Hello Everyone..............and thanks to my new family member Jean M........
I am a 'second time around child" to BibleTruths, and I am so excited this time because the website is what brought me to Christ the first time and studying the word and developing my relationship with God has brought me back permanently.
This time I have been fed and all covered in the blood of Christ and so excited and anxious to learn as much as I can. I want to be a living example of what God can do for our lives when we put him first, so my mission is to continue to do God's work and never forget, again, that He is and has been the head of my my life.
I appreciate the teaching of BibleTruths and all the many followers of God, and Mr. Smith's inspiration and leadership from our Savior. I have the uttermost respect for all of you who are living in the way in which Our God has ordered. Law abiding servants.
Thanks be to God for my new family and friends, and thanks and many, many, many blessings and prayers to Mr. Ray Smith for leading me to Christ. I love you and you have a lot of work to do for us all so be strong because God is not done with you yet.
My heart and my soul screams everyday because I cannot get enough to God's teaching and I am sadden when I have to put my Bible down to do earthly duties (if that doesn't sound to ridiculous). I am not good at quoting scripture and understanding them all very well, but what I have studied and continue to learn excites me daily and I can't get enough.
I dream of quiting my job so I can study the word daily, but that's my dream; for now. But then I worry that if I had the opportunity to study God's and Ray's teaching, would I be as committed to it then as I am now? Because it's so hard to get away from distractions of everyday life and remain focus on my duties to Chirst. I am very selfish about my time with God, as we all are. But then I have to remember that God has brought me this far in his word, and I am definitely not turning back, so I know He will lead me but I am afraid. But again, I need continued encouragement and help from all that can and will give me assistance.
I have so many questions to ask, and I need so many of them answered. I will be posting them as soon as I have an opportunity because I get lost in the scripture and can't quite decipher God's message to us. Also, I work at the synagogue and I am really confused when I listen to things that may offer some truths, but more in-differences and confusion because I know better. But it amazes me to see so many people who just clap and praise and dance and shout and I am wondering if they really know where they are going when they allow "man" to direct their lives. Even my grandchildren, (separate synagogues), and it makes me so sad and angry because they are being told by these non-believers let the spirit lead them at ages 1 and 2 years of age. But that is a whole story in itself.
Please keep me and my family in prayer as we face life and life's many tasks. But more so, keep me in your prayers as I journey though my relationship with Christ.
Christ, my provider,
