
Where there is dicord, I may bring harmony,
Where there is error, I may bring truth,
Where there is doubt, I may bring faith,
Where there is despair, I may bring hope,
Where there are shadows, I may bring light
and where there is sadness, I may bring joy."
Amen
Psalm 66: 17 - "For I cried out to Him for help,
Praising Him as I spoke"
Have a great rest of the weekend...
