totally wow  :o :o

I did not even see these new responses to my testimony.

I do appologize for not seeing them, and feel a little guilt for just NOW seeing them.

Thnk you all for your comments and questions and prayers, It is sort of stomache butterflies to let people see my life, and to know, i do too have vunerabilities and weak emotions that hinder me in life.

The poem i fergot to ask her about , and it came up once in conversation to where she said " thnk you for it is one of the nice things ever given to me.

I will post a continuation of my testimony a bit later.

I expose a side of me, to all who read of me, to get a sense of the struggles in life we all share.

Knowing no one is above God's will, brings us all that much closer together.

God bless
Rodger

Of the oil field industry i came into contact with many, many, different types, drillers, derrick men, prospectors, surveyors, investors who bought or inquirered our maps.

Only 2 people i came across had this propensity towards sex/pornography, and both of them and only them work in the camera dept.  In this dept. we had a large size camera that could take a small picture and blow it up to the sive of a large SVU and even bigger and taller to your hearts content. Well these dummies would make semi-posters of the nudity of those contact magzines they would sneak into work.

And the WOMAN knew of their antics and stayed very clear of those 2. I felt uneasy with them aswell as we got a sense of their perversion in thier conversation with peers. In the end they were laid off along with the lot of us and never kept in touch with them and only now have i thought about them.  Who knows what road they traveled on after that time.

2 of my older brothers were derrickmen , the eldest was a derrick wheel, and no such sexual perversion or liaisons ever came about them.  So that leaves just the STRAWMAN conjoured up by a those who would use as an excuse that everyone who works in the oil industry are sexual beast.

thanks rodger.  i like the analogy of the strawman conjured up by those who would use as an excuse that all oil field workers are the same sexual beasts.  i must remember that.  i knew it was an excuse, but you have helped to clarify it.  again, gracias.

your sister in Christ,

Rodger:

I appreciate so much the fact that you shared your testimony; it has helped me put things in perspective, that's for sure.

It's also good to hear what other people have gone through in life experience so that you know where they are coming from.  I'm amazed that you haven't been defeated by life; I know it is only by the grace of God.  I pray for peace for you and your family....thank you again for sharing.  It means alot to people....James

I recall a time, i worked in a Mental hospital for adolescents. I was placed with a female co-worker on a suicide watch of a female patient. A 16 year old young attractive Intellectual Child, with Wisdom beyond her years had been molested by a family member. She felt like garbadge.

In one of our many conversations she knew she would have to eventualy get passed this situation/s and move on with Life. She expressed many times how she prayed to God to ease burden she would carry all her life mentally, especially if she would marry and have childern of her own, like she prayed and hoped.

On one of these occasions she asked if i would like to hear her present Anthem, to which i glady accepted and thanked her for, trusting me in sharing her Anthem.

Although she understood her suicide thoughts stemmed from her feelings sowed from her rape, she explained this song helped her vent with God, as she prayed for strength and guidance.

As i listend to this song i felt a revelation , vision was being open in my future life. it was eerie as a voice in my head kept kept drawing me in saying remember..... remember... .

During the rollover accident with Ford/Firestone tire, as i sat in that passaenger seat this song played in my mind so Amplified and soothing, it drowned the crunching of steel and breaking of glass. To this day i can remember the scene, but for the life of me cannot recall any sounds during the rollover.

As i struggled to open the door and both my brother and i fell out, i observed the wreackage and distance we rolled over. The song played on.   I understand now what happend to me then, as i stood on the sandy foundation of my life's work, now wrecked in a heap both my truck and boat. I thanked God for not taking my brother's nor my life, and letting me live to see my boys grow, and find a closer relationship with God, i promised. 

I never found out what became of the child, because of the injuries i sustained in the wreck i could no longer work at the Hospital, i was placed on light duty, clerical mostly. When my light duty time ran out i was on leave. When it was detremined i would not be able to perform my job much less anything as Physical. the only option i had was to resign my position, with a severly debt future ahead due to no work and bills piling on and a custody battle looming. I thank God for this life he gave to me instead of of giving me a sentence of death.

during this strife and down time in my life, i knew God alone carried me, as my Faith dwindle. It was at this time i found Bible-Truths, and an announcement over the national news of class action lawsuite on Ford /Firestone.

A major settlement was going to be coming our way, by but only through the Blessings of God.

Now when ever a set back occurs in my family's life, this haunting song will play in my Spirit. I strongly remind my family of the perils of the Strong Delusion (SPELL) we must all come out of and focus on God's will.

Just recently this occured just a couple of days ago as my older brother faced a cervical operation that could have left him paralyzed, God's blessing he came out fine and is doing very well in therapy and ponders now his new sustained eagerness to enjoy life more with God and his grandchildern.

I know and understand not all present trails and tribulations have happy endings, but they will and I will hope and pray each of us sustains to the end.

Enjoy the song........

Enya - I Want Tomorrow Lyrics

Dawn breaks; there is blue in the sky.
Your face before me
Though I don't know why.
Thoughts disappearing like tears from the Moon.

Waiting here, as I sit by the stone,
They came before me
Those men from the Sun.
Signs from the heavens say I am the one.

Now you're here, I can see your light,
this light that I must follow.
You, you may take my life away, so far away.
Now I know I must leave your spell
I want tomorrow.

Now you're here, I can see your light,
this light that I must follow.
You, you may take my life away, so far away.
Now I know I must leave your spell
I want tomorrow.

Peace and Understanding

Dear Roger

After reading your testimony it has made me appreciate the above song all the more.

I feel truly humbled, brother, and it brings to mind that little verse that Ray says he pasted into his Bible.
"Lord the ocean is so very large and my boat is so very small." You are head and shoulder above me, your house built on sand has truly collapsed and I do believe that the Stone has crushed you to powder. So may the Lord be with all of you as you start building a new life on the Rock. Praise the Lord! And say a little prayer for me.

One of the few I feel so very near the goal, keep good hold of it and keep overcoming as you have been doing, you cannot afford to take your mind off the target now. Sudden wealth can be very dangerous, so use it wisely and always give it bottom place in your priorities keeping the hawks well away. Always remember that you and your precious new family have a lifetime to live on what God has so graciously provided you with now. Don't waste it on sentiment and wrong living, the temptations will be there. Forgive me for giving this unrequested advice but 87 years has taught me quite a few lessons and I believe you are a bit of a soft touch like myself whilst at the same time keeping in mind: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1Jn.2:15-17).

                                                        ‘Tis always so with our loving Lord
                                                          Be our trials  many or just a few.
                                                      He times them all….by His appointed time,

                                                    Then He measure's..and brings you through.

                                                      So child of God, listen, there will be an end,
                                                          Just trust Him for His Word is true,
                                                     Be patient and wait, for in His own good time

                                                          He'll measure.and bring you through.

God bless you brother and sister in our joint walk in Christ. 

Love in Christ Jesus.

Thanks to your post, Gena, this thread was "renewed" and I now know...."the rest of the story!"  :)

Roger--your life has been an amazing journey--would you have traded it for a life of "normalcy?" Thanks for sharing this....all of it....the tears, the pain, the joy!

I could not agree with you more Gina. 

There are some threads that open up memories i stored away and feel good about dusting them off and sharing with this Spiritual Family.

I appreciate sharing my experiances , and thank you for you kind words and encouragement>

I have been told many atimes by my wife to  write it into a book, i do however made many journals.

I can only imagine how each of our lives is a Noveled Chapter unto itself, written by Our Father to become the next chapters in the Book of Life of the Lamb of God.

Wow...Roger! I never thought of it that way!

 I keep journals too. I used to think that I would try to write a book years ago....but what could I say that would really help another person? My story is really only important to me and God. Still I enjoy other's stories? Can't wait to see how this pans out! Peace!

Dear Roger

Thank you brother for your kind words, they mean a lot to me coming from a person of your character, resilience and faith in the face of deep adversity, it is just incredible. Your house on the sand has certain crashed and I believe your dear wife's advice to have your story published is one of the best there is. How edifying it would be for the millions who read it and what an excellent opening for the message of our truly loving God to be delivered to those in the dark locked in Babylon.

I have not been to see a movie from heaven only knows when because of the drastic shortage of story lines used by the film makers where pornography appears to be the only attraction. How nice it would be for them to open their eyes and pick this story up and release it to the world. I for one would certainly be filling a cinema seat once again.

Go to it, brother, here's your opportunity to serve your God and benefit yourself and family at the same time. It is God's way, I believe, of saying to you, "Well Done" in overcoming. Is this not the story of Job that you are reenacting? I do believe it is!  "Then Job answered the Lord and said, “I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ “Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.” ‘Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.’ “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.” ....."The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold. Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. He had seven sons and three daughters. He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. In all the land no women were found so fair as Job's daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. And Job died, an old man and full of days."  (Job.42:1-6 & 10-17).

I have no advice to give as to what you can do with the 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels, brother, but the Lord knows what He is doing that's for sure so He'll provide a reason.

My humble thanks to you, your wife and family for the lesson you have taught me and those on this forum. Keeping posting, as your posts and spiritual insights are invaluable spiritual food for your hungry brothers and sisters here.

God bless you brother,sister and family in our joint walk in Christ. 

                                  You're suffering weakness and pain...so hard to bear,
                                                  Both  sorrow and  trials too.;
                                          But they will not last….they’ll pass away.

                                       ‘Cause He’ll measure ….and bring you  through.

                                              Not a moment too long will they remain,
                                                 Though ‘tis hard to bear… ‘tis true,
                                                But in the end with spiritual strength.

                                                He’ll measure….and bring you through.

                                             Then in a wonderful way He’ll reveal Himself
                                               In a way, so completely and entirely new,
                                            Because as Almighty God you’ll  know Him then.

                                              As He measures…and brings you through.

Love in Christ Jesus.
